The only commercial sign templates I've seen have been simple block letters, due to the limitation of the template needing to be a single, continuous structure. For a script-style "font", I think you'll have to go free-hand, using printed letters glued to the surface as guides. One of the problems with free-handing is having sufficient surface for the router base to rest upon. An over-sized base, or skis, can help in that regard.

Hi RustySaw: Welcome to the Router Forums!! If you're getting into sign making on a serious basis (like doing it as a business), you might want to invest in something like the Milescraft 3DPantograph (Milescraft - Universal Power Tool Attachments & Accessories - Routers - 3D Pantograph). Using this one could create one's own letter templates and then use those templates to make signs. Just an idea. Cassandra | ||

Those templates are just for starters, right? One can always make one's own. For example, go into MS Word, look up a font one likes and then type in the letters one needs. After adjusting the FONT SIZE to an appropriate size and after putting reference marks (for example, underscores), print out the letters. The attached PDF file contains a sample of what can be easily accomplished with something like Word. Font is 480 pt Segoe Script. Cassandra Attached Files

Don't sell yourself short, I am also a newbie and my wife tells me that sometimes my freehand stuff is better than the things I stenciled and then routed. Try it on some old or bad pieces of wood, you may be shocked. It may also help is you just box you lettering for spacing and size and then free hand between the lines. Good luck. | ||

Blog, portfolio, creative agency, photography website, small business or any other related website. Vulcano was intended to showcase your latest works/projects in a special, creative way.
Vulcano is a Creative WordPress Theme with clean, minimalist design, smooth transition effects, a beautiful portfolio and a rich set of advanced features powered by our updated version of Tesla Framework.
We've packed Vulcano with our latest features like responsive design with full width elements, built-in shortcodes, social media integration, filterable portfolio, AJAX contact form and newsletter subscription, Google Maps with drag & drop functionality and much more.
If you want to showcase your works in a creative manner, this template is definitely for you.
If we compare Vulcano with other themes, then the main difference is the "Start a project panel". On Vulcano, this feature is located on the main page while on Winterfell it is located in the "Our projects" page, which somehow may influence the conversion rate.
Another difference between Vulcano and other themes is the "About Us" page, which has all three most important elements in it: Impressive design, a "Skills" panel and a column showcasing your services. Beside Vulcano, only Shape has an impressive design of the about us page, but it does not feature the "skills" and the "services" panel, so it is not optimized for selling services as Vulcano is.
Vulcano is powered by Tesla Framework, a powerful administration tool that comprises all our great features and allows you to easily customize the look and functionality of your theme, without advanced knowledge of programming. You can customize and manage your theme settings from a dedicated area within your WordPress Admin.
Update: We've introduced some new cool features to our Tesla Framework v 1.1:
Check out some of the cool features that Tesla Framework has to offer:
Responsive Design – the design fits ideally and looks great on a wide range of devices and screen resolutions. This means that the layout will adjust and look accordingly on all desktop computers, laptops, smartphones or tablets.
Filterable Portfolio – a beautiful portfolio with smooth transition effects, to showcase your latest works in a creative manner. Any item within portfolio includes an image slider, a brief info about the project and related works.
Built-in Shortcodes – we've created a rich set of shortcodes to facilitate the process of creating new elements (no web development skills required). You can use shotcodes to create headings, columns, buttons, tabs, pricing tables and more.
Social Media Support – the most popular social media services integrated: Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, Flickr and more. Additionally, you can integrate your Twitter feed in a dedicated area within your template.
AJAX Contact Form – a useful feature that allows users to send their messages instantly, without reloading the webpage. This makes the contact form a prompt and useful channel for feedback.
Custom Posts – dedicated area in your WordPress admin where you can easily add new predefined elements (portfolio items, services, team members, partners, etc.). All posts are customizable and are tailored to the design of the layout.
Google Maps – the most popular service to represent your geographical location integrated. There is no need to paste the embedded code from Google Maps. Simply search for your location or navigate through maps and easily set up your location.
The template comes with extensive HTML documentation with snapshots and step by step instructions to help you easily set up and customize your website.
Great theme.. looks professional and sexy. Gonna promote it where you commented..?? http://wpvkp.com/best-wordpress-portfolio-themes/
Hey guys. Like the theme but was really drawn in by the hexagon shapes. Where'd they go?
Great theme, but not work so good mobile version on internet explorer, the menu does't close
Hi, great theme – can you tell me if the colour can be customised too? Does it have to be green or can i change this? Thanks!
Working on building this site currently. How do I make the secondary pages / pages of posts to be a full screen / responsive layout?
please help Trying to embed the button (type 2) into the theme home template. There is a short code provided for the button, but this doesn't work when you edit the theme files.
How do I Insert the button into the theme file? What is the html code for this/
Thank you!
Hi there… Is there a way we can change the URL structure of the portfolio? For example, the page url of a single portfolio post is currently website.com/portfolio/title Can we make the permalink for a portfolio post website.com/title ?
Thanks for your assistance once again and sorry to nag with questions. I love Tesla themes and if I can crack these challenges I'll be loyal forever!

