President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday urged Nigerians to support the federal government in its effort to curtail the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, especially as it relates to vaccine education.The President made the appeal while receiving the leadership of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs led by its President-General and Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar.Nigeria is currently battling a second wave of the coronavirus pandemic as cases continue to be recorded across the country.The president said it is also critical for the religious bodies to lend their voices in support of those basic but fundamental protocols that can significantly curtail the spread of this disease.The President also warned against stoking ethnic and religious prejudices, according to a statement signed by spokesman Garba Shehu.
John Kiriakou, CIA torture whistleblower, author and co-host of Loud and Clear, explained just how badly the FBI messed up in accidentally releasing the identity of a Saudi official suspected of directing support to 9/11 hijackers. Mussaed Ahmed al-Jarrah supervised the work of Ministry of Islamic Affairs, a controversial ministry to start with. What Jarrah is described as having done could not have been done without the permission of his boss, the ambassador, and the ambassador’s boss, he said. Kiriakou blows up the idea that Riyadh and Washington are great buddies - this is purely a business relationship. He also notes that this release might not be the “mistake” it’s made out to be, and what role President Trump might have played in it.
Dr. Dave Ragland, senior Bayard Rustin fellow at the Fellowship of Reconciliation and co-founder of the Truth Telling Project, spoke with hosts Bob Schlehuber and Jamarl Thomas about the havoc COVID-19 is wreaking in America’s prisons, why this suffering is being ignored, and what processes our huge prison populations serve. Genocidal is not too strong a term for these rates of incarceration and this lack of care during the pandemic, he argues. The three break down the willful ignorance of American society at large, the history of experimentation on black people in the US and who else Washington, DC, decides doesn’t matter. Author and human rights and labor lawyer Dan Kovalik joined to discuss the travesty of the case against Michael Flynn and the tussle now over dropping the charges against him. He explained the barriers preventing international law from being used effectively to achieve justice, and, closer to home, how the US’ dysfunctional democracy rigs the political and economic systems against workers and the poor. Seventy percent of the US population wants Medicare for All, 70 percent of the population want to stay at home until COVID-19 is better under control. But the will of the people is completely ignored on Capitol Hill. The question now is, revolution or reform?John Kiriakou, CIA torture whistleblower and co-host of Loud and Clear, explained just how badly the FBI messed up in accidentally releasing the identity of a Saudi official suspected of directing support to 9/11 hijackers.

The fellows also tore into the Democrats’ new Heroes plan, how rising prices will affect consumers, and the murder of Breonna Taylor by Kentucky cops.

Egyptian-American, RAYMOND IBRAHIM, author, speaker, Islamic Affairs specialist speaks to Turkey's growing persecution of Christians and the destruction of literally thousands of churches or cathedrals which have held ancient Byzantine art, classical art forms of majestic mosaics and paintings, inside this Muslim-dominant country.

Topics covered on today's episode of Mind Set Daily "No Mars for Muslims?" Martian colonization is a risky proposition. So risky, in fact, that a group of Islamic leaders in the United Arab Emirates issued a religious ruling saying Muslims should not go to the Red Planet. The General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowment (GAIAE) ruling compares a Mars mission to suicide, and says that those who attempt it can expect the same consequences in the afterlife. In fact, GAIAE went so far as to claim that those seeking to escape God's judgment on Mars would be unable to do so, saying: "This is an absolutely baseless and unacceptable belief because not even an atom falls outside the purview of Allah, the Creator of everything." "Melting Snow Delivers Deadly Shocks" As winter's snow slowly melts, people may be happy to see that sidewalks are finally free of ice and slush. But those ice-free sidewalks and roadways may hold an even more dangerous threat: death by electrocution. Find out more by listening to this episode or by visiting the links.
