ur welcome jalpari...

I figured most of us would be on our Reading Week breaks from Univ.
- so one, we do have the time... and two, this is a chance to fight off the danger of becoming 'All Talk, No Action'.

I'm hoping to see a good crowd inshaAllah.

Please use one thread for your protests.

There is a peace rally in NYC on Feb. 15 and one in SF on Feb. 16. I urge you all to goto these peace marches if you oppose the war on Iraq. If you wont go it'll be assumed that you are supporting this war...Please get involved and make your voice heard....we must stop this war!



Cheers,
Naik

The BBC is asking people attending Saturday's anti-war protests who are carrying new combination camera/cell phones to relay their pictures to its newsroom at (44) 7970 885089 or email them to [email protected]. The broadcaster said that it hopes to provide coverage of the demonstrations "from a protester's perspective." It is also accepting photos taken with digital cameras. (It was not clear whether the pictures would be used only on the BBC's website or whether they would also be incorporated in its TV coverage of the protests.)

People, even though I am away and cannot be there to smack you around. Please don't litter infront of my building in NYC when you are havng the love in. I have to have a chat with NYA, a big NYC gov't exec. to, and smack him for giving the permit to march in my hood to a bunch of know not hippies.
