Hirsi Ali on Holocaust denial

he conference organised last week by the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a sign of a great problem: anti- semitism in the Arab/ Muslim world.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali recounts how she learned about the Holocaust and the the reaction of her sister when she tells her what she has learned took place:

With great conviction my half-sister cried: "It's a lie! Jews have a way of blinding people. They were not killed, gassed nor massacred. But I pray to Allah that one day all the Jews in the world will be destroyed."

This view is brainwashed into muslim minds all over the muslim world. A message of hatred that we must confront with facts and education.

Jihad video's: who are watching and to what effect?

AP YouTube Choice |

Videos of smiling suicide bombers and insurgent attacks have become as important a weapon as explosives in Al Qaeda's global jihad against the West. The jihadis have seized on the power of the internet and their message cannot be silenced. But who actually watches these videos and what effect are they having on young people in the Muslim world?

Interview: Paul Kennedy

Wie Paul Kennedy´s boek uit 1988 kent over de "imperial overstretch" moet dit interview van Pieter van Os in de Groene lezen.

Enige tijd geleden was Henry Kissinger in Der Spiegel nog vaag en impliciet over wat hij van president Bush vindt. Kennedy kent "Henry" als collega en bevestigt mijn vermoeden; EEN GEVAARLIJKE GELOVIGE. Een politicus/ staatsman dient de loop van de geschiedenis aan te voelen en aan de jaspanden aan te klampen. NIET te denken dat de loop van de geschiedenis te overtuigen is.

Gedachte na lezing van interview: In Europa en elders in de wereld zou nagedacht moeten worden over een wereld met een VS die zijn positie als hypermacht kwijt is. Hoe chaos te voorkomen?

Fake or Photo?

"Can you tell?

Fake or Foto? The Challenge...
Take a reality check...

Today we're presented with images in movies, on TV and in the press that are of such good quality we don't even think to consider whether the picture is of something that exists in reality or if it was generated by computer software. Of course, the right tools combined with the skills of computer graphics (CG) artists are central to the final result. The movie “Final Fantasy” can be considered as being at the high-end of the range of uses for CG imagery, but there are many more day-to-day examples that challenge our ability to tell what's taken from life and what's given from the mind."

Ministers reject Iraq terror link

BBC NEWS | "Senior Cabinet ministers have rejected a report's claims that supporting the invasion of Iraq put the UK more at risk from terrorist attack.

The Chatham House and Economic and Social Research Council paper says the Iraq war has boosted al-Qaeda.

UK involvement in operations against Osama Bin Laden's network has also raised the attack risk, it adds.

But Foreign Secretary Jack Straw and Defence Secretary John Reid said there had also been attacks before the war.

The report, which comes less than two weeks after the London Tube and bus bombings, said the UK's anti-terrorist efforts had been focused on Northern Ireland."