About KaBOOM! KaBOOM! is the national non-profit dedicated to saving play. Children today spend less time playing outdoors than any previous generation, a fact that is having disastrous consequences on their health, achievement levels, and overall well-being. To fight this play deficit, social entrepreneur Darell Hammond founded non-profit KaBOOM! in 1996 in Washington, D.C. with a vision of creating a great place to play within walking distance of every child in America. Since then, KaBOOM! has mapped over 90,000 places to play, built more than 2,100 playgrounds, and successfully advocated for play policies in hundreds of cities across the country. KaBOOM! also provides communities with online tools to self-organize and take action to support play on both a local and national level. Hammond chronicles the founding of the organization and the importance of the cause of play in his The New York Times Best Seller KaBOOM!: A Movement to Save Play, now out in paperback. The book details how businesses and communities can work together to save play for children across the country. All author proceeds support KaBOOM!. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., KaBOOM! also has offices in Chicago and San Mateo, Calif. For more information, visit www.kaboom.org.

Virginia Tech Wide Receiver Dyrell Roberts Runs With Scissors After Making Strange Discovery (Video)
Originally written on
Last updated 11/18/14
Dyrell Roberts broke one of life's fundamental rules on Saturday. He ran with scissors. Roberts' blatant disregard for societal norms actually occurred on the gridiron, as the Virginia Tech wide receiver discovered a pair of scissors during the first quarter of the Hokies' game against North Carolina. Roberts picked up the scissors and quickly tried to get the officials' attention while the Tar Heels lined up for a play. The refs at first didn't recognize Roberts' efforts, though, leaving us wondering what would have happened had Roberts played a down with the scissors in his hand. Clearly, that would have...

Two Algerian-Filipino women abducted by Abu Sayyaf fighters in the Philippines island province of Sulu eight months ago have escaped, authorities said on Friday.
Colonel Jojo Cenabre, commander of the 2nd Marine Brigade in Sulu, said the women took advantage of an ongoing military operation against the Islamist group to escape.
"Like what happened in previous instances, [the Abu Sayyaf] left their victims," Cenabre said.
Government troops found Nadjoua and Linda Bansil in Buhanginan village in Patikul town around 6pm yesterday.
Abu Sayyaf, which has been linked to the al-Qaeda terror network, abducted the Bansil sisters on June 22 last year in Patikul town. The bandits initially demanded $67,000 for their release.
The women had traveled to the island to make a documentary about the lives of poor coffee farmers on Sulu.
The Bansil sisters were born in Algeria to an Algerian mother and a Filipino father but grew up in the Philippines, where they have produced several films in recent years.
Last September, the Abu Sayyaf abducted two Catholic Church workers in Basilan province. Frederick Banot, 24, and Cherden Masong, 25, who worked for the Claretian Missionary Fathers in Basilan, were freed 43 days later in Sulu province.
In 2000, the Abu Sayyaf killed Claretian priest Rhoel Gallardo at the end of a six week hostage crisis that involved four teachers and 22 students of the Church-run Claret School of Tumahubong town in Basilan province.
Abu Sayyaf militants, who are active in the provinces of Sulu and Basilan, continue to hold about a dozen hostages, including two European bird watchers who were kidnapped two years ago.
The US State Department has listed the Abu Sayyaf as a terrorist organization.

