2007-08-27 08:16 Denmark: Hizb ut-Tahrir's annual conference
Hizb ut-Tahrir in Denmark gathered Sunday for the movement's six-hour annual conference. The conference caused calls from politicians to ban the movement, mainly from the Danish Social Liberal Party (Radikale) and the Danish People's Party. Fadi Addullatif, the movement's spokesperson, said in response that Denmark is becoming a dictatorship, just like those Denmark criticizes in the Middle East. He said such developments blur the difference between the dictatorships and the European governmen …

2007-08-20 09:48 AMERICAN PICTURES
My dad showed me American Pictures when I was a kid and I remember it had a profound effect on me. Jacob Holdt, a Danish photographer spent several years vagabonding across America in the 70's, taking thousands of photographs of the mainly poor black families he stayed with along the way. The narratives are full of darkness, despair and desperation and it's all seen with an honesty that cuts right through you like a knife. Many of the pictures and text are online here. thanks Rafael for the link

I went to shop for a new deodorant at Stansted on my return trip from London this weekend. As always, I found it terrifying. All the smells.

And what if you buy the wrong one They're not cheap, you know, so you're st …

2007-07-01 08:42 Radical Acceptance in American Pictures
We saw Jacob Holdt's American Pictures slideshow yesterday. It made a deep impression on me. Jacob's core belief is that every person on this planet is fundamentally good. He meets everyone with love instead of fear, and it turns out that it really works. People holding him up at gunpoint becomes his friends. He picks up every hitch-hiker on his way, and his friends include the poorest outcast black people, poor outcast white people, Ku Klux Klan members, Woody who personally killed more than a …
