Euro on ‘Death Watch' After Investors Spurn German Bonds:

Investors began to fear the worst for the euro after unusually weak demand at an auction for bonds from Germany, the region's largest economy. One analyst went so far as to put the currency on a "death watch." Germany sold just 60 percent of the 6 billion euros in 10-year bunds it brought to auction, about the weakest demand seen for the country's debt in the currency's 16-year history, economists said. The rejection of debt from Europe's safe harbor marks a new stage for the crisis. "No bunds wanted equals no Euros wanted equals the Euro death watch," wrote Mark Steele, an analyst with BMO Capital Markets. "We have seen many poor German auctions. This is not the issue. The issue is how badly the euro is doing after the weak auction."

Day by day, the elite of Europe are facing the wrath of their people, and watching their economic and political systems unravel. It is only a matter of time now, before Europe return to the politics of pre-1945. Europe is heading towards what it does best, fighting each other on the continent on a new waves of nationalism and bigotry to everything that is foreign, which includes the destruction of fellow Europeans.

US and Arab states set to impose no fly zone over Syria:

Reports out of Kuwait suggest that Arab states are set to impose a no fly zone over Syria with US logistical support, advancing the prospect of a military assault to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad under a "humanitarian" pretext. "Senior European sources said that Arab jet fighters, and possibly Turkish warplanes, backed by American logistic support will implement a no fly zone in Syria's skies, after the Arab League will issue a decision, under its Charter, calling for the protection of Syrian civilians," reports Albawaba, citing Kuwait's al Rai daily. YNet news, the website for Israel's most widely read newspaper, also carried the report. As part of a plan to cripple the country's military forces within 24 hours, the "movement of Syrian military vehicles, including tanks, personnel carriers and artillery," would all be banned under the terms of the no fly zone. Syrian opposition forces have repeatedly called for a no fly zone to be enforced over the country, but last month NATO all but ruled out the prospect. Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry has also called on the Obama administration to impose a no fly zone without waiting for a green light from the United Nations.

Why is it that Islamic countries are responding to the beckon call of the West once more and cooperating in sin? Allah (swt) says in the Quran: "Help not one another unto sin and transgression, but keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is severe in punishment."[TMQ: Al Maida: 2]. The correct solutions is for the Muslim armies to intervene in Syria and stop the bloodshed. But this can only happen if they are sincere to the ummah and Islam and not to the rulers who command them.

Bush, Blair found guilty of war crimes:

A War Crimes Tribunal in Malaysia has found former US President George W. Bush and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair guilty of war crimes for their roles in the Iraq war, Press TV reports. The five-panel Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal decided that Bush and Blair committed genocide and crimes against humanity by leading the invasion of Iraq in 2003, a Press TV correspondent reported on Tuesday. In 2003, the US and Britain invaded Iraq in blatant violation of international law and under the pretext of finding weapons of mass destruction allegedly stockpiled by former Western agent Saddam Hussein. The Malaysian tribunal judges ruled that the decision to wage war against Iraq by the two former heads of government was a flagrant abuse of law and an act of aggression that led to large-scale massacres of the Iraqi people. Bombings and other forms of violence became commonplace in Iraq shortly after the US-led invasion of the country. In their ruling, the tribunal judges also stated that the US, under the leadership of Bush, fabricated documents to make it appear that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. However, the world later learned that the former Iraqi regime did not possess WMDs and that the US and British leaders knew this all along. Over one million Iraqis were slaughtered during the invasion, according to the California-based investigative organization Project Censored. The judges also said the court findings should be provided to signatories to the Rome Statute, which established the International Criminal Court, and added that the names of Bush and Blair should be listed on a war crimes register.

The only way to bring the crusading savages to justice is not through mock trials, but rather through the establishment of the rightly guided Islamic State. This can only be achieved by the Muslim world seeking to liberate itself from the shackles of Western colonialism and giving baiya to a just ruler who will implement Islam and hold enemies of the ummah to account.

Republican candidates vilify Pakistan:

The Republican presidential hopefuls criticised US policy towards Pakistan in a lively and substantive foreign policy debate on Tuesday. In the debate the Republicans ganged up on Pakistan and questioned whether the US could trust it. Texas Governor Rick Perry called Pakistan unworthy of US aid because it had not done enough to help fight al Qaeda. "To write a check to countries that are clearly not representing American interests is nonsensical," said Perry. Representative Michele Bachmann, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, called Perry "highly naive" and said the United States should demand more from a "violent and unstable" Pakistan with nuclear weapons. She called it "a nation that lies, that does everything possible that you could imagine wrong. At the same time they do share intelligence data with us regarding al Qaeda." Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney said US aid to Islamabad could help "bring Pakistan into the 21st century, or the 20th century for that matter." The extensive criticism of Pakistan featured "nasty and provocative language," said Teresita Schaffer, a non-resident fellow at the Brookings Institution, but she said a Republican president probably would not change Pakistan policy much.

These are the same people that the elite of Pakistan falls over each other to impress and covets their attention. Allah says in the Quran: "O you who believe, take not for intimate friends others than your own people: they spare no pains to cause you loss. They love that which distresses you. Vehement hatred has already appeared from out of their mouths, and that which their hearts conceal is greater still. Indeed We have made the messages clear to you, if you understand." [TMQ: Al Imran:118]
