Bradley Manning’s Voice

The Free­dom of the Press Found­a­tion has obtained a leaked audio of the mil­it­ary tribunal against Brad­ley Man­ning, where Man­ning reads his state­ment which was pre­vi­ously tran­scribed and pub­lished on The Guard­ian. This leaked audio finally allows the rest of the world to hear the words of Man­ning in his own voice, a chilling insight

Support #teamezrazaid

My favour­ite local comedian seems to have got­ten him­self into a spot of bother for trans­lat­ing a book last year. I was of in the woods at the time so I didn’t know about the government’s ban on Irshad Manji’s Allah, Liberty and Love. Here’s his response. All I have to say is, if you

Stand with Raif Badawi

Cross post from Malay­sian Athe­ists. To King Abdul­lah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Please res­cind charges against Raif Badawi.

Passive Aggressive Media

Those who are using Face­book and other social web­sites to belittle Islam may soon find the author­it­ies knock­ing on their doors. The gov­ern­ment, with help from vari­ous

Lone Voice in a Circle Jerk

The eG8 sum­mit was a strange thing. It was appar­ently a forum for stake­hold­ers in busi­nesses centred upon the Inter­net and civil soci­ety to dis­cuss the future dir­ec­tion of the Inter­net, and to present these views to the lead­ers of the G8.
