Javier Bardem on his "Free Palestine" remark at the #Oscars: "It's important to understand that you can be part of the movie-making community and also be a citizen who uses this huge speaker to denounce injustice."

Javier Bardem is wearing a patch protesting the war in Iran—“No a la Geurra,” it reads—that he said is the same patch he wore in 2003 to protest “the illegal war of Iraq.” “And here we are, 23 years after,” he said on the #Oscars red carpet, with another war “[led] by Trump and Netanyahu, and creating a lot of damage and innocent people being killed and bombed.” He also wore a pin with a drawing of Handala, a character created Palestinian newspaper cartoonist Naji al-Ali in 1969, a 10-year-old boy who cannot grow until he is allowed to return to his homeland. Ali was 10 years old when his own family was exiled from their home in Palestine in the Nakba of 1948. vanityfair.com/live/oscars-20…

"No to war...And Free #Palestine..." -Actor Javier Bardem at 2026 #Oscars

It's about time...

“We [British Muslims] now find ourselves in a space where I’ve got young children & I can’t confidently say their lives, in terms of living in society on an equal footing, [are] better than what I was growing up. That’s a really sad thing to see" theguardian.com/news/2026/mar/…

A new study found more than 25,000 anti‑Muslim posts on social media since the war with Iran began, signalling a surge in Islamophobic rhetoric in the US and raising concerns about growing online hostility toward Muslim communities. Al Jazeera's Nour Hegazy explains.

RAMADAN VIDEO: Comedian @BYoussef & I ask you to sponsor 2500 olive trees with your #zakat eligible & tax-deductible donation during last 10 days of #Ramadan at GiveOliveTrees.com

Today on International Women’s Day, we honor the strength, resilience, and leadership of women around the world. At Penny Appeal USA, supporting women means more than recognition and it means action. When a woman is supported, an entire family finds stability and hope.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.  Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace. I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution. Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

Indonesia and Malaysia are challenging an assumption that modernisation naturally leads to secularisation. Despite their economic progress, religiosity is intensifying, not weakening economist.com/asia/2026/02/2…
