Indymedia is wrong to allow racists and xenophobes to publish

INDYMEDIA MUST NOT ALLOW RACISTS AND XENOPHOBES TO DIVERT AWAY FROM THE CRITICAL ISSUES THAT AFFECT FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS. INDYMEDIA SHOULD STOP RACIST POSTS GETTING IN, whether from internal racists or from anywhere else

it must be the political poet's name! Nothing else makes sense to the nameless abusers leaving ‘comments’.


The name must be ‘negative’ because it is
reminiscent of the name
of the prophet.

The simple fact is that MUHAMMAD HAQUE has not posted anything in his
Indymedia pieces about
religion. Not at all about any issues that are at the centre of the main ‘debates’ and exchanges this time.

Yet the INDYMEDIA ‘comments’ have been about topics and prejudices that are symptomatic of the ‘comment’ ‘writers’ states of the petty and racist minds. Not based on the contents or the discernible purposes of the POLITICAL POETRY above their vile words.

What does this say about INDYMEDIA? Is it being controlled;ed by the army of
‘radical’ persons having the enlightenment that they must have if they are to be treated as being for a democratic future?

Of all the contributors who have shown the basic decency to leave their names, MUHAMMAD HAQUE has been the only one over the past few months whose writing has been consistently cosmopolitan and internationalist. Yet he has been attacked with the most foul ‘comments’ that bear no relationship whatever with what the man has been writing about or stands for.

INDYMEDIA is sadly showing signs of having been hijacked by the very forces that prompt and control all that is bad about GW Bush, Tony Blair and their military industrial allies against society.

The ‘comments’ have been uniformly of an ignorant racist variety and low standard that would not have been allowed had INDYMEDIA been ‘edited’ and ‘volunteered’ by educated, non-racist pro-democratic personnel.

The worst racist and xenophobic crypto-fascists have been represented in the outrageously inappropriate and the anti-Muslim ‘comments’.

What does this say about
INDYMEDIA and their racist
‘comment’ makers!

It says that THEY do not even understand what makes any difference to society. They most certainly do not know what democratic debate is. They lack the basic intelligence.
Constitutional issues are thus far too difficult for them to grapple with.
They are happy in the land of drunken racist sleazy
mono or duo syllabic
grunts and swear words. Anything more demanding will overtax their sad, pathetic beings!

No wonder there cannot be a proper debate on any subject on INDYMEDIA. Unless the subject resembles the rhetorical
opium of the masses - which in the BUSH-BLAIR
axis of aggression is to be found only in a ‘Muslim name’. Only in a ‘Muslim land. No matter what any ‘Muslim’ says! No matter what any ‘Muslim’ land is entitled to have as its
legitimate government and representative.

The sickness shown by the racist anti-Muslims posting comments is the most abhorrently obvious evidence of why Blair ignored the mass rallies in Hyde Park in February and March 2003.

Blair ‘knew’ that in the end, he could rely on the irredeemably barren and empty ‘majority’ of ignorant
xenophobes who would
see the ‘fun’ of devaluing and undermining a ‘Muslim’, any ‘Muslim’!

Or doing so against anyone they ‘spot’ with a ‘Muslim’ name!

If this is not proof of how sick and shocking the ‘internet forum’ has become, I do not know what is
