    In this Slate article, the author dives in deeper to comments made by Netanyahu in the lead up to the final day of elections. Touching on the issue of no Palestinian state, the author spends most of the article pointing out Netanyahu's blatant bigotry against the Arab people who make up 20% of Israel.

    This article gives some insight as to why the group has been banned from participating in parliamentary elections in Egypt. The Brotherhood was deemed a terrorist group partially due to their involvement in violent demonstrations all through out Egypt. Though the brotherhood denied it, the government has enough evidence to deem them terrorist and essentially destroy their power in government.

rights egypt women revolution

shared by aromo0 on 17 Feb 16 - No Cached
  • Unprecedented state violence against women between the time of the revolution (2011) and the election of a new government (2012) contravened international law, and violated the spirit of the revolution.
  • Egypt’s first democratically-elected, post-revolution government overwhelmingly failed to recognise crucial women’s issues such as marital rape and human trafficking and contributed to the culture of sexual harassment; one of the most pressing problems for Egyptian women today.

    This article talks about the details of the women's rights movement since 1952. After the revolution in 2011, women's rights has yet to become a topic of importance.

    This article talks about where Morsi stands as of now in trial. Mohammad Morsi was Egypt's first democratically elected president. This article is interesting because it also gives the perspective of those that are on Mori's side.

    A court in Egypt has put Ex President Morsi on a death sentence for the murder and torture of many protestors, for Prison Break and espionage. Morsi was democratically elected but failed to solve any social or economic problems and was overthrown soon after.

    Assad is pointing the finger at Turkey and Saudi Arabia. He claims that Erdogan's forces are heavily involved in Syria, and that they are "crossing a red line." I will be curious to follow the relations between these two countries.

    women in Saudi Arabia know how to drive. They can vote, at least in local elections. And every Saudi citizen, men and women, may be about to see the end of generous, oil-driven subsidies that explain a lack of income taxes and utility costs so low as to be practically free.

ISIL politics youth austria Support Islamophobia

shared by jreyesc on 12 Oct 14 - No Cached
  • Polarisation of Austrian society has been partly nurtured by the anti-immigrant rhetoric of the right-wing Freedom Party, which won 20.5 percent in last year's parliamentary election.
  • Five street signs surrounding a Vienna mosque were plastered with inflammatory labels such as "Shariastreet" and "IS Recruitment" last week - one among a rising number of anti-Muslim incursions recently.
  • over a new wave of Islamophobia in the wake of a polarising public discourse over the growing number of young Austrians who have joined the ranks of the group calling itself Islamic State, also known as ISIL.  
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • More than 140 young Austrians are thought to have gone to Syria and Iraq to join ISIL, according to the Ministry of Interior, a number expected to rise as long as the conflict there continues. While this presents a small share of the 12,000 foreign fighters estimated to have been recruited by ISIL so far, Austria with its population of only 8.4 million tops European countries on a per-capita basis, including France and Germany with 700 and 500 fighters, respectively.
  • ncreased border controls for minors, laws forbidding the use of symbols associated with ISIL, as well as the withdrawal of Austrian citizenship for dual nationals.

    The article is about how many Austrian teens are running away to become ISIL fighters. A new way of Islamophobia is occurring in Austria.
