Okay, I've been lazy. I haven't blogged here like I used to. But I have been keeping my LiveLeak Channel going strong. LiveLeak not only allows video hosting, but it's also a great place to blog and upload images. I'm finding my channel there gets many more views than this blog. So, while I'm not abandoning Al Salibiyyah, readers can find me there most of the time.

Pulse Of Life
Something a little different.
On May 17th, 2003, 29 people from around the world took part in a global time-lapse project, each using one cartridge of super 8 film. This is what they captured.

The Great Orator
Why can't we have politicians like this in America?
Geert Wilders speaks out about the repercussions of his film, "Fitna" and how they may affect the freedoms in the West. Read the entire speech HERE. An excerpt:
I come to the conclusion that there is a lack of leadership in the free West. Leadership to defend our freedom on behalf of us and our children. The political elites governing Western countries are themselves governed by fear. Fear of facing the truth. Fear of letting go the still prevalent ideology of cultural relativism. Fear of fighting for freedom of speech, particularly when the message expresses an inconvenient truth or is delivered by somebody with a critical or satirical view of Islam. Our freedom is being bargained away.
The ruling elite is afraid of losing the growing support of Islamic voters, afraid of the economic consequences of an anti-Islamisation policy, afraid of being less popular with the other dhimmi government leaders in the European Council. But we all know that fear is a bad counsellor. Rather than preserving our freedom, fear and political correctness will in the long term cost us our hard-won freedom.
The controversial film:

Liveleak Turning Dhimmitube?
A few weeks ago, I couldn't praise Liveleak enough for having the courage to post the controversial video "Fitna." But now I'm wondering if the backlash isn't taking its toll on the video hosting site.
In an earlier post, I directed readers to a Youtuber who shares video lessons about Islam. With the author's permission, I've been uploading the series to Liveleak using my own channel. Until Fitna came along, none had been rejected. Suddenly, without reason or explanation, the video lessons are being rejected.
I hope Liveleak hasn't fallen into the pits of censorship and dhimmitude.
UPDATE: Liveleak just contacted me and assured me it was not the content of the videos, but the number of videos I uploaded at once. It seems the system thought it was spam. Thanks, Liveleak! :)

LiveLeak Puts "Fitna" Back Up!
LiveLeak has restored Fitna!
** 30/3/2008: Liveleak Update **
On the 28th of March LiveLeak.com was left with no other choice but to remove the film "fitna" from our servers following serious threats to our staff and their families. Since that time we have worked constantly on upgrading all security measures thus offering better protection for our staff and families. With these measures in place we have decided to once more make this video live on our site. We will not be pressured into censoring material which is legal and within our rules. We apologise for the removal and the delay in getting it back, but when you run a website you don't consider that some people would be insecure enough to threaten our lives simply because they do not like the content of a video we neither produced nor endorsed but merely hosted.
