If you are curious about the Koran and would like to decide for yourself what the real tenets of the religion are (rather than what the zealots from both sides bring out), why not download a copy?

Better than expected news – so far only two murders of Muslims have been linked to hatred of Arabs after the recent attacks and the FBI is investigating around 40 hate crimes – so far at least a huge wave of anti-Muslim hatred seems not to have arrived. To his credit, Bush has condemned revenge attacks in the US. The BBC’s correspondent in New York talked to Muslims there and found understandable fear but not much evidence of assaults or even abuse.

Cynic that I am I was initially inclined to believe that community arts projects on the Internet from deprived areas, while well-meaning, would be rather underwhelming compared to commercial offerings. I am pleased to find I was wrong. Some are a little rough around the edges, but many I saw at the Creative and Connected conference were quite impressive. Charnwood Arts, for example, offers radio, mp3s, over 1,500 photographs and more – all from a small, economically depressed borough in the North of England.Steve Thompson, aside from being an inspirational speaker, has been responsible for masterminding Tees Valley Communities Online, a similar project. He gives a better overview of his work than I could…

The US got what it deserved say Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson. Falwell said, “”The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked… I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way — all of them who have tried to secularize America — I point the finger in their face and say, ‘You helped this happen.'”

It seems to be obligatory to post up something about Tuesday’s appalling events. I try to apply a utilitarian approach to problems, however emotive they may be. As a result, I am apprehensive when I hear talk about a “war” on terrorism and particularly early press speculation about a possible invasion of Afghanistan (or possibly a punitive expedition?). Paul Wolfowitz, deputy Pentagon chief, is quoted as saying the US would “end states which sponsor terrorism.” The terrorist attacks themselves were bad enough, but there is a danger that:

1) they may encourage further bigotry among Americans against Muslims and/or arabs, most of whom are not at all sympathetic to the aims of the terrorists. In the Telegraph here in the UK Daniel Pipes suggests 10-15% of Muslims are “Islamists” (his term for militants) and says we must worry about Islamist “sleepers” (or in other words any Muslim even if they *seem* peaceable).

2) they may cause huge disruption to people’s lives in a futile attempt to make the world “safe”. I don’t think it is actually possible to secure the world against determined terrorists without an unacceptable level of inconvenience and paranoia. John Keegan, Defence Editor of the Telegraph has already suggested that ISPs should be required to forbid the transmission of encrypted messages (!) and uncompliant providers on foreign territory should expect their buildings to be destroyed by cruise missiles (!!!)

3) they may cause the US to lash out blindly against people they see as enemies – if they attack Afghanistan or other nations which house terrorists they will likely cause large civilian casualties and huge resentment in the Muslim world, breeding many more terrorists to take their place.

4) they may set back the middle east peace process for years to come. Simplifying grossly, Israel is the intransigent party these days and Bush was already closely aligned with Israel. Now there is a danger that some Palestinians’ anger at the US for historical reasons will be exploited by opponents of their cause to make a just settlement look like surrender to terrorism.

If the terrorists and their leaders can be found and killed or captured, of course I would like to see that happen (and I wouldn’t be too fussy about the methods used as long as they weren’t indiscriminate like cruise missiles) but I think it would be both wrong and dangerous to make this into a larger war or crusade. The terrorists don’t represent anyone but themselves – if we launch a jihad against a whole culture then they will have achieved their goal.

Frankly, I believe that even this lacklustre President would not be foolish enough to ignite such a conflagration (and if he were, I doubt his advisors would let him) but I still worry that the inflammatory suggestions like the ones we are starting to see in the press are deeply un-helpful.

Apologies for a slow update – I am at the Creative and Connected conference in Middlesbrough (NE England). I may share more thoughts on the US bombings later but for now I would just like to mention that the European Union has announced a three minute silence at noon (continental time) on Friday to express solidarity with the terrorism victims.

Goodbye and good riddance to the poisonous Jesse Helms. Here is a collection of some of his words and wisdom.

Euro MPs plan ban on spam – It looks like there may be a U turn from the bone-headed position championed by a Labour MEP, Michael Cashman. Earlier this year an EU committee backed a proposal to allow companies to send emails to customers unless the customers opted out of receiving them. Fortunately, a majority of MEPs voted to force companies to wait for an “opt in” and sent the proposed bill back to committee.1100 ringtone nokia composernokia free ringtone 3395 phonenokia download 3587i ringtonefree 6101 nokia mp3 ringtone3590 polyphonic free nokia ringtoneringtone 8181ringtone a1american ringtones results idol Maplesbian free moviesex free lesbian movies onclips movie hardcore free fuckingmovies pussy freeflash maker movielolita moviesamc movie theatershardcore movies Map

Clever Web Tricks (cont.) – how to put a mailto: link to your email address without letting spammers get at it. Visit this page, which converts your email address text into text that browsers will understand but “spiders” which try to capture email addresses will not. My mailto using this technique comes out as “mailto:%64%61%76%69%64%40%64%61%76%69%64%62%72%61%6b%65%2e%6f%72%67” but works as normal: david at davidbrake dot org. If this doesn’t work with your browser or you see another problem with it, please let me know!

Toxic Sludge is Good For You An interview with the author of the aforementioned book about the PR industry in the US. There is no question that there are lots of horror stories to be found when you spend your life looking at how corporate spin runs America, but I think he over-states his case when he says,

“Corporations really are all about money, and anything else really is public relations and image building.”