A farmer in the communist collective of Xiaogang, a small village in eastern China, was starving, along with his family and his neighbors.

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul noted on Tuesday that efforts to rein in government spending appeared to be in vain, due to an agreement reached with the White House during the recent debt ceiling negotiations. Congress would have to pass a joint resolution to oppose any extension of the debt ceiling, which President Obama is free to veto. Said Paul: "A default is becoming more mathematically unavoidable with ... every debt ceiling increase."

Upgrade your ship, buy weapons, collect coins and escape from the Very Bad Planet in this fast-paced action/arcade game!
Some explanations, hope they help:
- The indicators of the health and ammo are at the bottom of the screen
- The ammo indicatoir appears when you buy and equip a gun (by clicking on the gun in the shop and then Use button) and increase the maximum ammo number.
EDIT: Just made a little update, hope you like it:
- Coins have slightly bigger hitbox, now it's easier to collect them
- The difficulty of the game when closer to the end is increasing, adding some more challenge
- After the teleporting is completed, the ship is indestructible for a few seconds, so it won't suddenly run into walls:)

This game is simple in concept, but nice in design. I liked how as you progressed through the different colours, all colours changed, including the lasers.
There are a few things that would be better though, here are my suggestions.
When getting upgrades at the start of the game, it's really easy to get the best stuff up first, thus avoiding any of the previous purchases. I suggest making them more expensive so that people have to work a bit at getting the weaponry, thus increasing the difficulty of the game. Even having the gun as upgradable is an idea, that way you go through all the different purchases, or can upgrade multiple times to speed up the progress. This can also go for the money collector.
After getting all upgrades and purchases, you tend to get a lot of extra money. It might be an idea to utilise more once-per-game upgrades, like the bomb. An item to fully replenish your health and bullets, to slow down the game, temporary invincibility, all are valid ideas, see which one sits with you best.
A few suggestions for fixing. When the laser things are destroyed, sometimes they leave behind part of a laser that still hurts you. Also, it might be an idea to add some instructions, even a one page screen with arrows pointing to most of the stuff, shield power, bullet power and their respective guns, money, distance and other things. This is a great place to sort of 'advertise' your upgrades in the shop.
Also, at the end of the game, maybe having words scroll across as someone passes past the red zone, something like '... I did it...' adds a little more in terms of story, and gives a somewhat more satisfactory ending.
Despite all these things to change, the actual game is pretty neat, and I'm happy to have played it. It's simple but not in a way that makes it look like you made it too 'cheap'. Also, most of the errors are minor, and it seems you caught the worst mistakes early. I'm impressed, and really want to use some concepts you've got in the game when I get good at flash programming.
Good work!
Hi, thank you for the detailed feedback! I guess if just I gather all the small (and not so small) things people suggested here I can make a second version of the game, which will be much better than this one:).
Rated 3 / 5 stars
By far easiest game i have ever played beat it on my first try and couldnt really get the consept or the story of it is kinda just putting you out there but it was ok so 3 stars
dX) D$
Thanks for the fair feedback, more difficulty levels is the thing I would add in a sequel to this game if it appears somewhere in the future.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Good, I like the simplistic style. Also limiting hp and bullets was a good decision (?)
Though it was a bit easy. After playing one round, i could already buy the best gun. Of course, this wasn't very useful since i only had 2 bullets and even tapping your mouse will shoot both, so the gun speed is a bit too fast. It was also pretty short. In the future if you make a similar game, please add more levels - maybe 3. Also, a boss fight would be nice. When I got to the red, I was expecting one, but that was just the end of the game. Fun, held my attention enough to finish. One last thing: I would like if you made achievements for Newgrounds as well as in game. 4/5 :)
Thanks you for the feedback! If I make some kinf of sequel, I will definitely add arcade mode with infinite play.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Very addictive game, nice music and nice retro graphics.
Here's some suggestions (high to low priority):
* Implement medals!
* Automatically "USE" the weapon you buy... if the player bough a new weapon why he shouldn't want to use it right away?
* What about collecting stats during the game and showing them on menu/shop? time played, obstacle/enemies killed, money collected, bonus collected (helpful to know how far from getting "100 Bonus" achievement).
* Expand the ending a little when the player complete with all achievements (should be nice for the player to be better recognized for all his efforts).
* Add "All coins collected" and "Finished without getting hit" achievements.
Hey, that's a very good suggestions, especially about stats and different ending for the best players. Thank you very much!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Great, but it was too easy for me. Actually I could survive to the end with no single gun equipped... Like TuXiLLO says below, you could add some boss battle (maybe when the background color changes?). As for me, further update for coin attractor (like its attracting power gets bigger, or doubles coin value) or something like that would make the game a little more interesting.
And one more thing - go-back-to-menu feature (during the game) could also be added.
Anyway this is very interesting game! Keep working:)
Hi, thank you! Yes, the game is easy for experienced gamers, I see it now. In the future, will make several difficulty modes.

