Qatar sends 1,000 soldiers to fight Houthis in Yemen
Qatar has deployed around 1,000 soldiers to Yemen, as part of a Saudi Arabia-led coalition's fight against Houthi rebels.
According to a report from Al Jazeera Network, Qatar troops are heading to Yemen, backed by more than 200 armored vehicles and 30 Apache combat helicopters.

The troops are now reportedly heading to Yemen's Maareb province, to join the Saudi-led coalition already fighting in the area.
This move from the Qatari government came following the killing of 60 Gulf soldiers in a rebel missile attack on Friday.

acchabaccha: I think you're taking a very simplistic approah and apportioning blame to one side only.
Anyway, I agree that peace and stability is the key issue.
Mr Khan hats off

I 'am Also Agree your comment Mr Khan hats off
While Khan has pointed out the very sad part that Muslims are killing Muslims, very few take the time to ponder over the game behind all that is taking place. The war between Muslims results in the killing of each other, reduction in their population, destruction of their infrastructure, a push-back on their economy, a drain on their reserves let alone the breading of hatred. Who gains from this? It is the powers who want to sell their guns and grenades, bombs and bullets, mortars and missiles. The income from such sales oils the war machinery of these super powers and strengthens their economy. Just take the Iraq-Iran war for example. The world powers sold billions of dollars worth of weapons to both countries. With demand so high, even smaller countries such as Yugoslavia, Spain and Portugal entered the market to sell their stuff. That war itself cost both the countries an estimate of 500 billion dollars. There was an estimated loss of 200,000 lives on both side – all Muslims. Had this money been used for constructive purposes, it would have changed the destiny of poor Muslim countries. Then when a war comes to an end, it is these very same world powers and developed nations who take over the role of reconstruction and churn out money from big projects bringing in their manpower and material. They earn both ways.
The need of the hour is peace, which hardly anybody talks of. No concerted effort has been made in this direction even by the United Nations to bring the Houthis and Gulf nations to the table for talks. It is now for both sides to look into ways of finding a solution to this burning issue of how to stop this war and think on lines of peace. Countries such as Pakistan which has good relations with both Iran and the Gulf countries should play a prominent role in bringing both sides to the peace table. Otherwise, the internal divisions among Muslims would just allow non-state actors the opportunity to carry out with the dirty agenda, and that is clearly visible.
Mr. Khan...Well said...Hats off to you....
And back to the serious Topic
“Muslims Killing Muslims - The fight among Brothers ”
Prophet has forbidden a war between Muslims.
Muslims-who-fight-each-other-will-both-be-in-hell
Even carrying a weapon against another Muslim is Forbidden in Islam.
Fighting between Muslims is not Jihad. It is cowardice and an act due to Ignorance.
I remind all of you to a saying of our Prophet with warning that both the Killer Muslim and Killed Muslim will both be in hell for fighting each other with weapons.
(Ref: Bukhari - Volume 9, Book 88, Number 204)
Abu Bakra Narrates: I heard Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) saying, "If two Muslims meet each other with their weapons then the killer and the killed are are both bound for the (Hell) Fire." I said, "O Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) It is alright for the killer, but what about the killed one?" Prophet said, “Because the killed one intended to kill just as much as the killer."” [Bukhari & Muslim]
Dear Ajay and Shaiju
Do you know that the same person and his wife is mentioned in Holy books of Hindus, Muslims, Jews and Christians. Here its is …
He is called Brahma by Hindus, Muslims call him iBrahim, Jews and Christians call him aBraham . His wife is called SARA by Muslims, Christians and Jews and interestingly SARAswati by Hindus .
You can see these two words Brahm & SARA repeating in all of them.
All Mankind have a common origin..a same father and same mother. If people realize this people will love each other never fight each other.
Allah is not the God of Muslims only but Allah is the God of all people whether they are Hindus, Muslims, Jews and Christians. Monotheism is present in all their Holy scriptures.
We never existed before 100 years nor will exist after 100 years. If you consider that you sleep 8 hours a day, it is one third of the day and calculation for the whole life it will be one third of a person’s age. Hence there is no time to waste time in vain talks and disputes. Help the poor and do good to your parents and be thankful to God, He gave you free, the air you breathe, the water you drink, fruits and vegetables, most importantly your Life for free. Our life is a continuous exam until we meet God and it is when he will question you for your time, youth , money , actions etc . People reject God but can they escape Death? . Don’t forget you are nearing your death every second.
really wanted to comment here, but afraid of personal attack and misunderstanding.
ajay: read the article and then his comment in context, you dimwit...its muslims killing muslims...but your prejudice is evident so please move on, nothing to see here....loser...
ajaya he iz talking about the subject only dont misunderstand
oh ! Mr Ajay !!!...UR right .i agree wid u , but there is a different subject ...subject about Sunni ,Shia & Yemen ,Saudi also ..i hope u understand
golden words bade bhai ....hope everyone think like u . innocent people die!! Yes, they did volunteer to go into war but they still died!! I am sure the people in war are scared that any second they might die! War has a lot of violence and we need to solve things without war! We need to find Peace!!
Why only considering muslims Mr.Khan.? so others are not humans.?
I totally agree to Khan comments.
Do not fight ...But talk.................Please dont create another Syria/Iraq etc.
For a Muslim...this dunya is not even a part of a wing of a Mosqueito
Well said khan
Please we need to stop the fight among Brothers.
War is not the option...
All are Brothers ...whether Yemeni, Saudi, Qatari, Bahraini...
Please donot kill .
What happens is civillians are injured and even those who donot want to fight against the coalition begins to fight because their family members have been killed by coalition in accident.
Fear Allah...
Nobody have right to kill his Muslim Brother..
Whether he is Shia or Sunni..
He is your bother ...His Prophet is Muhammed and his God is Allah.
Scholars from Sunni and Shia should meet to find a solution...
By Allah, This was will bring disaster only...nothing Good.
