James Petras
"The incredible "terrorist plot" allegedly thwarted in London this summer does not finish causing the consternation of the political analysts. Whereas the media continue to repeat the eccentric allegations of the British police forces, many personalities show, on the contrary, their foundation absence in a detailed way. After the analyses of the former British ambassador Craig Murray, the German journalist Jürgen Elsässer and the Unitedstator novelist Thomas C. Greene, we publish that one of the academic James Petras. In which he dismounts, point by point, the propaganda machine, and highlights its economic implications."

"The 11 million Muslims living in Europe have become the victims of polarization between the West and Islam triggered by the Sept. 11 attacks. Muslims already dealing with educational issues and adaptation problems abroad are nowadays exposed to increasingly racist attacks. European governments, most of which are hardline right-wing parties, are enforcing considerable restrictions on the rights of Muslims by with terrorism and immigration laws. Non-governmental Muslim organizations, however, are struggling to realize legal measures which can be taken against the epidemic disease of Islamophobia."

Scott Berinato
"In early August, suspected terrorists did not blow up several commercial jets over the Atlantic Ocean. The alleged plot was, in part, successful. Despite the apparent illogic of connecting those two statements, they're not incongruous. The first is provably true, of course. As for the second, what success can terrorists claim?"

Pakistan, U.K. Target Forced Marriages / CBC News, 29 Aug 2006

PAUL GARWOOD
"Pakistan, Britain take action on foreigners being forced into village marriages. More than 100 British nationals of Pakistani descent _ 20 percent of them males as young as 14 _ have been rescued in each of the past two years after being forced into marriages here. Americans with links to Pakistan are also made to marry against their will but in fewer numbers, the U.S. Embassy said. But this could be just the tip of the iceberg, officials say, as many women forced to marry live in isolated communities or at the mercy of authoritarian families."
