Lets take a listen. Youre tuned to press time now for the. The iranian president has called for unity among muslims sliding any divis in the muslim world as in line with enemys objectives. President told the 37th International Islamic unity conference in tehran that palestine remains the main issue of the islamic and raling point for muslims. He called for support palestinian resistance, taking a swipe and attempts to normalize relations with israel. Races said that those of attempts are being pushed by enemys puppets. The president noted that the us and israel a hybrid war on muslims, also by batting various crimes and insulting moves against muslim entities, he said however that muslims should Work Together and use of their potential to secure their place in emerging new world order. Now to discuss this, im inviting two guests to join me our studios, the director of the institute of contemporary islamic thought in qaddafi is coordinator of the foundation in south africa. In cape town, good to see you b gentlemen, now mr. Bangosh, lets have your comments on how urgent this muslim unity that irans president raisi is talking about and encouraging to see further is at this in time, and also lets also talk a little bit about the conspiracies and plots, and also we have number of you, sacriligious moves like the quran burnings thats happened several times in europe, whats going on . In the world and also as regards muslims and islamophobia thats underway. Well, muslim unity is a selfevident truth, there is an imperative need for muslims to unite in order to confront the many challenges that they face, and as president raisi pointed out very clearly and very eloquently in his address to the 37. Seventh muslim unity conference in tehran, that palestine remains the top most priority for the entire muslim um, and we can understand why, because palestine is occupied by the zionist invaders, they are held bent on desecrating not only the masjid alaqsa, but they have plans to destroy it, and so it is absolutely essential for muslims to unite in order to defend and liberate their first kibla and their third holiest site, at the same time we see this wave of. Islamophobia and hatred being perpetrated against the muslims, whether it relates to the repeated burnings of the quran or wild cartoons against the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam, and these are all meant to insult the muslims to humiliate them and to denigrate them, and this requires muslim unity to confront. When we see look around the world, there are countries that are united that have very little in common except their interests. If they can do so, why cant the muslims . There are almost 57 or 58 muslim countries in the world, if they want to be truly united, at least on one particular point and that is the issue of palestine and i think muslims can achieve lot more than what they have been able to do so far, and that would also undermine and demolish the plots of the enemies of islam to the muslims divided. Lets have also your comments regarding the enemys hybrid war and how to. Address that issue, we have one it, yes of course, i think at this time we see the failure of the west in eradicating islam, in defeating the muslim nations, like the Islamic Republic of warfare, invasions, military interventions, sanctions, political interventions, un resolutions, all kinds of other tactics to defeat the Islamic Republic of iran and those are aligned with the principles of al islam and the principles of liberation for the oppressed, we see that their warfare tactics has failed and therefore they have employed this latest tactic of the hybrid warfare, but of course within the Islamic Republic of iran they are thinking, within hisbull they are thinking tax, within various factions of the resistance the are think tanks, there are developing ways for us to counter the hybrid warfare, and like brother said, there is social media, there is various means which we are using, and of course, like before, the west is failing, islam is the pastest growing religion, more and more people in the global shift of consciousness are becoming aware of the reality of islam and for the necessity of liberating the oppressed and opposing western hegemony. For the contribution, Zafar Bangash and toruana, canada, abad in gaddafi in cape town, south africa. Thank you for watching this.

I call under the fact to a government to bring to justice and punish the terrorists who killed our daughters at educational centers.

In the us a Government Shutdown has been temporarily avoided, but it still doesnt reflect well on the countrys economy as a hole, strikers have gripped the country across various sectors, including most recently in the auto industry. This is while bankrupcies and poverty have also increased dramatically. Heres one. Twothirds being in the affirmative, the rules are suspended, the bill is passed and without objection the motion to reconsider is laid on the table, a Us Government shut down narrowly averted this extension was more of bandaid since theres a strong possibility that lawmakers will find themselves battling it out in 45 days when the deadline arrived. However, what things the Us Government spends its money on has been overlooked, which ironically should be the focus. Just take a look at these eyepopping figures. If there was a shutdown, soldiers would not get paid, and the ones on the bottom half of the social strata, especially ones getting government assistance and social services, would suffer. The government has averted down, but what about the wider us economy . News making headlines in the us are the audikers strike which has expanded for the First Time Ever to include the detroit 3. The union and the automakers remained far apart on key Economic Issues like pay. Were not out here to grab headlines. You know, this this isnt fun to us, were not out here just for the heck of it. Were out here because gm and the three companies screwed around for over seven weeks and didnt get into bargaining with us. Matter is that you got. Uaw the Automobile Industry back in 2008 and four, made lot of sacrifices, but the automakers did not reciprocate. Since 2013, they have raked in 250 billion in profits, thats 1. 7 million that they made off each worker. Meanwhile, these are their ceos salaries. Ford ceo, jim farley modus 21 millions per year. Stalant is carlos tavarez, 20. 5 million per year and general motor ceo mary barra, said she was extremely frustrated and disappointed by the strike, she makes 29 million per year, one automaker summed up perfectly, i think people all around the country here are just getting fed up with corporations not sharing or including them into the profit or acknowledging our hard work that we put into the company. The stats confirm that sentiment. Between 1979 and 20. 22, the inflation adjusted annual wages of the top 1 of workers rose by 145 , while the average annual wages of the bottom 90 rose by only 16 . Besides auto workers, hundred thousands of other us employees also walked off the jobs this year in industries of all types. This includes hollywood, starbucks and amazon as well as frontline workers like neers hotel staff pilots. In july, the Package Delivery company, ups narrowly avated the strike which would have been the largest in us history, workers keep fighting for similar rights, fair wages, increased safety and job security. In the us, while the number of strikes is relatively unchanged, the number of striking workers has beat prior years. Some 300. Workers have gone on strike so far in 2023, compared with 36,600 over the same period 2 years ago, job security should be a concern for americans bankrupties have sored to a 13year high. The workers on strike, like many other americans, complain that the wages have not kept up with inflation. The official inflation rate in the us for 2023, reported to be 3 with the pay increase to have been 5 outstripping inflation, but that doesnt match what the average american is facing when it comes to things like groceries, energy, transportation, travel and dining. Just take a look at these figures in this table, showing the types of inflation that americans faced in 2022, although inflation has decreased in 2023, it is not 5 that the Us Government has announced acrossboard. Perhaps that is why the u. S. Is experiencing increase in poverty, which in 2022 was 12. 4 , thats an increase of 4. 6 Percentage Points from 2021. And in terms of Food Assistance, another shocking figure. 41. 2 million americans, 12. 5 of the total Us Population received monthly snap benefits in the 2022 fiscal year. The us makes around 6. 3 trillion dollars in income, and believe it or not, spent half of that amounts on entitle programs, like Food Assistance and benefits. This does not sound like very healthy economy.
