Xenophobia, Racism, and Antiracist Hysteria
Politics + Religion
Written by Maria Seferou   

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female", declared the Apostle Paul, some 2000 years ago; but to this day, few have taken notice of him. The bitter truth is that people love their racism. What is racism? Basically, racism means any distinction based on race or ethnic origin that results in the persecution or the restriction of human rights of groups that are discriminated against. The racist ideology or, rather, pathology, is abhorrent and condemnable under any circumstances and excuses. Unfortunately, there are still more subtle forms of racism, as e.g. against women - in certain cultures and religions more than in other ones - racism against old people, disabled people, the poor, the ugly, and even racism against people living in a particular locality of the same country. Yet, xenophobia, which is usually a reaction to mass and uncontrolled immigration, is not exactly racism, at least it is not the worse expression of racism. This is my opinion, anyway.

Ron Paul - Internet Phenom Or The Real Deal
Politics + Religion
Written by Michael Allard   

On Monday November 5th, republican presidential candidate Ron Paul made the news headlines after his campaign generated $4.2 million dollars in little more than a day. The extraordinary thing about the record setting campaign drive, is that it was not organized by the official staff working for Ron Paul 2008. Rather, the idea for the fundraiser came from "unofficial" grass-roots supporters acting on their own. This turns the tactic of grass-roots operations on its head.

The 21st century has now met the 14th century in real time and although the result sounds like a page out of "Ripley's Believe it or Not" this is real life in real time this week in America and the rest of the world.

 

If the incredulity were not thick enough then comes one of the so called "moderate" Muslims to speak to Fox Newsmen Bill O'Reilly on the Factor November 30, 2007. He insists that moderate Muslims around the globe condemn this kind of extremism but when asked which Muslim country or moderate Muslim organization has been heard from specifically, he has no answer.
