Indigenous Peoples Day: Replacing Columbus Day - (USA)
The idea of replacing Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day was not a new one. It was first proclaimed by representatives of Native nations and participants at the United Nations-sponsored International Conference on Discrimination Against Indigenous Populations in the Americas, which took place in 1977 in Geneva, Switzerland. The declaration of this body was applauded and echoed by Native peoples around the globe.Indigenous peoples and human rights/peace/social justice/environmental organiza

Muslims celebrate 4th of July: Centuries of being part of America - (USA)
Muslims in America celebrate centuries of being part and parcel of this land. Muslims have been in America before Columbus and before the Europeans came to these shores. Muslims were an integral part of the Native American society and Muslims came to America with Columbus on his ships. Muslims also arrived in America on slave ships and finally Muslims came to the USA as immigrants. Islam in America is everywhere. One just has to look for it. From Caliph Haronia (California), to Allah-Bumya

Towards The New Malay - (USA)
[Talk given at a forum at the University of Buffalo, on November 1, 2008, themed “Alif Ba Ta, Towards the New Malay,” organized by Kelab UMNO New York-New Jersey. The contents here are from my book Towards A Competitive Malaysia.] Whenever the theme of this conference (or variations thereof, as with the “Malay Problem” or “Malay Dilemma”) is discussed, whether in the hallowed halls of Putrajaya or the warong kopi in Kota Baru, the various arguments expounded could be crystallized around two m

Darien's Brendan Blindsided on 'Survivor' - (USA)
He was one of the smartest contestants on this season's "Survivor" and one of its biggest physical threat. Darien native Brendan Synnott, 30, is a successful entrepreneur so it wasn't surprising he could organize the show's cross-tribe alliance. But he wasn't smart enough to play the hidden immunity idol he admitted he had at tribal council. And by delaying reconnecting with his alliance in the other tribe, Taj and Stephen were already plotting against him last week (when Joe's going home du

One of the biggest false meme floating around is that this society simply needs

CD reviews: K’Jon, Fruit Bats, Pictureplane - (USA)
K’Jon, “I Get Around” (Universal Republic) K’Jon’s debut, “I Get Around,” is a hybrid of modern R&B and vintage soul that offers more of the former than the latter. Songs like “I’ll Never Forget” and “On Everything” burst at the seams with stock keyboard tones and swooping, shimmering cymbals. Accordingly, many will write this record off as just another collection of slow jams to soundtrack some late-night cruising. By in large, however, the flagrant over-production on this album actua

On Sonia Sotomayor and the Process of Inclusion - (USA)
I have thought long and hard about writing this post about Judge Sonia Sotomayor and the racial debate touched off by what I think is a misreading of her 2001 speech , "A Latina Judge's Voice." By now,you know the speech I'm talking about -- the one including the quote, "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."

Aborigines' Role in Sydney - (USA)
The Aboriginal people have shaped the culture of Sydney. In order to sense the prominence of the culture, one can glance at a map, visit the beach, or attend a university. The Aboriginal culture is clearly the backbone of Sydney’s culture. Interestingly enough, there is a strong correlation between Sydney’s Aboriginal people and the culture of my American hometown. The town of Norwich, Connecticut has a thriving Native American population who contribute to the booming econ

Tongue of Warcraft, Part One - (USA)
BOULDER, CO-I’ve studied martial arts most of my life, but I don’t enjoy watching fistfights. Sure, I sometimes watch MMA bouts, mostly as an exercise in making sense of techniques I learned in my Jujutsu days. But I am a salacious voyeur of one class of fights, one that weighs more in murderous intent than in mere blood. When it comes to fights over language, I’m part Don King, part corner, part cut man, part ringside rat, but never referee nor pugilist. This is the first of a few pieces about
