Blog
Project Update: Thank you for your responses to the
survey. Because we had enough interest, a sample blog has been created. Some of
the submitted topics include: (1) Sharia Law and human rights. Role of big
business (eg. big oil) in areas known for human rights abuses. Defense of
ecology and human rights abuses. (2) I am a new member to the group so I am
open to learning more about AI's history in general, both internationally and
locally. Background information to current campaigns would be helpful too. (3)
The difficulties of separating politics and human rights issues. The
uncomfortable feeling of interfering with another government’s policies. (4)
The concern over an Islamic backlash. Current terrorist events are not
reflective of Islam. and (5) Abuses by intelligence agencies and related
concerns. Watch for more information about our "Open Forum" blog.
