Just as the cartoons simplified and obscured the reality of Muslim attitudes, the media coverage caricatured and simplified the debate. The real world was much less black and white then the media portrayal. Jllands-Posten was eventually revealed not to be a brave defier of censorship but a source of anti immigrant rhetoric, whose owner had campaigned for Muslims to be expelled from Denmark and who had, in 2003, refused to publish cartoons depicting Christ on the grounds that they were offensive! On the other side it emerged that hardline Danish imams had toured the cartoons around the Muslim world for months, and even added their own! read full story / add a comment

This American Life is an audio chronicle of the weird, the prosaic, the extraordinary, the beautiful and the disgusting in the massively diverse country called the United States of America. It is frequently an amazing show, containing memories of disturbing childhoods, hilarious miscapades and cunning hipster pranks. But no episode has reached the level of the 10th March 2006 episode "Habeas Schmabeas". read full story / add a comment

"Those who failed to have a loyalist march forced through the centre of Dublin at the end of February claimed a near-monopoly of suffering for themselves and ignored the sacrifices of the nationalist community over the past few decades," said Ruairí Ó Brádaigh, President of Republican Sinn Féin when he spoke at a 30th anniversary commemoration of the deaths of Fian James Francis McCaughey (13), Fian Patrick Bernard (13), Joseph Kelly (57) and Andrew Small (62) in Edendork Cemetery, Co Tyrone.

Ireland's first cannabis policy reform organisation, the Centre for Cannabis Policy Reform Ireland (CCPR) launched their website and campaign this week. The group, in close association with the Colorado-based Safer Alternative For Alternative Recreation (SAFER), who successfully campaigned to legalise the possession of less than an ounce of cannabis, aim to educate the public about the fact that cannabis is safer than alcohol, that prohibition is a failure, and that a system of regulation must be put in place. read full story / add a comment

The anti-immigrant Danish People’s Party, which has seen gains in popularity following the attacks of 11 September and the controversy about cartoons of Muhammad published last year, has lost 2.7% of voters' support in the course of the last month. This is one of the results from an opinion poll conducted by Catinét Research for the Danish news agency Ritzau between 13 and 17 March. The Danish People’s Party's member of parliament Louise Frevert is one of a number of Danish politicians who have played a key role in inflaming Muslim concerns with a comment on her website that “the Muslim menace ... can be compared with a tumour which we know will kill us, if we don’t find and annihilate it before it spreads.” Please read my translation from an original Danish article below. read full story / add a comment |
