These current issues need serious attention from all the world leaders. As a result of the decision made by President Obama to send additional troop to Afghanistan the world are going to witness increased aggression on the sides of Al-Qaeda and Taliban. The Al-Qaeda and Taliban are going to increased their aggression towards America and in the end America and the American people are going to loose greatly. America can win probably in open warfare but in my opinions, American can never win in guerilla warfare. America and the American people should learn their lessons from the Vietnam War. Did America win the war or American armies finally being force to leave the country and South Vietnam falls into the hands of North Vietnam. The so call great country of America lost the war to the small country like North Vietnam. If America does not learn their lessons, the same thing will happen to the war in Afghanistan. America will have to sacrifice many of their soldiers in the war.Al-Qaeda and Taliban are employing guerilla warfare, and they do not follow rules. These are guerillas and they are not armies, and they do not have any country. They do not abide to any laws and they only want to destroy America and the American people in whatever ways they think possible.

Syiah Muslims who are not accepting the second part of the Great Kalimah are non-Muslims, similar to the Jews and the Christians. In my opinion the Syiah Muslims who are reciting the same Great Kalimah as the Sunni Muslims are Muslims but are following the wrong path. Many practices of the Syiah Muslims are not following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw and similarly there are many practices of the Sunni Muslims are also not following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw. In my opinion, as compared to the Sunni Muslims, the Syiah Muslims are practicing more practices which are not the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw than the Sunni Muslims. When Muslims are not following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw then they become Muslims who are deviated from the correct path. In my opinion both the Syiah and the Sunni Muslims who are not practicing the Great Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad saw are deviated Muslims. Many peoples who are Muslims and there are also many among Muslims who do not know the difference between Syiah Muslims and Sunni Muslims. The war in Syria has opened up the eyes of many peoples in the world that Sunni Muslims are different from the Syiah Muslims. The war in Syria has awakened many Muslims about the truth of Syiah Muslims. The war has made the Syiah Muslims to side with President Bashar Al-Assad because President Bashar Al-Assad is a Syiah Alawis and not because President Bashar Al-Assad is on the side of truth.

I believe what happen in Syria now is a calamity to the Syrians and the whole world. The calamity has descended upon the peoples of Syria because of their own wrong actions. What are the wrong actions of the peoples of Syria? Muslims in Syria are of two groups which are known as the Sunni and the Syiah Muslims. What is the difference between the two groups of Muslims? In principle there should only be one group of Muslims in this world and Muslims should differ only in term of their taqwa to Allah. Many non-Muslims in the west are probably puzzled with the term Sunni and Syiah Muslims. Who is the Sunni Muslims? Sunni Muslims are the Muslims who believe that there is no God except Allah and Muhammad is Prophet of Allah. The Syiah Muslims also believe that there is no God except Allah and Muhammad is Prophet of Allah but Syiah Muslims did not regards some of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad saw such as Hazrat Abu Bakar and Hazrat Umar as the companions of Prophet Muhammad saw but the persons who had snatched the position of Imam from Hazrat Ali who was the members of Ahli bait (family members of Prophet Muhammad saw), whom to the Syiah Muslims, should become the first imam of the Muslims.

Suicidal bombing is a new phenomenon in Muslim communities. We have not heard in the past that Muslims are ready to kill themselves because they want to kill their enemies. We have heard about the Japanese soldiers who are ready to commit suicide in order to kill their enemies. Since the Japanese are not Muslims, we can understand why the Japanese commit suicides but we cannot understand why Muslims can commit suicide. Allah prohibits us from committing suicides and whoever commits suicides they will becomes infidel, and they will enter hellfire forever. Without the orders of Allah, we cannot take another person life or his own life. The work of taking life is the work of Allah and if anyone takes his own life without the order of Allah, he or she is taking over the work of Allah and is committing a great wrong. Suicidal bombing is against the order of Allah. Muslims who died because of suicidal bombing is not a martyr as they claimed to be but died as an infidel who will go to the hellfire.

No countries surrounding Israel are willing to accept her sovereignty as a nation. American and British did not consider the opinions of the surrounding countries when they created the nation of Israel many years ago. Because no countries around the region were willing to accept the birth of Israel, the existence of Israel from the day of its birth is full of miseries and turmoil. British and Americans should take the responsibilities for the mistake they have made by creating Israel without taking the opinions of the Muslims Arabs that live around Israel. United State of American and Great Britain are the two superpowers that created the nation of Israel in the wrong way. Since Israel began in the wrong way, peace and tranquility has never achieved by Israel since its birth as a nation.

War is a crime. War lead to devastation and miseries. War lead to hatred and criminal acts. Because of war, women are molested and children are made orphans and many children are born without clear lineage. War is not the way to solve problems. Men should resort to other ways other than war to solve their problems. When two countries have misunderstanding about their borders, they should not resolve the problems by having wars between them. Such problems should be brought to the International Court of Justice and whatever decided by the court should be accepted by both nations as final. When the Muslims in southern Thailand and Philippines claimed a separate country, the International Court of Justice should resolve the issues. Both the governments of Thailand and Philippines and the Muslims of their respective countries should put their views regarding the matter. Whatever decided by the court should be accepted by both sides and the wars that has been going on for so many years should stop immediately.
