Islam Times - Revolution: An activity or movement designed to effect fundamental changes in the socio-economic and political situation – Merriam Webster... By Tahira Ansari
As seventy-five mile an hour winds and rain swept across Washington D.C. knocking down trees and anything that got in its way, it was easy to see that these were not the only winds that were changing the landscape. Meanwhile in Madison, Wisconsin voters and democratic state representatives banded together to protest the political landscape. Republican Governor Scott Walker had just proposed a bill that he presented as budget cuts that were necessary in response to hard economic times. But workers quickly saw through his rhetoric and discovered that in fact he was trying to take away government employees right to use collective bargaining on issues that affect their wages, health care and pensions. In support of the workers, the democratic state representatives, who are outnumbered by the Republican majority, quickly jumped on the band wagon, and physically left the state because they knew that legally there could not be a vote on the issue until they returned.

Conference Examining Whereabouts of Imam Musa Sadr Islam Times – The Amal Movement in Lebanon will hold a conference examining the whereabouts of Imam Musa Sadr, the founder of this movement, in Beirut. | |
Islam Times reports that a conference examining the whereabouts of Imam Musa Sadr, the founder of the Amal Movement in Lebanon and a resistance fighter against Israel, will be held today in the afternoon. The purpose of this conference is to gather the latest information about the whereabouts of Imam Musa Sadr and compare them. Sayyid Sadr al-Din Sadr, Imam Musa Sadr's son, announced that his father and his father's companions are still alive and being held in Libyan prisons. Imam Musa Sadr entered Libya on the 5th of August, 1978 along with Shaykh Muhammad Ya'qub and 'Abbas Badr al-Din. He was supposed to have a meeting with Qaddafi on the 29th or 30th of the month. But, they disappeared the following day. Libyan officials claim that Gaddafi cancelled the meeting. Tripoli claims that he left Libya on an airplane headed for Italy. But the Italian government rejects the notion that he entered their country. The Shia of Lebanon believe that Libya kidnapped him for political reasons. Some reports state that Libya transferred Imam Musa Sadr outside of Libya during the heat of the current protests. © Islam Times

| Forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi struggle to regain control of strategic cities amid growing humanitarian concerns. Last Modified: 01 Mar 2011 11:44 GMT |
Government opponents in the Libyan city of Az Zawiyah have repulsed an attempt by forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi to retake the city closest to the capital, Tripoli, in six hours of fighting overnight, witnesses say. Tursday's claims follow reports that government forces attacked the city from the west and the east, and that fighter jets bombed an ammunition depot in the eastern city of Ajdabiya. There was no word on casualties in Az Zawiyah, which is 50km west of Tripoli. "We will not give up Az Zawiyah at any price,'' one witness said on Tuesday. "We know it is significant strategically. They will fight to get it, but we will not give up. We managed to defeat them because our spirits are high and their spirits are zero." The rebels, who include army forces who defected from the government, are armed with tanks, machine guns and anti-aircraft guns. They fought back pro-Gaddafi troops using the same weapons who attacked from six directions.
