While all other minorities raise their ethnic flags the Assyrian flag is absent from Iraqi towns and villages. The general population feels that the Americans are there today and will leave few months from now and if they raise their flag the Moslems will turn against them later. Assyrian families received letters ordering them to abide by the rules of Islam, such as wearing the veil, or face harsh consequences like rape and murder among other things. Assyrians of Iraq have almost completely forgotten how to believe and pray. Assyrians have been, for all practical purposes, culturally Islamized.They have forgotten their savior Jesus Christ. read full story / add a comment

The Islamic holy book, the Koran, is to be translated into Irish. Ms Leslie Carter, of the Islamic Cultural Centre, in Clonskeagh, Dublin, said yesterday the project was at an early stage but would "definitely happen". There were Irish speakers among the Muslim community here who wanted an Irish-language version of the Koran, she said. "We think it's very important to bring the Irish language more into everyday life. There's a lot in common between the Irish and the Islamic way of looking at life." read full story / add a comment

A new report is out, today, which links pesticides and human health/sperm count. USA Today claims that this is the first time a link has been made. It isn't the first time, actually ,there are a pletora of pieces of research done on problems with pesticides. I could link to USA Today, but instead ,check http://www.panna.org , and the story is on the homepage. In particular, for one of many other, older, pieces of research on the dangers of pesticides, check out this piece of research: read full story / add a comment

This report is from the sister picket of the Global Women's Strike Anti-war/occupation picket, Galway, opposite the Houses of Parliament in London. A lively press conference in the House of Commons on 17 June defended protesters' right to be seen and heard in Parliament Square. Many who packed the room have supported Brian Haw's two-year, 24-hour protest against the genocide of Iraqi children, or have come for the open microphone at the community anti-war picket organised by the Global Women's Strike. The protests are now under threat through legislation, and from roving anti-protest police units..... read full story / add a comment

The text of Sinn Féin's submission on property rights to the All Party Oireachtas Committee on the Constitution.

A tool of oppression, it has been used by the landlord against the tenant, monarch against subject, man against woman.

George Bush may have declared major combat operations over in Iraq on May 1st but resistance to the US occupation forces goes on. The killing today of one more US soldier at a petrol station in Baghdad means 42 have been killed in combat since that date, almost one per day. And every week US soldiers coming to and from Iraq continue to fly through Shannon airport. read full story / add a comment |
