Hey American - (A 'Ground Zero Mosque' song)
America isn't easy. Principle isn't easy. Living our principles takes genuine courage. Sometimes it's painful. Sometimes it's just plain hard. But if we are to be the people or the country we claim to be, we must live by the principles upon which this nation was founded — or they are not principles... but pleasant and "convenient possibilities". - DAVID IPPOLITO, New York City

Tories refuse to ban full face veils, Tariq Ramadan vs Mona Eltahawy on the Niqab
The Tories practice the cancer of the left… “political correctness”. Whilst other countries around the world (including Muslim countries) are banning the full face veil in certain situations, the UK is falling over itself to appease. Strange how it’s not allowed to cover your face with a motorbike crash helmet in places like banks,
What does the coalition government get out of it’s stance in shutting down all debate? Is the UK a democracy?
Recorded from Newsnight, 19 July 2010.

Ramadan Tariq - First visit to US in six years
Once-Banned Muslim Scholar Tariq Ramadan on His First Visit to US in Six Years, President Obama and Why Muslims Should Make Their Voices Heard
We speak with leading Muslim scholar Tariq Ramadan, who was banned from entering the United States for six years. In 2004, Ramadan had accepted a job to become a tenured professor at the University of Notre Dame, but nine days before he was set to arrive, the Bush administration revoked his visa, invoking a provision of the PATRIOT Act. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lifted the travel ban earlier this year. This week, he arrived in New York for the first time since 2004. Tariq Ramadan joins us in our studio to talk about the ban, his thoughts on President Obama, the importance for Muslims to make their voices heard, and much more. [includes rush transcript]
