Hirsi Ali on Holocaust denial

noreply@blogger.com (DD) — Wed, 20 Dec 2006 08:37:00 +0000

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.

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

noreply@blogger.com (DD) — Fri, 23 Dec 2005 14:29:00 +0000

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?

noreply@blogger.com (DD) — Tue, 19 Jul 2005 21:10:00 +0000

"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

noreply@blogger.com (DD) — Mon, 18 Jul 2005 12:15:00 +0000

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."

After the first chock, evertbody is silent. Then comes the outcry, them comes the webite www.werenotafraid.com.

Werenotafraid.com exists to give people a voice online to tell the world that they are not afraid, intimidated or cowed by the cowardly act of terrorism. Terrorism will not be effective against the British people, and it won�t be effective anywhere else.

By saying we are not afraid, we are really saying that although we have lost people, friends, fathers, mothers sisters, we will not become afraid to live as we see fit, to make our own moral judgements, to live good lives, and love each other.

Dutch MP plans new Islam film

noreply@blogger.com (DD) — Sun, 19 Jun 2005 16:32:00 +0000

BBC NEWS | "Dutch politician Ayaan Hirsi Ali has told the BBC she intends to make a follow-up to the Theo van Gogh film Submissions Part One, which resulted in the director being killed, allegedly by a radical Muslim.

Van Gogh was murdered in November 2004, allegedly by Dutch-Moroccan Mohammed Bouyeri. Van Gogh had his throat cut and was shot several times.

A letter was then pinned to his chest with a knife. The letter threatened Ms Ali, who had scripted the film.

'Deciding not to make Part Two after Theo van Gogh's murder would be, I think, really wrong,' Ms Ali told BBC World Service's The Interview programme."

"On both sides of the Atlantic, the political class has become convinced that the people do not know what is best for them.
by Frank Furedi

At first sight, opponents of the EU Constitution appear to have very little in common. In France, campaigners for 'Non' often sought to defend their system of welfare arrangements against an institution that they believe has come under Anglo-Saxon neo-liberal domination. British eurosceptics oppose the bureaucratic and regulatory ambitions of Brussels. In Holland, some 'Nee' campaigners feared the loss of their national identity and the entry of Turkey into the EU. Others used the referendum to simply have a pop at their political representatives."
