In Brooklyn, not Baghdad

May 19, 2004 islamoyankee

This salon.com article talks about the abuse that prisoners are suffering in Brooklyn. It’s frighteningly similar in style, if not degree, to Abu Ghuraib.

Central Asian Elections

First hat-tip here. The NYT is not allowing perma-links on the issue. Try to check out their coverage. Tajikistan, the country with which I’m most familiar, has a great deal of potential in terms of human capital. It would be a shame if the corruption of the government kept it from realizing its potential. While the initial blush of post-Soviet headiness in the international community has faded, I believe there is enough aid and interest in Tajikistan that it still has a short window in which it could develop a sustainable economy.

Responding to London [Updated}

These attacks are horrible. I cannot say enough to demonstrate how opposed they are to the spirit of the Prophetic message, the revelation of the Qur’an, and the spirit of Islam. However, most of the day will be spent trying to do that. I’m putting together a few things, including a list of all Muslims (sites, statements, etc.) who are condemning the attack. Also, for those of you tagging, please use “London Bombing” so we can keep track. To the bombers: 5:32 To the victims: 2:156 Update: It seems “London 7/7” is another tag floating around, so please use that…