Description 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates generally to stereotactic frames for use in stereotactic surgery, and is more particularly concerned with a frame holder for positioning a stereotactic frame with respect to an imaging system. 2. Description of the Prior Art Stereotactic surgery requires that a particular point, for example in the head, be located by coordinates in three dimensional space. Currently, this is accomplished through the use of a stereotactic frame which has a coordinate system in conjunction therewith. With the patient in the stereotactic frame, images are made of the patient, using computer aided tomography (CAT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or some comparable imaging system. The reference marks specifying the coordinate system of the stereotactic frame are visible on the images permitting calculation of coordinates of a chosen point. Those skilled in the art will understand that the stereotactic frame defines a volume of three dimensional space, thereby allowing a positional description of any point in that defined volume to be made via the specified coordinate system. As a result, the surgeon must rely on the coordinate system to compute the precise location intended for surgery. It will therefore be understood that the attitude of the stereotactic frame with respect to the imaging device is important. A misalignment between the stereotactic frame and the imaging device will cause the coordinate reference markers on the stereotactic frame to be misaligned in the images. The mathematics of calculating the coordinates of a given point in the space defined by the stereotactic frame are significantly more complex without proper alignment of the stereotactic frame and the imaging system. In making images of a patient's head using MRI, the head is placed within a "head coil" which is a transceiver for the radio-frequency (RF) signals of interest. The head coil defines a central opening for receiving the patient's head, and for receiving the head with a stereotactic frame thereon for stereotactic surgery. It is here that alignment is important. The stereotactic frame is preferably precisely aligned with the head coil in order to facilitate coordinate calculation. The usual efforts at aligning a stereotactic frame with the head coil comprise attempting to prop up various portions of the frame with towels or the like. It will be understood that the material used must be carefully selected. Metals will redirect, or shield, the signals of interest, and numerous other materials will produce signals of their own. Ferrous metals cannot safely be placed in the room holding the MRI scanner due to the strength of the corresponding magnetic field and the risk of resulting movement. Thus, towels are commonly used in attempts to hold the frame in place. Since towels are deformable, they must be packed carefully. Even so, the frame frequently moves with respect to the head coil after imaging has begun. A shift in the frame may render calculation more difficult if the shift is before the actual scan, or may require a new scan if the shift is during the scan. The present invention provides means for supporting a stereotactic frame with respect to an imaging device to assure proper alignment of the coordinate system in the images. The stereotactic frame is fixed to the patient; then, the stereotactic frame is inserted into the frame holder of the present invention. The frame holder of the present invention is then inserted into the imaging device, and the frame holder is so dimensioned that the frame holder, hence the stereotactic frame, is held in the desired attitude. In one embodiment of the invention, the base ring of the stereotactic frame has dovetails along three sides thereof, and the frame holder includes means for receiving one or more of these dovetails for attachment of the stereotactic frame to the frame holder. A support block is provided for assuring proper alignment of the frame with the frame support. Since the stereotactic frame is held to the frame holding device, alignment of the coordinate system is assured. One axis of the coordinate system is parallel to the base ring of the frame, and the frame is secured to the frame holder. Thus, the coordinate system will be properly aligned. These and other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from