offsite link Why the ?1 in 73 Muslims in Rotherham? Statistic Is Misleading Thu Jan 16, 2025 11:00 | Noah Carl
One figure that has been repeatedly cited in the grooming gangs debate is that 1 in 73 Muslim men in the town of Rotherham has been prosecuted for grooming gang offences. However, this figure is slightly misleading.

Keir Starmer wants Britain to be both an "AI superpower" and a "clean energy superpower". He can't have it both ways, says Ben Pile. AI is hugely energy intensive and inconsistent with the path Net Zero is leading us down.

How can future 9/11's be prevented?

category international | anti-war / imperialism | opinion/analysis author Thursday January 13, 2005 20:49author by Kevin Whelehan Report this post to the editors

Now that the American campaign in Afghanistan has failed what should the Americans do?

I deplore what has occured since 9/11/2001. Thousands upon thousands of people have been murdered by American bombardment of Afghanistan where the terrorists were based but the bombing has not affected the terrorists by an iota.
We must use peaceful methods. But how?

Islamic terrorists must be stopped from killing innocent Americans again but clearly military action was doomed to fail even if Bush did not divert the war to Iraq who never had anything to do with al-Qeada.
Al-Qeada espouse the worst sort of Islamic extremism and Ossama Bin Laden has vowed to continue to attack Western targets.
The bombing of Bali and Madrid show that Ireland will one day come under attack unless the US military is forced out of Shannon.
Clearly violence does not work.
What peaceful actions can be used against Islamic terrorism? I do not believe a pull out from Iraq and an Israeli pull out from Palestine will mean an end to Islamic terrorism as the Arabs are stoked up too much to care.
How can we peacefully prevent future 9/11's?
