We should not minimize the contrast between a right-wing extremist and a (neoliberal) democrat. It makes a great difference when a man is president who hates women, hates minorities, calls Mexicans animals, and promotes torture and sexual violence,
Ripley's Believe it Or Not Musea are racist!/Letter of protest (tags)
It is UNBELIEVABLE, but true. In the 21st century, after the end of apartheid and colonialism, there are worldwide ''Ripley's Believe it or not'' Musea, showing ''fun stuff'' and ''oddities'' No problem? Were it not, that shrunken heads [an old non-western ritual] and non-western people as native Americans and their imagination of some African people are displayed openly! You even can hold a ''shrunken head'' in your hand! Time for a fierce letter to Ripley's Amsterdam! SHAME, O SHAME!
Fascism in Charlottesville, 2017/Racism in Selma, 1965/It's still on (tags)
Like many other people, I had the feeling, that the Charlotteville disaster was a deja vu. Rights, that were fought so hard with blood, swear and tears, seemed to crumble down to nothing. Nazi marches again [although not in Nazi Germany], fascist hate, which caused a deadly victim. I just saw the film ''Selma'' about Martin Luther King's civil rights movement and although much has changed, I saw similarities in the oppression of black rights. But this is also written in memory of Heather Heyer and the others, who payed with their lives in the anti racist struggle. It's still on.
The Moorish rule in Spain/How the Moors brought civilization to Europe (tags)
This article is written as a counterweight against 21th Islamophobia, since few people realize, how much the European civilization owes the Moorish rule in Medieval Spain. Without this rule, there probably should have been no Renaissance, also sciences as Algebra, chemistry, astronomy etc derived from the Arab [Greek] civilization. You know a Medieval English King nearly converted to Islam? Read further
Dutch police officer, who shot Rishi Chandrikasing, acquitted/Licence to kill (tags)
The acquittal of the Dutch police officer, who shot unarmed Rishi Chandrikasing, a Dutch citizen of colour, is an absolute scandal. Cop claimed self defence, while Rishi was running away, didn't try to reanimate him [he was living after hit by the bullet] and shot when moving [against police instruction]. But it fits a long tradition of Dutch police violence, racist or other. A broad protest in society is necessary. No Justice, no peace!
On the death of president Chavez/No hero/No dictator (tags)
The late Venezuelan president Chavez deserves appreciation for his social ''Bolivarian'' programs and his anti imperialist engagement. However, reprehensible sides of his reign are the repression in Venezuela and the oppression of the freedom of expression. His friendly relationships with dictators like Assad, Lushenko and Kaddafi are disgustable. Therefore he doesn't deserve the unconditional praise he gets from his leftist admirors.
European parliament approves EU-Israel trade agreement/Letter of protest to mrs Ashton, EU (tags)
With the approval of the European Parliament of the ACCA trade agreement with Israel, the EU sets further steps in supporting Israel, despite its occupation, illegal settlements policy and warcrimes This and the EU international role of political, economical and military domination and exploitation of the Thirld World, the inhuman asylumpolicy, the wars in Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan and the Trojka starvation of the Greeks, makes the Nobelprize for Peace to the EU a mockery of Justice
Christmas message 2007:Against war,racism,poverty and exclusion ''illegals'' (tags)
Contrary the hypocrisy of the traditional Christmas-celebrations and the consumption-hysteria, the message is to work for peace, against racism and exclusion of ''illegals'' To say it shortly: the advancement of human rights, without distinction

No place in the Inn, asylum in Egypt (tags)
In contrary to the often hypocritical ''Christmas'' approach, The Birth of the Child is no sentimental story about ''A Little Child in a Manger'', but the reality of the exclusion of the poor, persecution by the State and seeking illegal asylum in a foreign country That's the reason, this Story is based on respect towards any human being, regardless descent or committed crime
The Saddam-Hussein trial and the right of any human being to a fair trial (tags)
Not only I object the imposed death-penalty on the former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein and two co-accused, also the trial itself didn't meet the international standards regarding a fair trial
