- Jihad isn't just for Muslims anymore, according to Lieutenant-General William "Jerry" Boykin, the man tasked with hunting down Osama bin Laden. Boykin phrased the war on terror as a battle against "Satan," who he said was represented by Muslims who worshipped "idols." "The battle that we're in is a spiritual battle," said Boykin. "Satan wants to destroy us as a Christian army." Caught between Iraq and a hard place, Rumsfeld downplayed... |

- As the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) began its meeting this week, Malaysia's Mahathir Mohammed grabbed headlines and dragged the organization further into the mud. Sounding like a fresh convert to propaganda tracts like "Protocols of the Elders of Zion," Mohammed let loose an onslaught of anti-semitic polemic at the opening ceremonies of the OIC. In his fiery speech, he told leaders of the Islamic world that 1.3 billion Muslims could not be "defeated by a few... |

- Like most of the US yesterday, American Muslims spent the second anniversary of the 9/11 attacks in remembrance. They participated in peace walks, offered support for counter-terrorism efforts, and held memorial events. Now more than ever, with American views of Islam becoming increasingly negative, peace-loving Muslims need to get their message out. But the most visible mention of Muslim 9/11 events yesterday focused on the UK-based extremist group al-Muhajiroun, who planned several... |

- In the Muslim world these days, the pen is just no match for the sword. Increasingly, theological and political debates in the Muslim world are being "won" by extremists who don't bother to argue their case to the people - they just kill their opponent. Case in point: the bombing murder of Ayatollah Mohammad Baqer al-Hakim and nearly 100 others at one of the most sacred shrines of Shi'a Islam in Najaf, Iraq. It seems that bombing people to oblivion isn't just for infidels anymore... |

- Vous connaissez la blague "pas de bras, pas de chocolat"? J'espère, car elle ne peut se raconter. Il s'agit d'une de ces blagues qui vont font tellement rire avec certaines personnes, ds un certain contexte, mais qui, une fois ailleurs sont en mesure de vous faire passer pour ce que certains nomment un "beauf". |

- Et oui c'est cyclique, dès que l'année académique redémarre, je délaisse ce joueb, faute de temps. Et c'est encore pire maintenant puisque durant tout le mois d'octobre, je fais un stage ici , plus précisément dans le département "Tax and Business Process". En gros il s'agit de faire les déclarations et de remplir les obligations fiscales des clients. C'est plus comptable que juridique mais c'est agréable de voir la fiscalité d'un autre angle. |

- And then you hear the one about the "top Vatican official," one of those ultra-dour black-robed cardinals who never see daylight or the modern world or love, espousing the official Vatican line in a recent interview, claiming that condoms do not, in fact, prevent the transmission of the AIDS virus. "Relying on condoms is like betting on your own death," muttered Cardinal Alfonso Lopez Trujillo, the head of the Vatican's Pontifical Council for the Family. True. He said it. And lightning, shockingly, did not strike his pasty sanctimonious butt dead on the spot. |

- Bad Bad (well maybe not THAT bad) Old Stuff.. ha ha I am currently going through my old hard drives, looking for scanned photos to post on the web. What I am also coming across is a whole load of old files from I don’t know when. Here is some of my old college poetry. At once they can be seen as pretty hilarious stuff but put them in context of what everyone that age puts out. |

- Impressions For Daniel, I’ve seen the snow on the AlpsLenin in Red SquareEiffle Tower in ParisThe Berlin Wall while it was Being Obliterated Yet nothing was like seeing you Not even the breath takingLos Angeles smog, or theHatching of Malaysian Sea turtles in the monsoon rain,Could make me feel, like When I watched them wheeling in The child size coffin andRealizing the wood, wasDark blond -the color of your hair The orange cutting inspiredSydney Opera House, andThe Great Wall of ChinaCould not humble usLike when your troubled brother, whoSome wished had died instead of you.Told us he loved, sat downHis sobs resonated upTo the ceiling, through the glass crossWhere God’s sunbeam strolled inPassing out leaflets on guilt. The documentary on the holocaust, The sight of two men kissing, Or the man I loved, Didn’t change me as much as seeing The child size coffin with brass trimmingsAnd knowing the yellow wood Matched your hair. |

- Homesickness (Old College Art and Poetry. An excercise in getting all sad, because that's what you did then.) Her job –weaving cloudsSoft sheen of orange silk during dusk.On the planeAfter I said goodbyeI am with herWeaving, weaving away pink silk nothings Ever since Mother of the Skies banished her from earthShe sees her husband once a yearOn a bridge of birdsHer children on each side of him My reasons is diaspora -immigrationI have a grandmother in LAAnother in SydneyWhile my step grandmother is buried in Christ Church, New Zealand I look out for weaving girl as I fly into her handiworkAnd think of the iron bird, coasting throughbreaking, ripping and tearing the fabrics so carefully and sorrowfully madeAnd I wonder If she misses her family as much as I do *In a Chinese story, the Weaving Girl who weaves clouds falls in love with a mortal and has two children on earth. Mother of the Skies goes on a search to for her. |
