'We Love You� � that�s the message that performance artists from the Revolutionary Arts Groop will be sending out this weekend.

In a series of what artist Dan Thompson describes as �tricks, pranks and interventions in everyday life�, the group will be looking at what�s so funny about peace, love and understanding. While some events will be very public, others will happen more quietly around the town.

Al Qaeda and what it means to be modern

We are told that radical Islam is the most dynamic political movement since the fall of Communism. If that is true then much of the discussion about this phenomenon is about as intelligent as people seeing the Berlin Wall coming down in 1990 and complaining about the noise.

Any critique of radical Islam is seen as crusading from the Muslims and racism from the liberal intelligensia. Professor John Gray's book: 'Al Qaeda and what it means to be modern' is a refreshhing approach to the situation which I hope will be read widely by all sides of the argument.
