During the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, Muslims fast, pray, engage in acts of piety and charity, and reminisce over warfare and bloodshed in the name of Islam.
Virtually every Ramadan features various Islamic authorities, personages, and/or institutes reminding Muslims to take pride in and celebrate various historic battles between Muslims and non-Muslims, or “infidels”. Among other things, such victories are meant to demonstrate the power, and thus truth, of Islam.

Once upon a time there were 3 little pigs.
One was named Squeaky, one was named Boss Hog and one was named " Voter. "
Of all the pigs, Voter " was the most powerful pig - only he didn't realize it.

Most people in Australia know what a feral pig is. They are a major pest and they pose an enormous threat to our agricultural industry because they destroy crops and pasture and they spread weeds and disease. They prey on our livestock.
We have a feral pig outbreak unlike any other in the history of our great Nation. Because they are in our cities and urban environments and they are somehow able to do their damage by remote control while safely gobbling at a trough in Canberra and our State capital cities.
But, for one day only, there is a chance to cull the herd and it is the 21st of May.

There really is an all-out war on our children (or, if you’re older, your grandchildren or even great-grandchildren).
We can hardly overstate it and we dare not ignore it.
This is what is happening to the next generation today.

“Ukraine will order and Germany will pay for” German-produced hardware, Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht has said.
When it comes to media reporting today, the saying, “Don’t trust, verify” has never been more relevant.
Quite literally, you simply cannot trust what you read or even see without digging deeper and verifying.
All the more does this seem to be the case when it comes to Donald Trump, who is on the front pages again after his interview with Piers Morgan.

When was the last time a Western athlete was banned because their country started a war?
One of the unspoken rules of human affairs is that ordinary citizens should never be personally harassed for the political actions of their leaders. That truism has never been properly observed enough, and went completely out of the window when Russia began its military operation in Ukraine.
This week, Serbian tennis sensation Novak Djokovic delivered a powerful rebuke to Wimbledon’s decision to bar the participation of Russian players from the famous grass tournament.
