Canadians pack Nathan Philip Square in Toronto to express solidarity with the oppressed people of Kashmir Sunday August 18 (Toronto) – thousands of Canadians packed Toronto’s iconic Nathan Philip Square in Toronto to raise their voices in support of the oppressed people of Kashmir. Organized by Friends of Kashmir Canada, people from all walks of life and belonging to all faiths attended. They included Muslims, Christians, Sikhs and people of other faiths. Young and old, children as well as people in wheelchairs were there to lend support to their Kashmiri brothers and sisters. At its peak the crowd was so large that it could not be accommodated in the square so people had to climb to the overhead walkway to watch the rally below. The rally was held to coincide with India’s independence day celebrations paid for the Indian Consulate in Toronto where an India Food Festival was also held. Realizing the size of the rally in support of the people of Kashmir, Indian consulate staff maintained a low profile and cancelled a number of events including a formal opening ceremony, settling for music blaring from their loudspeakers. The several dozen vendors peddling greasy Indian food were also subdued, preferring to adopt a low profile aware that the rally participants were highly charged although organizers repeatedly reminded people to ignore Indian vendors peddling their wares. Speakers were not just from the Kashmiri or Pakistani communities but also included such well-known Canadian society figures as Sid Ryan, former President Ontario Federation of Labor, Journalist Phil Taylor of the famous Taylor Report, Peace Activist Ken Stone, Karen Rodman of Just Peace Advocates and Human Rights Lawyer, Stephen Ellis. Framing it in the context of International law and based on UN Security Council resolutions, speakers repeatedly called upon the Canadian government to take a more forthright stand on the long-festering problem of Kashmir. Several speakers also highlighted the fact that with federal elections due in October, the question of Kashmir should be made a part of the election campaign. Rally participants were told that when candidates come knocking at your door seeking your vote, ask them about their stand on Kashmir. “If they don’t support the Kashmiris’ right to self-determination, tell them they will not have your vote,” said Zafar Bangash, Convener of the Friends of Kashmir Canada and one of the principal organizers of the rally. Ken Stone reminded rally participants that it was a retired Canadian general, Andrew MacNaughton who was instrumental in formulating the earlier Security Council resolutions. “Canada, therefore, has a moral and legal responsibility to fulfill its obligations in implementing the resolutions that it drafted.” Sid Ryan, the former Labor leader and now an accomplished author, called upon people to unite for justice and peace causes whether these relate to Kashmir or Palestine. Human Rights Lawyer Stephen Ellis said Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi should be investigated for war crimes, a sentiment echoed by another lawyer, Jatinder Singh, who is with the group, Sikhs for Justice. A number of young Kashmiri students among them Salma Khawaja, Khaoula Siddiqi, Shaheen Siddiqui, Ayesha Malik (not her real name because her parents are still in Srinagar and she managed to get out of there with the help of the Canadian High Commission staff in Delhi) and Mueen Hakak also spoke narrating passionate accounts of the suffering of the Kashmir people. There were also a number of speakers from the Sikh community that came to express solidarity with the people of Kashmir. Rally organizers vowed that the struggle for the rights of the Kashmiris will continue until they achieve their legitimate aspirations to hold a referendum as contained in a number of UN Security Council resolutions.

