China has cancelled Christmas in Hong Kong this year. Officials have ordered that the usual celebrations be 'toned down'. It's part of a creeping intolerance that leaves churches fearing for the future, says John MacNab.

Dublin - Event Notice

Tariq Ali Visit

category dublin | anti-war / imperialism | event notice author Saturday January 21, 2006 14:56author by Jim Monaghan - PANA (peace and neutrality alliance) Report this post to the editors

Meeting ATGWU FEB 15 7-00PM

Tariq Ali

Tariq has been a significant figure in progressive politics since the
sixties. His website is
http://www.tariqali.org/
I found some difficulty getting into this, so bear with it.

He is visiting Dublin on Feb 15 for a PANA sponsored meeting. The meeting
will be in the ATGWU hall in Middle Abbey Street. The meeting will start
at 7-00 sharp (the hall closes at 9-30).
If any media people wish to interview Tariq there is a window of
opportunity before the meeting. (Please contact Roger Cole on this.)I will
pass on any requests to Roger.
It is critical that this meeting is successful. Dublin is doing well in
attracting alternative voices such as Noam Chomsky and Tariq.


Please pass the word along to any of your contact lists.

Tariq Ali comes from an Islamic background but he doesnt support the Islamic Fundamentalists who wish to censor the press. On a radio interview with Tom McGurk on Tuesday Tariq pointed out that non-religious people have to suffer annoyance from the religious every day.

I am really looking forward to hearing Tariq speak in Dublin for the first time this evening.

He is a gold-mine of information and he displays faultless logic. I have enjoyed his essays over the years and his not frequent enough appearances on Question Time and Newsnight. He is a highly intelligent, moral and incredibly cultured gentleman.

He is incredibly eloquent too and he has the ability to inspire audiences with the enthusiasm and belief that they can and should change things.

Tariq is an inspiration to us all and he puts the lie to the myth that the radical children of the 1960's who opposed the Vietnam War grew up and became good conservatives. Forty years later, Tariq is still at the spearhead of resistance to illegal wars, human rights abuses and Imperialism in all its many guises. Particularly rapacious imperialism masquerading as humanitarian intervention.

A cause for optimism in these dark times is that in 1968 , the anti Vietnam protests that Tariq famously lef, drew 65,000 people or so to Belgrave Square. In 2003, the anti-war movement in London,of which Tariq is apart, drew 2 million.

Tariq Ali has never defended N Korea or any breed of stalinism. I remember after tianemen square Tariq had a poem on the front of the Guardian about the massacre.

And he had a rocking article in the paper the other day. Something on the following lines:

It's not that the colonised peoples of Britain did not recognise the advantages of the Roman empire: hygiene, better roads, big orgies and improved military techniques. They just didn't like being enslaved.

The Roman governor of Britannia, Agricola, gazed wistfully across the Irish Sea. Ireland was a threat, because it offered the hope of freedom.

Similarly, the American empire must conquer those Middle Eastern countries that remain outside its axis: Iraq, Iran and Syria.
