    Security panic and loyalty tests


    by Sunny on 16th June, 2006 at 3:02 PM    

    From Sid:

    Naeem Mohaiemen, US artist and human rights activist, will be giving two lectures today and tomorrow (7.30pm) on: Post 9/11 Security Panic and Loyalty Tests and the Hawthorn Effect on Activist Films, for the Performance Studies International Conference. He will be showing excerpts from two of his documentary films Fear of Flying and Muslims or Heretics, an examination of the anti-Ahmadiyya attacks in Bangladesh and its causes.

    Worth supporting because anti-Ahmadiyya attacks have long been supressed in the media.

      maybe worth supporting once we have an independent inquiry into 9-11, using 9-11 to sell ideas/products is ridiculous as we still searching for answers and justice. the victims families deserve that and are being ignored by the bush administration sickening…

      i wonder how these “Ahmadiyya ” formed and how “powerful” they are…

      from their website: “It firmly believes in and acts upon the Qur’anic teaching: “There is no compulsion in religion.” (2:257) It strongly rejects violence and terrorism in any form and for any reason.”
