This past week in Australia has been ‘fundamentally’ outstanding; dimwitted fundamentalist religionists vied with each other for top billing in the local media. Never has the nation seen such retarded behaviour from so many diverse religious groups. The prize for fundamentalist imbecile of the week however goes to the Muslim cleric Sheik al-Hilali for his retrogressive reference to women as “uncovered meat”. He unashamedly placed the responsibility for rape and other sexually violent acts onto women; men were exonerated on the basis that “uncovered meat” is sexually provocative! The local media now refers to the cleric as the “Meat Sheik” and continues to sensationalise aspects of the story. ... read full story / add a comment

Women die at the hands of the occupying US forces; but most women die at the hands of the "Resistance". Read the full article by Mary Riddell at the link. Where death is the penalty for going bare-headed If our leaders are intent on finding peace in Iraq, they could begin by upholding women's basic human rights Black is never out of fashion in Iraq. Some women, the bereaved, have not cast off their mourning robes since 2003. Others, Christians included, wear Muslim dress as camouflage to preserve their lives. Driving a car or walking bare-headed is a come-on to executioners in a country where last year's Western fashions have become this season's shroud. ... read full story / add a comment

I think we should all take a look at what is so important about indymedia work and why it is so important and what it means to each one of us. I hope that we draw courage of conviction from Brad's example and that we stand together throughout the indymedia network and as individuals to redouble our efforts. I think you all know that it could have been any one of us. But, it is so much easier for them to take us one at a time. We stand much more strongly together in what we can all be proud of. Our brave common struggle. Indymedia. ... read full story / add a comment

Standing on a damp road in the predawn morning surrounded by dozens of hostile police officers, it was easy to picture yourself in Ardoyne, Portadown or the Lower Ormeau. As the anticipation built in preparation for the arrival of the unwanted visitors, determined to trundle through the community, it almost felt like the marching season as well. But this wasn’t Dunloy or Bellaghy. Rossport is a small Gaeltacht community in probably the most remote part of Co Mayo. Take away the legions of Guards and protestors and it would be hard to imagine confrontation ever taking place on a road enveloped by bleak bogland and foreboding forest. ... read full story / add a comment

Pope Benedict today professed regret at the Ferns Sexual abuse scandals and solidarity with the victims. This might be the first papal utterance of understanding on the issue of child sexual abuse which tormented a generation of Children. The message was relayed at an Irish Episcopal Conference at the Vatican today. Its a start. It's an acknowledgement of the torment that people went through. It is not an apology or acceptance of responsibility for the handling and covering up of the issue. Pope Benedict was at the head of the council which investigated the issue of Child Sexual Abuse. The Buck Stopped there. ... read full story / add a comment

Speaking during a visit to the area this morning, Mr Sargent said he blamed Mr Dempsey for the ongoing dispute due to his failure to intervene. "This situation is unfortunately going to deteriorate and I put the onus on Minister Noel Dempsey to exercise his responsibilities to ensure a resolution of this matter and not just hide behind the legal small print which he seems to be relying on at the moment," he said. Trevor Sargent at Bellanboy http://dynamic.rte.ie/av/2185255.smil Ministers response The Green Party Leader has said the Marine and Natural Resources Minister must visit Co Mayo to see for himself the growing seriousness of the situation surrounding the development of the controversial Corrib Gas project. ... read full story / add a comment
