Hello everyone -

Thanks to all of you who wrote back (and especially, who wrote to RPI 
president Jackson) about this clash. Now you should know the latest: 
Wafaa Bilal's show has been restaged in the nearby Sanctuary for 
Independent Media and guess what? The police has closed it on a 
building code technicality.

See: 
http://thesanctuaryforindependentmedia.org

And for a complete strory of the affair with links:
http://thesanctuaryforindependentmedia.org/node/120

All of this is going very far and looks like a true case of hysteria. 
The symbolic gap between a cosmopolitan outlook able to understand what 
is going on from an Iraki point of view and a pure America first 
rejection of anything foreign is frightening to behold.

Your support still matters.

best, Brian
