The ironic presidency
From the administration that brought you the "Clear Skies" program that makes the air dirtier, we bring you the latest in ironic absurdity: kicking people out of campaign events because they were wearing T-shirts reading "Protect Our Civil Liberties."

You've seen stories about people wearing Kerry-Edwards shirts being kicked out of Bush-Cheney events. While that's certainly rude (and doesn't happen at Kerry-Edwards events when people wear Bush paraphernalia), at least you can understand the motives of the people doing it.

But how can the Bush-Cheney campaign possibly justify kicking people out for showing support for civil liberties? Does this mean that President Bush is officially opposed to the Bill of Rights? Will his campaign be issuing a statement on his plan to repeal the First Amendment?

Delegatie Irak wil leren van democratie
Uitgegeven op 16 oktober 2004 om 21:16 uur

Een delegatie van vijf Irakezen is de komende week in Nederland om ervaring op te doen met democratie in Nederland. Zij zijn hier op uitnodiging van de Socialistische Partij en zullen gesprekken voeren met onder anderen volksvertegenwoordigers, de vakcentrale FNV en vrouwen- en jongerenorganisaties.

De delegatie bestaat uit onder meer uit een communistische politicus die in de conferentie zat om een interim-parlement aan te wijzen en een hoogleraar uit Babel. Volgens senator Tiny Kox van de SP kunnen de Irakezen van de democratie in Nederland leren. "Ze kunnen de kennis die ze hier hebben opgedaan dan weer doorgeven aan de mensen in Irak. Zo helpen we een handje bij de wederopbouw van de democratie in Irak."

HM King condemns “impostors” tarnishing image of Islam

Rabat, Oct. 15 – HM King Mohammed has condemned the “groups of impostors, extremists and obscurants” who try to tarnish the image of Islam by using different subterfuges.”

In a message addressed to Islamic leaders to congratulate them on Ramadan, that started Friday in Morocco, the Moroccan monarch said “this is an occasion to recall the bonds uniting the Islamic nation (…), that is attached to the precepts of Our religion in terms of tolerance, equality and brotherhood, (…) and that bans all forms of violence, extremism and terrorism.”

The genuine image of Islam is that of “peace, moderation and respect of human dignity,” he said.

HM King Mohammed VI, Amir Al Mouminine (commander of the faithful), voiced hope Islamic leaders will manage to redress the image of Islam, which “groups of impostors, extremists and obscurants try to tarnish using different subterfuges.”

The congratulation messages also reaffirm Morocco’s constant concern to build a strong Maghreban Union that is founded on solid bases in such a way as to make it an effective regional coalition in its regional and international environment. The Union, known as UMA, was set up in 1989 by five north African countries, namely Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia.

HM the king also renewed his country’s stance in favor of a fair, lasting and global peace that would allow the Palestinian people live in freedom and dignity.
