zo en dan ga ik nu VARA – De Leugen Regeert kijken met Peter Plasman. Hij is advocaat van de verdachte van de moord op Theo van Gogh en geeft commentaar op de berichtgeving rondom Mohammed B. deze week.

There is some news on Jason W. one of the peopel who were arrested in the Hague a few weeks after the murder on Van Gogh. In his MSN-chatlogs there is a kind of death list.
PM, Nato boss ‘included on terror suspect’s death list’
The logs seem quite serious on the other hand they also contain some typical braggin’ and boasting.

De twee rappers van DHC hebben een Werkstraf’ gekregen.
De DHC’ers hebben de grenzen van de vrijheid van meningsuiting overschreden met het lied, zo vindt de rechter. De diss bestaat namelijk louter uit ernstige bedreigingen.
[…]
De rechter is echter van mening dat een en ander wel voor rekening van de rappers komt. Er is weliswaar geen bewijs dat ze de diss zelf hebben verspreid, maar blijkbaar hebben zij er ook niet voor gezorgd dat niemand anders aan de rap kon komen en hem verspreiden. Bovendien hebben ze geen afstand genomen van hun uitingen, maar juist in het openbaar de verantwoordelijkheid op zich genomen door in het tv-programma NOVA te verschijnen.
Den Haag Connection is in ieder geval nog steeds een hit in het underground circuit zo is mijn inschatting. (Overigens is er een ge-restylde uitvoering van de Diss inmiddels in omloop)
Tijdens de rechtzaak twee weken geleden stelde de advocaat het volgende (volgens de Volkskrant):
‘Hiphop is onderdeel geworden van de jeugdcultuur’, haalde hij geraadpleegde experts aan. ‘Zo’n diss is voor de jongens van DHC d� manier om te reageren op een debat waarin zij voor hun gevoel gedisst worden. En als we het dan hebben over de toon van het integratiedebat: is ‘kutmarokkaan’ dan zoveel constructiever?’
Nu heeft die advocaat niet met mij gesproken, maar wel erg goed mijn artikel ‘Dit is geen poep wat ik praat – De Hirsi Ali Diss nader belicht’ in het tijdschrift ZemZem gelezen.
Dat blijft overeind naar mijn mening, zelfs al stellen de rappers dat de diss niet voor publieke consumptie was bedoeld en ook al is het niet vreemd dat veel mensen hier aanstoot aan nemen.
Tekst Hirsi Ali Diss
Hirsi Ali Diss
Fuck Hirsi Ali Somalie,
Dit is Rico Chemicalie
Ik ben aan zet
Stuur een Scudraket
naar die kankerslet
Je bent goedkoper dan een Easyjet
…
Ik sla je op je bek
Breek je nek
…
Doe ‘s gewoon
Want ik weet in welk huis je woont
Kankerhoer, altijd op de loer
Met je dichtgenaaide snee
Bij de VVD, hey
…
Ben bezig met het voorbereiden
van een liquidatie bomba aktie tegen Hirsi Ali
Dat is mijn reactie voor de onrust die ze zei
…
Je maakt me moe
Weet je wat ik doe
Ik snij je in twee�n
Dump je in ��n van de zeven zee�n

Netwerk – Vanavond in Netwerk
Mijn ISIM / Rights at Home collega Laila al-Zwaini hoopt (volgens Netwerk) dat de stemhokjes leeg blijven. Zij ziet in de verkiezingen een legitimatie voor de Amerikanen om in Irak te blijven.

In this article in Dutch by the daily Trouw, Kustaw Bessems reports how the French embassy pressured people like Paul Scheffer, Olivier Roy and Micha�l Zeeman not to talk to Tariq Ramadan.
All these people were scheduled to appear at the literature festival Winternachten in a debate the situation of mutual distrust in the east en the west.
According to the French embassy Ramadan is a dangerous person; a wolf in sheeps clothes. On Dhimmiwatch and Campuswatch and on Frontpage Magazine there are several articles with the same allegations most of them linked to problems he had getting into (or not into) the US.
On Oumma.com you can the reaction of Ramadan to these events (in French). Both articles, are placed below as well.

