“Finally the right outcome is being performed”

“Saudi Arabia has instigated that 34 Islamic nations will all join together in a military alliance to fight terrorism”

“This joint operation will be established in Riyadh”

“It includes countries from Asia, Africa and the Arab world that are involved in the alliance”

“We have already been tweeting that Arab countries should do more to support each other against IS”

“This is now happening and it is so encouraging”

“The Islamic nations must fight these terrorists on their own”

“They must establish a precedent to do more to reel in those who fight against the sanctity of life with their extremists’ ways”

“It is these extremists that have severely cut at the heart of what Islam is all about”

“There must be an eking out of the radical clerics, who wish to incite power over their fellow Muslims”

“It is those clerics, who wish to destroy the peace and wellbeing of their fellow Muslims”

“This coalition would not just focus on fighting IS, but the many different aspects which come to undermine the safety of the many countries”

“It is them that would fall victim to these extreme ideologies”

“At this time every Muslim country is fighting terrorism individually, so this co-ordinating effort is very important”

“Saudi’s Defence Minister Mohammed bin Salman said that the new alliance would co-ordinate efforts”

“They will be against extremists in Iraq, Syria, Libya, Egypt and Afghanistan”

“It is also noted that Iraq and Syria are not in this coalition”

“In announcing the coalition, it is stated that Islam forbids “corruption and destruction in the world”

“It is terrorism, which represents a serious violation of human dignity & rights, especially the right to life and the right to security”

“This alliance of Islamic countries is now fundamentally important to the survival of all these nations”

“The list of the 34 members: Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Benin, Chad, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Gabon, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Jordan”

“Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Maldives, Mali, Morocco, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Palestinians, Qatar, Senegal”

“Everywhere in the world is under discussion and nowhere more importantly than in Saudi Arabia”

“Their objective is that all must be under their rule if the world is to feel safe and secure”

“The amount of leverage that the Saudi Kingdom wields is tremendous and far reaching”

“It has many squirming to see how they can actually continue to maintain such a power that seems to go on forever”

“The term ‘smart power’ refers to the strategy of combining hard and soft power resources to protect its national interests and security”

“This policy shows a need for a strong economy and military”

“It also shows that Saudi Arabia invests in alliances, partnerships and institutions at all levels”

“This way it can expand its influence and it legitimises its state actions”

“Saudi Arabia has a unique approach to vacillating between using hard or soft power”

“This is possible because it is one of the wealthiest nations in the world, the home of the Islamic religion & possessing vast oil reserves”

“It is due to these resources that Saudi Arabia has been able to advance its foreign policy interests in the form of smart power”

“Saudi Arabia is home to the holiest places in Islam, Mecca and Medina”

“The Kingdom has made significant use of Islam as soft power”

“This is how it maintains national security, regional leadership in the Middle East and the wider Islamic world”

“To Saudi Arabia, Islam is a source of political and moral values and is a key to its national identity”

“It is the power of its religion, which can be seen on a tour of Riyadh”

“Here its capital city shows the power of religion over the social life there”

“Saudi women dress conservatively and mosques dominate the skyline”

“This also allows for the population to consent to the Royal Family’s rule and the appreciation of Islamic Sharia Law”

“The combination of hard and soft power is at the very heart of Saudi Arabia’s politics”

“It captures the hearts and minds of Muslims around the world”

“Saudi Arabia funds organisations and will support Islamic causes worldwide – its reach stretches out everywhere”

“Their efforts towards the Muslim world comes from their feelings of Islamic solidarity”

“Its activities help maximise its influence over the Middle East”

“Saudi Arabia has used its mediator role in putting its weight into bringing about reconciliation between Qatar and Egypt”

“It has also helped Egypt granting Sisi’s government $5 billion together with an extra $130 billion, which will go for social benefits”

“This way Saudi Arabia appeases its own people”

“At the same time they give a helping hand to those who seek to defend their interests in these neighbouring countries”

“The Kingdom’s oil reserves are of true global importance, especially in the West”

“Its additional production of 2 million barrels a day in 2012 supported the world economy”

“Saudi Arabia has made significant use of its hard and soft power to achieve its goals”

“It is its smart power, which has borne fruit in the Arab and Muslim world. This is not so in the western world”

“Western Governments incline towards Saudi Arabia, but their citizens do not see the value of these positive relations”

“It is now that the break-up of Syria is being discussed and formulated”