Important points of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah Speech 14-08-2020 Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: The Resistance in Lebanon is not a complementary element to existence, it is the one crucial element of our existence and protection. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: I will speak about the new peace treaty between the UAE and israel. There has also been talk of links israel has had to the explosion in Lebanon. I will tackle this then speak on domestic issues in Lebanon. Sayyed #Nasrallah: The Zionists targeted a Hezbollah personality in Syria, martyr, Ali Kamal Mohsen. This is part of our \"punishment\" for aiding in Syria. This has left them waiting on the border on a leg and a half. I tell them to keep waiting. Our strategy has not changed. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: What the UAE has done is considered an election promotion for Trump and Netanyahu. Those 2 are losing their popularity. Netanyahu awaits his lawsuit on corruption... Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: We should not be surprised if more countries sign such treaties. Trump will milk those countries of their honor and dignity for the sake of his troubled friend, Netanyahu, the same way he milked them of their money before. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: Those countries will do anything to please America, and America says, \"Please israel and we are satisfied.\" Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: This act is strongly condemned. It is a betrayal to Islam and Arabism. But I tell the Palestinians and the people of the Resistance not to feel distraught, for those hypocrites need to be exposed. \"Lest you hate a thing when it is good for you.\" Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: There were several theories on the causes of the Beirut explosion. One being that it was a planned attack, and the other being that it was a result of negligence and irresponsibility. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: Many theories were raised, but the mere fact of leaving fireworks and other flammable material in this manner is negligence, but also a crime! Sayyed #Nasrallah: Many were quick to blame Hezbollah and accuse us of knowing that israel was planning this. They claimed that we knew and that we would not respond had this been an attack. Hezbollah would not leave an attack on a single person, let alone an attack this enormous Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: If israel really was behind this incident, then the participation of the FBI in the investigations will be for the sake of covering up any evidence against israel. We are Lebanese too, and we do not trust the FBI. The Lebanese people need answers. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: If this was a planned attack, whoever planned it was not betting on the attack itself, but on its outcome. There was a huge campaign aiming to overthrow the entire system. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: At the time the Lebanese people needed every bit of help they could get, the media immediately took advantage of the situation to feed their agendas, push for a civil war, overthrow the presidency, parliament, and entire system. Sayyed #Nasrallah: There were certain political groups in Lebanon, serving foreign agendas, who working hard on igniting strife. They cannot expect someone with a history like president Aoun, who did not surrender before threats of getting his house bombed, to simply surrender now. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: I have to thank PM Hassan Diab and every minister in his council who agreed on taking on the responsibility despite all the odds and remaining firm despite all the obstacles. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: The coming government should be supported by all political parties. Its priorities should be reform, rebuilding after the port explosion, electricity, environment, public schools, the economic crisis... Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: The government should insist on the investigations in the port explosion. This government cannot be a neutral one. All of us understand the reality of the Lebanese society. We do not believe in the existence of a neutral individual in Lebanon. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: Anyone calling for a neutral government is only trying to waste time. We all know what works and doesn\'t work in the country. Anyways, I am only putting this out there for the people to know. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: Those (members of parliament) who resigned during those difficult times dared to throw accusations at the ones who chose to still carry their responsibilities. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: If you want to abandon your responsibilities, quit politics. You cannot weasel out now and abandon your responsibilities when it is your policies that led the country to its current situation. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: There was a huge campaign targeted at the people of the Resistance. I tell you all to remain patient. Remain furious, but remain patient, for we might need this rage one day. Sayyed #Nasrallah: On the 18th, the ICJ will issue its judgment (on the Rafiq Hariri assassination case). We do not acknowledge this court & if they were to blame any of our personnel, we will back them up because we insist of their innocence. We need to remain patient at those times. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: At the end, I want to stress on the importance of abiding by all the necessary measures and instructions that have to do with the coronavirus. The situation is getting worse and our hospitals cannot withstand the pressure. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah: We never know what might happen in the future or what new events might occur in the Zionist entity. Some would claim that Hezbollah is worried or perplexed. We are calm, collected, and certain of everything. Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah speaking of the nature of the Ashura commemoration, avoiding gatherings, and ensuring social distancing. End

The Leader of the Muslim Ummah, Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei invites us all to realize that changing a politician\'s face won\'t make a change to anything. The SYSTEM is the real issue. The policy of the camp of Resistance will stay consistent and based on Islamic principles. It doesn’t matter who gets voted in and elected. It won\'t effect us. The entire arrogance based system is the issue. The entire ruthless and oppressive system is the issue. The entire hegemonic system based on materialism is the issue. This system of arrogance is approaching its demise - especially in three areas, namely, political, civic, ethics. The fall of the empire is obvious. #Trump #Biden #Election #AmericanElections #MAGA #NotMyPresident #4MoreYears #vote #politics #news #usa #elections #democrat #biden #congress #donaldtrump #democrats #america #joebiden #covid #republican

