A British nonprofit for Muslim youth has launched a "Jihad against ISIS" campaign aimed at dissuading teenagers from joining the Islamic State group. The Muslim Youth League UK declared last weekend "ideological war" against the extremists, who have become known in recent months for robust online recruiting efforts that lure young adults to Syria. The group plans to use social media to spread messages of peace. "All extremists are cancers to society, because they destroy a healthy society," Shayk Rehan Ahmed Raza, the group's president, told STV News. "We have to scream at the top of our lungs that these people are not representative of Muslims."

Stop the Premiers' Pipeline Fast-Track Deal

Details

Published on Tuesday, 31 March 2015 09:15

Friends,

Last week we got some disturbing news: Canada's premiers are writing a national climate deal that could be used as cover to fast track dangerous tar sands pipeline approvals across the country.

On April 14th, the premiers are meeting in Quebec to negotiate. Click here to sign on, and make sure they know that Canada can't lead on climate while digging up the tar sands.

We know that 85% of the tar sands need to stay underground in order to meet Canada's climate obligations. That means winding down pipelines, not building more of them, and committing to leave fossil fuels in the ground.

Big Oil is already planning at least five tar sands export pipelines, including the massive Energy East project. If they get their way, they'll dig up enough dirty tar sands oil to blow away Canada's climate goals.

It's simple: if Canada is building more pipelines, it means we're producing more tar sands...

SYRIZA's Two Months in Government:
Difficulties and Challenges

Elena Papadopoulou and Michalis Spourdalakis

The First Round of Negotiations

Almost a month after the agreement of the 20th of February between the new Greek government, the European Institutions and the IMF, we need to know where we stand. "We" in this case is not the government. It is not even Syriza's members and voters. "We" includes all those who understand the necessity of a strong democratic reply to aggressive neoliberalism and the austerity it imposes on the people of Europe, and who perceive the victory of Syriza as a gleam of hope against a conservative and reactionary turn of Europe. It extends to all democratic and politically liberal citizens who worry about the fate of...

New Canadian Counterterrorism Law Threatens Environmental Groups

Details

Published on Monday, 30 March 2015 16:30

Geraldine Thomas-Flurer, who campaigns for environmental protection on behalf of indigenous First Nations in Canada, wasn’t surprised when, in 2012, she found out that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police had been keeping tabs on her. The Toronto Star that year obtained documents showing that federal police had monitored private meetings held between her coalition and local environmental groups.

Now she just laughs when asked whether she’s comforted by assurances from government officials that new surveillance and policing powers outlined under a proposed Canadian Anti-Terror Law wouldn’t be aimed at peaceful protesters.

The passage of the terrorism bill would represent a new “open season on First Nations who are speaking out,” she says.
