This is a nice lecture on Al-Qaeda. It presents a fresh look at Al-Qaeda, which I have not seen/heard/read yet. I'm now looking at Al-Qaeda a little differently after this. Not good or bad. Just different. I hope you enjoy it.

has anyone ever read the satanic verses? i don't know really know anything about it, except it angered a lot of people and fomented divisions

the media are jumping all over the anger his receiving a knighthood has caused around the ...

I'm not sure if this video was posted here before so here it is again. With the Taliban surge starting again, and if this video is any indication of what goes on at ground level, I think you get a very good picture of how the Taliban is able to continue operating.

Thanks for that Brown Sauce.

Thanks IM. I'm too cheap to buy SuSE but have tried Ubuntu 6.10 and I found it great. I had a hard time getting my printer and scanner to work on it (one reason I haven't paid for a proper distribution yet--but I donate). I eventually gave up and am waiting for the next release of Ubuntu to see if ...

I haven't been around for a while and look at all the conversations I missed.

Any ideas?

P.S., did this thread go off topic or is this where I should post this question?

For the Mac users (you lonely bunch ), try iSquint. I tried a bunch of different formats for conversion and the program converted them all. It converts to MP4 only, which can be viewed on iTunes, QuickTime, VLC, and on iPods among other devices.

Acting in a selfish/greedy manner will only serve to alienate you in the short run quit possibly destroy society in the ...

Thanks Luke. Great post, as usual.

I did a search for 'from caliban to the taliban' and 'apocalypso now' and nothing came up!

Thank you Faceless for the video. Thank you Sheffman for the synopsis as well as the link. Ever since I started coming here I keep finding some amazing links thanks to people like you! Keep up the great stuff.

I agree with Kate on GG's views on religion (as I mentioned elsewhere in the forum).

Recently I got irritated by his refusal to admit that he just might be wrong on the issue of legalization of drugs. :x Almost no one agreed with his stance, with good reason. Most of these people agree with GG on ...

Sounds like an interesting project. Either Friday or Saturday (yes, my memory is that bad) he re-iterated his opinion of Christopher Hitchens (drink-soaked popinjay) -- doesn't sound complete.

Former Trotskyite ;)

First off, I'm no expert on either George Galloway or Christopher Hitchens. I had ...