consideration of the following specification when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which: FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration showing the use of magnetic resonance imaging utilizing a head coil; FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the head coil illustrated in FIG. 1, and a stereotactic frame and a stereotactic frame holder made in accordance with the present invention; FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view showing the frame holder illustrated in FIG. 2; FIG. 4 is a fragmentary detail view showing the means for locking the frame to the frame holder; and, FIG. 5 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the frame holder shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, with a stereotactic frame therein. Referring now more particularly to the drawings, and to that embodiment of the invention here presented by way of illustration, FIG. 1 shows the main coil 10 of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device, and a platform 11 to receive the patient P. As here shown, the head of the patient P is within a head coil 12. Those skilled in the art will understand that the coil 10 is energized to produce a magnetic field. The magnetic field excites selected substances in the body of the patient, and molecules of the selected substance emit a signal that is detected, for example by the head coil 12. The signals are detected, and are stored with both the intensity of the signal and the particular angle from the receiver. The plurality of vectors is then assembled into an image. FIG. 2 shows the head coil 12, and it can be seen that the head coil 12 defines a central cylindrical opening 14 for receiving the head of the patient to be imaged. FIG. 2 also illustrates a stereotactic frame 15 that will be fixed to the head of a patient in order to make images for use in stereotactic surgery. The stereotactic frame includes a base ring 16 having attaching posts 18 mounted thereon. The attaching posts 18 are fixed to the head of the patient, and can be moved with respect to the base ring 16 so the patient's head can be appropriately located within the frame 15. The frame 15 allows attachment of right and left side reference plates, and front and top reference plates. These reference plates contain marker lines which are visible on the scan images and thereby define the coordinate system for use with the frame. It will be understood that stereotactic frames made by different manufacturers will have different coordinate systems, and different reference indicators or the like on the stereotactic frame or attachments. Thus, the particular frame here disclosed is by way of illustration only. In the frame 15 here illustrated, the lines 22 are hollow tubes defined in the reference plates. These tubes can be filled with an appropriate liquid and will appear as lines or dots on the image generated by the MRI device. It should be noted that the line 22A is parallel to the base ring 16, and the lines 22B are perpendicular to the line 22A and to the base ring 16. With the above discussion in mind, it will be realized that the centerline of the frame 15 will preferably be coaxial with the centerline of the opening 14 in the head coil. More importantly, the base ring 16, and the lines 22A, should be precisely perpendicular to the long axis of the head coil. Such an arrangement will simplify calculations with the coordinate system for locating points of interest for surgery. It is here that the prior art is deficient. The prior art provides that the surgeons and/or technicians doing the imaging must prop up the stereotactic frame 15 on towels, surgical drapes and the like in an effort to hold the frame in the preferred attitude. Even if one is successful in propping up the frame 15, there is no assurance that the frame will not shift just before, or during, the actual imaging. The solution to the problem as provided by the present invention comprises a stereotactic frame holder generally designated at 24. The frame holder 24 is superior to the prior art in that the frame holder receives, and is locked to, the stereotactic frame 15; then, the frame holder is coaxially received by the head coil 12. The frame holder 24 is dimensioned so that the frame holder cannot move radially with respect to the head coil. Looking at the frame holder 24 in