Eid Mubarak!
Today as we honor Prophet Ibrahim, Eid al-Adha reminds us that sacrifice is not a burden. It is an opportunity to see ourselves as part of something larger. To extend a hand to those who need it most.
I am honored to be New York City's first Muslim Mayor and I am determined to lead through solidarity. Together, we are working to ensure every New Yorker can afford the groceries, housing, and child care they need.
Our solidarity is our strength. Eid Saeed, New York.
The Pakistani military is forcing thousands of families to evacuate from Khyber District’s Tirah Valley ahead of a security operation it says will target Pakistani Taliban fighters who now control parts of the region. Al Jazeera’s Kamal Hyder reports.
A humanitarian catastrophe is currently unfolding in Tirah Valley of Pakhtunkhwa. Pashtuns there are forced to leave their houses and villages right in the middle of the winter. No assistance or shelter is offered by the authorities. The images speak for themselves and are nothing short of the atrocities in Gaza. Yet, nobody speaks up for these innocent people who are abandoned to the freezing cold on the difficult roads in the Valley.
Background: the Pakistani army let in the militants to appease them. Now they are supposedly in conflict. By announcing the military operations in advance, the militants will already have taken shelter elsewhere. So the only targets of these operations are innocent Pashtuns, either by direct violence from both sides or by homelessness, cold, hunger and diseases.

@MarkJCarney How about Israel? The perpetuation of systemic aggression and disregard for international norms renders the Israeli state apparatus a profound and escalating threat to geopolitical equilibrium and collective human security.
Modi is the twin devil of Netanyahu.
India under a fascist regime clearly wants to take advantage of a world that can’t stop even the most obvious genocide ever.
May Allah protect Pakistan, and the innocent people of the world at the mercy of small tyrants with big weapons.
