The lifting of U.S. sanctions on Syria is wonderful news. It's also refreshing to hear a U.S. President affirm that Middle East's future lies not in "Western interventionists," and their endless wars, but in its own peoples building their nations, at peace with their traditions.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES: Trump takes a blow torch to the neocons and interventionists while speaking to the Saudis. This is a VICTORY speech over globalism.

Wonderful news: The PKK, at war with Turkey since 1984, says farewell to arms. This is a blessing for Turks, Kurds, Turkey, Syria, and the whole region. It also offers a broader lesson for all: The safest way to end terrorism is through political solutions, not endless wars.

Muslims don’t need blasphemy laws, as said at the @EquianoProject event in London:

The Equiano Project @EquianoProject

"It doesn't say go and kill them. It doesn't say go and silence them." @AkyolinEnglish talks about free speech in Islam and challenges the idea that Islamic tradition inherently demands harsh responses to perceived blasphemy. https://t.co/GcQj43ScAP

Pope Leo XIV seems to be a good man — and he's absolutely right in everything he said here on day one:

Vatican News @VaticanNews

Pope Leo XIV appeals for peace in Gaza and Ukraine, and between India and Pakistan. "I carry in my heart the sufferings of the beloved Ukrainian people. Let everything possible be done to achieve an authentic, just and lasting peace as soon as possible. May all the prisoners be https://t.co/lLP2vV8CPe

In the recent India-Pakistan crisis, the Ahmadi minority stood firmly by their homeland, despite the discrimination they have long endured in 🇵🇰. I hope this inspires more Pakistanis to better embrace all minorities — and to see that pluralism is both a virtue and a strength.

Mona Farooq Ahmad @MonaChaudhryy

Despite all the wounds I carry as an Ahmadi, I cannot unlove the land that raised me. Pakistan isn’t just my birthplace—it’s the rhythm my heartbeat beats to, its people and soil forever mine in love and loyalty. May Allah shield every inch of it and every soul within it 🙏

And it is wonderful to see the news this morning of a “full and immediate ceasefire” between Pakistan and India. We desperately need such good news — and a path to peace — in the Middle East as well.

Tonight, I will be praying for the safety of all people in the Subcontinent — in both Pakistan and India — and for an immediate de-escalation between the two countries. As Gandhi wisely said, “An eye for an eye" will leave us all blind. Let's instead be voices for peace.🇵🇰🇮🇳🕊️
