SHAFAQNA – For over a year now, Yemen has suffered under the fire unleashed by Theocratic Saudi Arabia. Since March 25, 2015, Yemen – the most impoverished nation of Southern Arabia, and arguably the world, has withstood the military assault of a grand coalition of countries, so that Riyadh could finally claim absolute control over the region.
A grand hegemon, the kingdom does not suffer contention to its rule.
SHAFAQNA- As a young Muslim woman living in Canada, it’s a phrase all too familiar to me. I feel pressured by everyone around me to regularly apologize for the horrific acts committed by extremists all around the world. I fear my religion will always be used to explain my behavior. I have to constantly smile and be happy because I don’t want to come off as rude or angry; I must remember to go out of my way to show the world that Muslims are not bad people, that we are not terrorists.