Muslims globally have been outraged by the insults against the Holy Prophet (S) - but should we be protesting? Shaykh Muzaffer Hyder, Shaykh Ali Qomi and Sayyid Shahryar discuss whether it is appropriate to be protesting, what the Leader’s opinion is on this matter and how it is imperative that the Muslims remain UNITED for the cause of Islam and the Messenger of Allah (S). This is the second of a two-part discussion, the focus of which is Imam Khamenei’s speech on the auspicious occasion of the birth Anniversary of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S). The full speech is entitled: \\\"U.S. elections don’t affect Iran\\\'s policy toward the U.S.\\\" and can be found at khamenei.ir. #IPTalkShow #ImamKhamenei #TheLeader #CharlieHebdo #FreedomOfSpeech #Censorship #Paris #France #Holocaust #Nazis #Zionists #Pakistan #Islamophobic #ImranKhan #JeSuisCharlie #RasmusPaludan #BritishShiaism #Shia #Sunni #IPTalkShow #Islamic Pulse #ImamKhamenei #Khamenei #Trump #Biden #election #vote #politics #trump #news #usa #elections #democrat #biden #congress #donaldtrump #democrats #america #joebiden #covid #republican

- Humans are complex creatures, both physically and psychologically - God mentions knowledge as the second most precious blessing, however he also emphasizes our rebellious nature in Sura 96 - Our challenge is to control and channel that rebellious nature - Looking at the example of the drama that unfolded at Capitol Hill in Washington DC, following the incitement from US President Donald Trump - Ignorance or poverty were not the causes for this destruction and disturbance of the final verification of the presidential election which found Biden as the winner - Rather it was ego, and greed for power which pushed the President to urge his followers to riot - The way this rebellious crowd was able to gain access to the Capitol without much resistance shows the double standard when you compare with the firm attitude of the police against rallies for black lives matters. - In the Muslim world, we see some religious leaders who exploit the sentiments of their followers and create a hype against Shi‘a minorities in Pakistan in the name of honouring the ṣaḥābah - In Baluchistan province, 11 Shi‘a coal miners from the Hazara tribe were kidnapped from their campsite, taken to the mountains with their hands tied at their backs and then brutally killed - The inaction by the authorities is a deafening statement - Shi‘as have challenged the Salafi extremists to come and talk about the differences by using books and not bullets

Events/ Topics discussed today, 1- Building ourselves Spiritually and Materially. 2- West influenced representer of Islamic Republic. 3- Upcoming Iran Election.

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution points to the hypocrisy in the behavior of some Arab governments: \"Those who do not know the difference between a ballot box and a fruit box and their countries are being run tribally, are talking against the Iranian elections day and night, calling it undemocratic!\"

This is a beautiful Nasheed describing the choice of the Iranian people in the recent presidential elections. Despite the overwhelming propaganda by both domestic and international media outlets discouraging the Iranian people from coming out and voting, the people came out and voted with a 48.8% voter turnout. The Iranian people voted for the People\'s Religious Government. This is called مردم سالاری دینی in Farsi language. Hoping, both friends and foes enjoy to the fullest.

What is \"A Clear Indicator of America\'s Downfall\"? And why does it matter who the American people vote into power? What does the election of a certain kind of person say about the people that elect the said person? Finally, what is a clear sign of the downfall of a nation and a civilization? The Leader of the Muslim Ummah, Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei, answers and lets the whole world know about \"A Clear Indicator of America\'s Downfall\". It\'s time to bail ship for all those on board the American Titanic, because it\'s sinking faster than you can imagine.
