The prosecution of a man for burning the Qur'an shows how Islamic blasphemy codes are becoming embedded in criminal law. Coming up with a legal definition of 'Islamophobia' will accelerate this process, says Sam Bidwell.

Everyone knows that an Iraqi journalist threw his shoes at GW Bush in Bagdhad in December 2008. It's a story which got its global media coverage with predictable attitudes and spin & could easily be forgotten, were it not for a few factoids & considerations as well as precedents. Which I'd like to share with people here without going into too much pseudo-analytic expertise.

It's all about how shoe tossing was immediately explained to "us" as having resonance with muslims in general and Iraqi's in particular. read full story / add a comment

Ógra Shinn Féin got active across Ireland in the past weekend to demand the immediate release of IRA Prisoners of War, some of whom qualify under the terms of the GFA for release and all because the leadership of Óglaidh na hÉireann formally called an end to their armed campaign over 3 years ago.

"Today (Friday), the assembly of the occupied Athens Polytechnic decided to make a callout for European and global-wide actions of resistance in the memory of all assassinated youth, migrants and all those who were struggling against the lackeys of the state. Carlo Juliani; the French suburb youths; Alexandros Grigoropoulos and the countless others, all around the world. Our lives do not belong to the states and their assassins! The memory of the assassinated brothers and sisters, friends and comrades stays alive through our struggles! We do not forget our brothers and sisters, we do not forgive their murderers. Please translate and spread around this message for a common day of coordinated actions of resistance in as many places around the world as possible.

On Friday 5th December 2008, Ministers Eamon Ryan and Eamon O'Cuiv hosted a 'Forum' at the Broadhaven Bay Hotel, Belmullet, Erris, Co Mayo.

Set in the context of the Shell Corrib Gas Project, what the forum is about or what it's supposed to address is not clear. “It's not a decision making forum”, said the chairman, Joe Brosnan.

Meanwhile, in another room at the same venue, local residents and community activists hosted a parallel forum, the People's Forum, to address what the Ministers' forum will not address … the substantive issues, which are:

Health, Safety & the Environment.
The Great Gas Giveaway.
Community Consent

Rallies and protests against the education cuts have taken place in Cork, Donegal, Galway and now Dublin. The same unions which have accepted the National Pay Deal are not accepting the cuts, the same people who voted to accepted the pay deal are not accepting the education cuts. This unresolved contradiction is at the heart of this new protest movement. The ideology of the market which became entrenched under Partnership and the Celtic Tiger is unravelling. These images reflect the search for a new language of resistance and a confusion on taking it forward. Who can do it? Who will do it? read full story / add a comment

THE Ryanair boss has made big mistakes, buying fuel at inflated prices, coming under pressure to cut in a company with the fat already peeled back to the bone.

What does he do to distract attention - he gets more and more hysterical and wants to finally destroy the former state asset, Aer Lingus by buying it up to sell it off. He wants to be the monopoly he said he was going into business to prevent.

O'Leary calls for "board members -- with a few notable exceptions -- to be 'taken out and shot' describing them as 'useless'." He is focusing in his Sunday Independent interview on trade unions and their representatives - this is the boss who says he can deal with trade unions - he will start by shooting them.

Now he want to sell off CIE and the ESB to himself and his rich pals at knock-down prices

We need a workers' solution - re-nationalise the lot and take over Ryanair - shoot O'Leary with publicly owned bullets if he resists. Sauce for the goose..... read full story / add a comment