Double standards, something which we often attribute to Muslims is of course nothing new for non-Muslims as well. Several issues on double standards such as: America: Land of the Free? Not if You’re a Muslim, by Mary Shaw – Democratic Underground. In this article she shows how Muslims in the US are treated as second rate citizens, and considered to be a threat to national security. A reference to the Jim Crow law’s is made:
Curt Goering, Senior Deputy Executive Director of Amnesty International USA, summed it up well: “Racial profiling is to the 21st century what Jim Crow laws were to the last, turning entire groups of people into second-class citizens and denying them the rights to which we all are due.”
The reason for this article is probably the survey at Cornell University:
A recent Cornell University survey found that almost half of all Americans believe that the U.S. government should restrict the civil liberties of Muslim Americans. This bigoted, racist attitude is quite simply appalling. It essentially favors racial profiling; yet a recent report by Amnesty International presents strong evidence indicating that racial profiling does not work.
This is a survey used by Daniel Pipes one of the major anti-islam/anti radical islam prophets. According to Habib Sidiqui Pipes supports the concept of rounding up millions of Muslim Americans and interning them in concentration camps just as was done with the Japanese during WWII and he defends racial profiling.
To support his sinister proposal on internment of Muslims, Daniel cites a poll, conducted by sophomore students in the Department of Communication at Cornell University.[7] The report was released on Dec. 17, 2004. He writes, �For years, it has been my position that the threat of radical Islam implies an imperative to focus security measures on Muslims. � And so, I was encouraged by a just-released Cornell University opinion survey that finds nearly half the U.S. population agreeing with this proposition. Specifically, 44 percent of Americans believe that government authorities should direct special attention towards Muslims living in the United States, either by registering their whereabouts, profiling them, monitoring them, monitoring their mosques or infiltrating their organizations.�
Although Sidiqui has a nice analysis he falls into the same trap as a lot of people do with the following statement:
So, rather than shedding crocodile tears for Muslim Americans� image, Daniel and his ilk should examine at their own culpability and work towards improving the image of Bush and America around the world. That would be more productive and commendable. Otherwise, it won�t be too long that their honeymoon with Bush would be over. And who knows they might find themselves in the same spots visited by others like Julius Streicher, Hans Frank, Adolf Eichman, Rudolf Hess and Hermann Goering for crimes against humanity!
Now he is attacking the person and as so often not the person’s statement. Does this mean he agrees? His only proposal is that people should know more about Islam; a little bit naieve I think. This is the old contacthypothesis: if you have contact with people of other groups you are probably to like them more than if you don’t have contact. Ah, if things were just that simple…

Exclusief: Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Het zoveelste exclusieve interview met Hirsi Ali. Wel de moeite waard. Ze doet twee opmerkelijke suggesties:
1. Vrijwilligers moeten gaan werken op zwarte scholen
2. Een gezamenlijke visie met Aboutaleb, Cohen en Wilders op de radicale islam.
Wat vinden we daarvan?

Vrouwenopvang luidt de noodklok
De Vrouwenopvang in Nederland luidt de noodklok. Er zouden de laatste maand drie doden door eerwraak zijn gevallen. Los van het feit of dat nu wel eerwraak was, het is de moeite waard om voor in actie te komen lijkt me.

Islamdebat geen overbodige luxe
Rabiaa Bouhalhoul is verantwoordelijk voor het Rotterdamse islamdebat dat dit jaar woedt. Zij vindt niet dat het debat stigmatiserend werkt. ,,Moslims doen het slechter dan andere nieuwkomers als het gaat om culturele integratie.”

Well hello piepel,
As you can see, this blog has changed somewhat. Thanks to Marten who has made a simple but elegant template for WordPress, this blog should be as it was before. Except for the lay-out of course. Some will find it less orientalistic and therefore better others will find it buhhh. But I like it. Even peter has started blogging again(!) so the virtual company is very good.
I have changed the name by the way to C L O S E R – Anthropology of Muslims in the Netherlands (a modest attempt). The other name was quite bombastic and I am not a islamic scholar but an anthropologist who tries to look closerinto the matter. Closer has several meanings in Dutch: dichter, nader(-en), intiem and well you can give your own interpretation.
Enjoy your stay and don’t hesitate to leave your comments or visit my researchpages.
