Author: Moazzam Begg assisted by Victoria Brittain Publisher: Free Press (27 Feb 2006) My Rating: 5/5 Enemy Combatant: A British Muslim’s Journey to Guantanamo and Back   Review When I was in Year 10 in January 2005 I did a presentation to my English class on the indefinite detention of potentially innocent human beings in Gunatanamo Bay. Handing out some of the few pictures actually available from the media and articles describing the horrific events that took place in Guantanamo to the class showed some interest, in particular a cutting from a newspaper highlighting the release of...

Well, the summer’s finished. I can’t believe that my 2 month and 20 day holiday finished so quickly! I wrote about how chuffed I was about finishing and probably more importantly my plans for the longest holiday you get in your school life. Well, let’s analyze my list: Get a job? Yes, I got a job. I got the job right at the beginning of the holiday as a customer service agent at Sky, or at least that’s what they told me. Turns out the company I was working for were a bunch of liars and it was actually a sales position. Still it was okay as it was inbound (people calling...

No – it doesn’t, but believe me thats what the media would twist this into (especially if words like Islam, Abdul or Osama were involved). Honestly if this happened to me I would probably be in Guantanamo. Read the story about how a world of warcraft geek got a taste of being a Muslim on an Aeroplane here! – Thanks Tibault.

Blah, I might as well post again seeing as I’ve got nothing else to do Saturday night…   Lebanon George Galloway hit the nail on the head. The media is preposterous, in the way it presents its news, its questions and its bias views (hey that rhymes). People are finally realising that not everything Sky News tells them is true, but more importantly, the truth is being slowly revealed (note slowly). Honestly the picture looks so clear from this side, sometimes it seems weird that people could look at some situations in a different light altogether (i.e. Israel is the victim in every...

For those of you who haven’t watched Galloway ripping the hell out of a Sky News reporter about the situation in Lebanon, I’ve uploaded it to YSE. We should be eternally thankful that there is at least one known politician out there defending the truth whilst the rest of them sit and support the propagandist media defending the real terrorists in this world.

  Well what can I say? The region’s tension has just got much closer to boiling point, and I am frightened and excited at the same time. That’s coming from me who doesn’t even live there. Looking on the situation as a whole, it is really difficult to take sides. Not that we should…but it’s hard deciding what and what not to believe here. Both Israel and Hezbollah and their actions are fuelled so much by hate and anger at each other that it is hard for outsiders to see past this to actual justifiable reasons, besides the ones which are given out to the public,...

h44xoRd?! Yeah my site got hacked, wowza those guys are so great I mean if guessing if my password was the name of the site (usayd) isn’t bad enough, they even managed to optimise their cheesy owned page for the amazing browser – Internet Explorer! Oh well I’m not complaining at least they were nice enough to leave most of my data untouched. Basically all they did was replace all of the index pages on this site (both php and html) with their own gangsta version! Meh its my fault, I mean if the creator of WordPress’s site can get hacked then I probably should’ve thought...