“The great powers, as they see themselves, are in serious discussions behind the scenes to bring about a result”

“This does not include Bashar al-Assad and the Russian influence”

“Iran is already at the table making remonstrations”

“However it has already been decided by the western powers of their own strategy in these matters”

“A swift conclusion is necessary for all this to happen”

“The one fly in the ointment is of course IS, who have their own agenda”

“They will not stand for this carve-up of the Middle East when they have precisely the same objective”

“Watch a different demographic appear, where IS are spreading themselves out in other regions not yet conquered”

“This is on the radar nevertheless”

“It will be an expensive time for them, as they re-route their policies to meet up with their objectives”

“They are to rid the western powers of the Middle East & bring it back into a totalitarian state or caliphate, which is their objective form”

“IS will continue to look at other ways to rescue finance, so that their objective becomes long-lasting and permanent”

“They feel they cannot lose and that God is permanently with them in their ideology/objective”

“As we have repeatedly given, IS cannot be defeated militarily”

“It has to be their ideology that must be dissolved in order to bring stability to the Middle East”

“Conventional arms have no chance of succeeding and it is naïve to even think so”

“The lessons learnt from waging war on Afghanistan have still not been learnt and so it will be with IS”

“It is only the Muslin people themselves with their own clerics that must wash away this disruptive ideology”

“The right changes must occur from within”

“No western powers will ever win against so extreme an ideology”

“It has to be the Arab world, which sorts out their own problems”

“The greater powers of the world must allow them that right to do so”

“While the greater powers still see it as their rights to invade sovereign states, they will find their own folly”

“That folly will have far reaching consequences, which is already happening, as in Paris and the United States”

“The fight back and disruption has already occurred and more is to come until a back off is incurred”

“When will the greater powers finally realise they cannot continue in their colonial aspirations just because they see fit to do so?”

“When will they begin to wake up that they cannot any longer have control over the rest of the world?”

“They cannot fulfil their appetite of self-interest over and above what should be common decency and the Rule of Law”

“IS will continue to play havoc in Europe and the US in order to send out the message:”

“If you mess with us, we will mess with you”

“Again it must be stated, it is the Arab nations that must deal with their own vermin and no one else”

“This way respect by Arab nations will return for the West’s non-interference”

“Stability can only be achieved in this way”

“The western powers must learn from historical wars, if they are to have any respect in the world today!”

“The women are casting their votes for the very first time in Saudi Arabia”

“This is an unprecedented event, which will see many women taking up this golden opportunity to cast their vote as women in their own right”

“A total of 978 women have already registered as candidates alongside 5,938 men”

“The female candidates have to speak behind a partition during campaign appearances or be represented by a man”

“Like the proverbial crack in the dam for the water to be released, so this is the crack in the establishment, which cannot be plugged”

“These women will now be in a position to express their views and to finally appoint justice in ways not thought possible before”

“They can now express how they would wish their views to be represented”

“If there are male candidates, who are able to come up with the right solutions for women…”

“…then of course it will be prudent for women to vote for them”

“It is public opinion, which is now finally changing”

“The dominant religious leaders will soon see their power fading, as a more lenient position is found”

“It was King Abdullah, who is seen as the key architect of this evolution of women’s rights and is part of his legacy of reforms”

“Before he died, he appointed thirty women to the country’s top advisory positions”

“Hatoon al-Fassi, a woman who cast her vote early, stated that she has been pushing for this day to occur for more than a decade”

“Voting in other parts of the world has become common place for the world’s millions of women”

“It is in these Muslim countries, where women are seen as second class citizens and not as equals, which is so devastating towards women”

“Their human rights are ignored by the punishing regimes of men”

“When men stop being fearful of women & regard them as vital to society…”

“…then real changes will occur without men feeling threatened in any way”

“It is too complex and so at last common sense prevails”

“Lasting coordinated agreements will be produced and a better understanding of human rights will be forthcoming”

“Those that go to war will be seen as the aggressors and they will be chastised/isolated for their destructive ways”

“World isolation on a massive scale is all that it requires, which means food, water, economies & broken trust will see everything cut off”

“They will have no trade or enjoy comradeship with the world’s people until they conform to the higher social structure”

“They will be forced to respect the Rules of Law”

“All these policies will filter down to the common man”

“Every individual will know their place in world unity and become a citizen of peace and not one of destruction”

“War begets war and there is no end to it”

“All have their own vested interest. Nobody is prepared to negotiate a common settlement or ground”

