As of 2am Sunday morning, Balata is under heavy attack by the Israeli military, terrorising and imprisoning the 30,000 residents in their homes. Two helicopters, fifty armoured jeeps, tanks and bulldozers have surrounded the camp, closing all entrances and imposing 24-hour 'curfew'. The Balata youth took to the streets and continue to resist the invasion with stones. see www.balatacamp.net for updates and photos ... read full story / add a comment

It does not pass without notice that the violent religions today are those that subscribe to the ideology of ancient Semitic nomads. Today the ancient ideology of Canaanite tribes finds expression in Islam, Judaism and Christianity. These three barbaric, primitive, patriarchal religions are the scourge of the planet; no other social group matches their blood lust, violence, hypocrisy and disregard for the environment – they stand indicted by their actions. Allow me to draw your attention to that which you would constantly deny. ... read full story / add a comment

They were held by Special Branch and questioned for several hours about where they had been and who they had met. They were also questioned on Michael Winterbottom's politics." ... read full story / add a comment

This is an extract from a WSM article on Islam. It is timely that it should be brought forward again. It challenges many of the ortodoxies of the "Left" and Liberals who have prostrated themselves before Islam. Thes e perhaps are the most important couple of sentences: "Anarchists have a long and proud tradition of fighting the power of organised religion, including in countries like Spain fighting fascist gangs formed on a religious basis. While we recognise the freedom of people to hold a religion we also recognise that there has to be a freedom from religion - an idea that runs against the basis of Islam." Read and enjoy. The full article is at the link below. ... read full story / add a comment

This whole episode started in what appeared to be a harmless way. Danish author Kåre Bluitgen wanted to write a children’s book on the life of Mohammed, but was unable to find an artist prepared to illustrate it for him (ironically the book has since been published, complete with illustrations, although the artist insisted on anonymity). The editors of Jyllands-Posten claim they decided to test out this unwillingness to depict the prophet by asking 25 cartoonists to send then an image of Mohammed “as they saw him”. Thirteen refused, but the other 12 were all published in the newspaper. There seems little doubt that the exercise was intended as a provocation. ... read full story / add a comment |
