Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs: website aimed at fighting extremism

The Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs has announced the upcoming launch of a website aimed at fighting extremism and to reform individuals with extremist views. The website, which will have sections in Arabic and in English, is aimed at Muslim audiences worldwide. It will in_clu_de forums for debating controversial issues like takfir (accusing other Muslims of heresy) and al-walaa wal-baraa. [1]

The site is to be operated by the Al-Sakinah Campaign, an independent Saudi initiative supported by the Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs. The campaign initiates dialogue with extremists on the Internet with the aim of preventing the spread of extremist views. [2]

In an interview with the Saudi daily Al-Riyadh, the public relations director of the Al-Sakinah Campaign, Khaled Al-Mushawwah, provided details on the planned site.


The Website Will Contribute to the War on Extremism

"The [Al-Sakinah] Campaign is about to step up [its activities] with the launching of a very big site that the campaign is currently working on. We have [already] contracted a large firm to construct it in the best possible manner. The primary goal of the site is to display the efforts of the Al-Sakinah Campaign in fighting extremist and deviant ideology, to correct [aberrant] views, and to explain the position of shari'a on questions like terrorist activity and takfir. The site also aims to propagate the correct ideology and to publish materials related to the campaign's activities, e.g. fatwas by senior 'ulama and sheikhs as well as studies on [relevant] issues. The site aims to take part in proper [Islamic] da'wa and to spread the correct views regarding Islam..."


The Site Will Be In Arabic and English

"The site will benefit Muslims worldwide. There will be a section in Arabic and a section in English. [The site will serve] preachers and individuals who seek knowledge on the [Islamic] faith, from all over the world. It will in_clu_de advanced forums on various controversial issues like takfir, the presence of infidels in the Arabian Peninsula, [the principle of] al-walaa wal-baraa, and the heated debate surrounding these [issues].

"The site will have several sections: The first section will introduce the [Al-Sakinah] Campaign. The second will contain an audio-library that the campaign has been compiling for a long time... There will also be a library [of texts], containing over 10,000 pages of books and studies... and a library of video clips featuring interviews with individuals who have renounced [their extremist views], including TV interviews with them and the conversations [that the campaign activists] conducted with them on the Internet.

"There will also be a media section, containing [media] reports about the campaign and its goals, and [we] will monitor [the media] for articles by columnists and intellectuals about issues of terrorism and extremism... There will be a section for fatwas by 'ulama... and a special section devoted to individuals who have returned to the right path. This section will in_clu_de clips from TV [interviews with] these individuals as well as the dialogues conducted by the campaign [activists] with some of them..."


We Decided to Set Up the Site in Response to Requests from All Over the World

Al-Mushawwah said further that "the site, [which] will be very large... will be launched in the upcoming months, and may be completed by the end of the year... Initially," he added "the campaign had no intention of setting up a site. But in light of the many requests we received from inside and outside Saudi Arabia, from some of the Gulf states and from [other] countries around the world, and even from some Islamic centers in Europe, [we] decided that we must share our unique experience by [setting up] a website, so that everyone will be able to benefit from this experience..."


Religious Leaders, Not the Extremists Themselves, Are the Site's Primary Target Audience
ANNOUNCED Oct 12 2006, 07:33 PM

WELL WHERE IS IT?

movie "The Matrix" could be sent in a few seconds

By ANICK JESDANUN, AP Internet Writer Tue Apr 24, 6:33 PM ET

NEW YORK - A group of researchers led by the University of Tokyo has broken Internet speed records — twice in two days. Operators of the high-speed Internet2 network announced Tuesday that the researchers on Dec. 30 sent data at 7.67 gigabits per second, using standard communications protocols.

The next day, using modified protocols, the team broke the record again by sending data over the same 20,000-mile path at 9.08 Gbps.

That likely represents the current network's final record because rules require a 10 percent improvement for recognition, a percentage that would bring the next record right at the Internet2's current theoretical limit of 10 Gbps.

However, the Internet2 consortium is planning to build a new network with a capacity of 100 Gbps. With the 10-fold increase, a high-quality version of the movie "The Matrix" could be sent in a few seconds rather than half a minute over the current Internet2 and two days over a typical home broadband line.

Researchers used the newer Internet addressing system, called IPv6, to break the records in December. Data started in Tokyo and went to Chicago, Amsterdam and Seattle before returning to Tokyo. The previous high of 6.96 Gbps was set in November 2005.

Speed records under the older addressing system, IPv4, are in a separate category and stand at 8.8 Gbps, set in February 2006.

The Internet2 is run by a consortium of more than 200 U.S. university. It is currently working to merge with another ultrahigh-speed, next-generation network, National LambdaRail.

The announcement of the new record was made at the Internet2 consortium's spring meeting, which ends Wednesday in Arlington, Va.

where is the computer going

Lets look:

First we have Ipod, actually a hard drive on our hip.

Second we have the cel phone with that one little 1" screen.

Third we have white spaces in local tv channels.

Fourth MS NEW OS has voice recognition.

now lets mix them together.

Ipod picks up a operating system, and increases size.

cell phone grows a second screen, and ear handles.

and the white space is picked up by internet broad band.

SO NOW WE HAVE A WEARABLE PC, VOICE ACTIVATED, CELL PHONE HAS MORPHED INTO GLASSES WITH TWO STEREO VIEW SCREENS. AND CONNECTED TO INTERNET VIA CHEAP TV SIGNALS, FOR COUNTRY WIDE SERVICE.

eventually WE WILL HAVE A CHIP INSERTED INTO OUR HAND THAT IS OUR LIFE TIME HARD DRIVE, WITH WIFI YOU NEED TO SIMPLY BRING YOUR HAND NEAR A TERMINAL AND INPUT PASSWORDS, OR FINGER PRINT TO ACCESS YOUR PERMANENT HARD DRIVE.