“The time has come for a new world order, where diplomacy is the only strategy allowed and confrontation frowned upon at the highest level”

“The power game is already receding”

“Power on so many levels is drastically diminishing and there are no more winners in this game of violence and aggression”

“The world powers are losing their foothold in the world”

“They now see that their aggression will no longer be tolerated and that people’s opinions do matter”

“Many Governments will have to fall, the rules of engagement re-written”

“Corruption on many levels is being exposed to the people and is being shown up as no longer being acceptable”

“Drastic reforms to expose the culprits of corruption are being formed”

“She never had the chance to go to school in spite of her being very bright and intelligent”

“As a teenager she was married to a man she didn’t know”

“She became a young widow when her husband was killed in a road accident when she was six months pregnant”

“The condition Obstetric fistula is little known in Europe & the US where it has been virtually wiped out because of improved obstetric care”

“Around two million women around the world suffer from this devastating condition”

“Many of these women are from sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia”

“Pakistan has one of the worst maternal mortality rates in the region”

“Its public health care suffers from deep-rooted corruption and institutional inefficiencies”

“In 1995, Hsar and his younger brother Kree Kre were taken to a refugee camp by their grandparents”

“Everybody wanted to go to this camp, because of the opportunities they thought would happen”

“Hsar lived at the camp for nearly fifteen years and the camp was controlled by the Thai authorities, who were very strict”

“There was little food there and they were all told to stay in the camp. “It was like being in a cage,” Hsar said”

“There was a school in the camp, but no opportunity for further education or even to work there”

“The United Nations was trying to get the refugees out of the camps by finding countries who would accept them”

“Sometimes the refugees would find that there would be two or three countries who would accept them, so they would also apply to them”

“Hsar applied to the US, as that was the only country which would be willing to take him and his brother at the time”

“He was interviewed by the local government and when asked why he wanted to come to the US, he replied, “Because it is a free country”

“It was democratic and it would give him opportunities that he could not get in Myanmar”

“In the US everybody has the opportunity to study and to work”

“It was also very important that he felt safe, something he could never feel in that refugee camp”

“Hsar found work in a US meat packing plant. He had never seen people kill animals that much before”

“In 2011, a friend of his also from Myanmar was working as a coordinator at The Refugee Response in Cleveland, Ohio”

“The Refugee Response helps refugees by providing them with jobs & assistance.  It helps them to adjust to the new life & the new community”

“Oscar Pistorius legal team are seeing whether they’re able to lodge an appeal after a court ruling found the South African guilty of murder”

“The Supreme Court upgraded the 29 year old’s sentence to murder from culpable homicide”

“This is South Africa’s equivalent of manslaughter for which he received a five year sentence”

“No dates have been set for the verdict, if sentenced the Paralympian could be sent back to prison for at least 15 years”

“Pistorius was released from prison and placed under house arrest in October having spent one day less than a year behind bars”

“Pistorius had hoped to serve the rest of his sentence under house arrest on his uncle’s property in the wealthy suburb of Pretoria”

“It was stated he intended to kill Steenkamp and that she fled to the toilet during a row”

“Pistorius armed himself with a high calibre weapon and shot though a small toilet cubicle”

“It shows that he must have foreseen that the person might die”

“When a person puts four shots through a door, then the intention is to shoot someone”

“Especially as that person is not attacking Pistorius, this means it is murder”

“The Detective Hilton Botha is a 24 year old veteran police officer”

“He said it did not matter where Reeve was, she would not have stood a chance crouching behind the door”

“Women are killed by their husbands, their boyfriends or their same sex partners every eight hours in South Africa”

“Here “intimate femicide” is the country’s leading cause of violent deaths for women”

“This incident was intentional murder, as no burglar would have locked themselves in a bathroom cubicle”

“It really is time for justice to be seen to be served”

“Pistorius’s unlawful killing of Reeve Steenkamp must be given the full weight of the law”

“For the women of South Africa and around the world whose lives are taken and the perpetrator is given less than a year in prison”

“These changes will be so dramatic that they will be brought to heel”

“No power can sustain this Intelligence and so they will be all brought to their knees in time”

“This will create a new world order, the likes of which has never been seen before”

“Something with which millions of American young people suffer”

“It must be made clear that even though shooters are generally mentally ill”

“The mentally ill do not develop into shooters at a disproportionate level”

“The US has very lax gun laws”

“The National Rifle Association’s lobbies have very powerful ties with the Republican officials and Democrats from the country’s south”

“What is such a disgrace for the American people is that the NRA spends copious amounts of money to keep their politicians in line”

“His idea was to provide jobs for some and hygiene for millions, often for the first time”

“This event motivated a British woman called Amy Peake”

“She made it her mission in life to help those refugee women in camps to be able to deal with their monthly periods”

“Amy Peake had gone out to India on a fact finding mission to find out how these pads were made”

“This mission of hers came about while she was waiting in her doctor’s waiting room”

“She saw an image in a magazine that showed thousands of refugees queuing up for food in a bombed street in Damascus”

“In the foreground stood a woman and for a brief moment Amy associated herself with that woman”

“She asked, “What would happen if while queuing she got her period?”

“A remarkable coincidence happened when she got home. Her husband showed her a story”

“It was about Arunachalam Murugananthan, the India man who invented the machine to produce cheap and hygienic sanitary pads”

“Murugananthan realised that his wife and other Indian women used rags”

“Murugananthan didn’t want to sell the pads, he wanted women to make and sell their own”

“Then he would expand to others countries in the world, where sanitary pads are unavailable”

“Amy Peake said this machine should be in every refugee camp and she calls her project ‘Loving Humanity’”

“With some backing she got on a plane to Jordan, which is home to a million Syrian refugees”

“She met up with the volunteers at the largest camp Zaatari”

“Peake found that the organisers had no time for her plan, so she had to do it all herself”

“Amy Peake learnt how to use the machine, which takes fifteen minutes to process the sanitary pad”

“Amy compresses the wood pulp in the grinder; the fluffy material is shaped in a mould and wrapped in antibacterial fabric”

“It is placed under a UV light for thirty seconds to disinfect it and then it is ready for use”

“It really is that simple and Amy Peake could picture her own factory in the Zaatari camp”

“It is the simple things in life that women need as a necessity”

“It makes such an outstanding difference to their wellbeing as citizens in this world”

“It is the male ignorance that creates so much hardship towards women and this vital service should be their automatic human right!”

“Her unstinting care and devotion towards these inmates has awarded her much respect and a certain love towards another human being”

“All recognise her unique qualities and her life changing ways”

“May she long continue, as she has The Almighty on her side and her dedication is second to none!”

“The disgrace of the Lawn Tennis Association is not doing our young tennis players any favours”

“Andy Murray has accused the Lawn Tennis Association of failing to build on his success”

“This he did on the day after Great Britain won their first Davis Cup for 79 years”

“The Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) is a waste time, as they never get anything done!”

“Andy Murray states that he doesn’t know where the next generation of young tennis players are coming from after him”

“The LTA need to act now and positive changes need to be made to create the British tennis players for the future”

“The LTA don’t coach any players now! The sum of £25m has gone into junior programmes, which have not worked because there are no juniors”

“There are now no junior number ones or juniors competing for Grand Slams. It is just not happening”

“Team GB have handed over the Davis Cup trophy”

“They have also handed them the truth that the LTA are nothing but a waste of time, because nothing gets done!”

“The British Davis Cup team turned the spotlight from themselves onto the highly paid suits and strategists that do nothing”

“They just bask in their own glow of achievement earned by Smith and the intrepid team”

“It is these LTA strategists and highly paid suits, who do not deserve their positions as they waste the annual Wimbledon windfall”

“Andy Murray and Leon Smith both state that the status quo in British tennis is not good enough”

“The scarcity of British youngsters at the junior levels in major tournaments is an embarrassment to British tennis”

“Kyle Edmunds is 20 years old and he is based at Roehampton”

“He is the last player to come through the Lawn Tennis Association coaching system that has now been dismantled”

“He is critical that he does not have anyone to hit with at the lavish National Tennis Centre, which was opened in 2007 for £40m”

“Andy Murray went himself to Roehampton to knock up after the Chinese tournament only to find it was completely empty, not a soul in sight”

“All of Murray’s Olympic, US Open and Wimbledon titles have been achieved despite British tennis”

“He has done all this on his own back without any help from the British Tennis system”

“The LTA continue to fail its youngsters and is a sham operation and should be disbanded”

“It is Murray’s brilliance that strips the LTA of its familiar excuses”

“It compels them to come up with a system instead of tearing up previous plans to justify their huge salaries”

“It is time that new enforcement issues were issued to give young British tennis players a future in this magnificent sport”