more detail, there is a base member 25 which is designed, to receive the base ring 16 of the frame 15. The base member 25 is arranged so the frame 15 will be positioned within the frame holder 24 coaxially, and this arrangement will be discussed in more detail hereinafter. The frame holder 24 includes a top member 26 axially aligned with the base member 25. The base member 25 and the top member 26 are held in their spatial relationship by a plurality of rods 28. In view of the weight of the stereotactic frame, and especially considering the forces exerted by the frame when a patient's head is within the frame, it is preferable not to rely solely on the base member 25 to support the frame 15. Thus, there is a support block 29 fixed to the top member 26, the block 29 being so placed as to bear against the upper portion of the frame 15. In the embodiment of the invention here presented, the opening 14 in the head coil 12 is cylindrical, so the top member 25 and the base member 25 of the frame holder 24 are circular in shape. Those skilled in the art will note that the shape and size of the top member 24 and the base member 25 may vary to suit the particular MRI scanner. Looking next at FIG. 3 of the, drawings it can be more clearly seen that the base member 25 has a generally circular outer perimeter, with an opening 30 that is shaped to receive the octagonal base ring 16 through one edge of the octagon is omitted on the base member. Since the shape is to coincide with the shape of the base ring 16 of the stereotactic frame 15, those skilled in the art will understand that the shape of the opening 30 may vary to suit the particular stereotactic frame being used. Further, the periphery of the opening 30 is designed to receive the base ring 16 of the stereotactic frame 15 in locking relationship. The frame 15 here illustrated includes dovetails 31 on three sides of the base ring 16, and the base member 25 of the frame holder 24 is arranged to cooperate with these dovetails. It will be understood that there are no dovetails on the short sides at the corners of the frame 15. The sides 32 and 34 of the opening 30 are formed with dovetail grooves 35 and 36 sized to receive the dovetails 31. The back of the opening 30 defines a groove 38 wide enough to receive the base ring 16 without the locking arrangement. As a result, the base ring 16 can be engaged with the dovetails 31 and grooves 35 and 36 interengaged. The frame 15 can then be slid into the frame holder until the rear of the frame 15 is stopped by the rear groove 38. At this point, the frame 15 will also engage the block 29. One of the dovetail engagements is shown more clearly in FIG. 4 where the base ring 16 is shown fragmentarily simply to show the engagement. It can also be seen in FIG. 4 that one might manufacture the frame holder 24 in two or more pieces if desired. The base member 25 can be molded, machined, or otherwise formed, with a uniform, wide groove therein. A separate piece 37 can then be inserted in the sides 32 and 34 to create the dovetail grooves 35 and 36. The multiple piece manufacture has the advantages both of simpler manufacture and of allowing different materials to be used. By way of example, one might use a good structural material for most of the frame holder 24, and use a good bearing material for the piece 37. Those skilled in the art will readily select appropriate materials for the specific design. Nevertheless, one successful embodiment of the invention has been made of "Delrin" acetyl (polyoxymethylene), which has both good strength and good bearing properties. From the foregoing, it will be understood that, in the use of the present invention, a stereotactic frame such as the frame 15 will be fixed to the head of a patient P, then the frame 15 will be slid into the frame holder 24. The base ring 16 of the frame is locked to the frame holder so the axes of the coordinate system are parallel and perpendicular to the frame holder. The frame holder 24 is then coaxially received by the opening in the head coil 12. The frame, frame holder and coil are therefore held in the desired positions so the coordinate system is properly aligned with the imaging system for ease in calculations. It will of course be understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiment of the invention here presented is by way of illustration only, and is meant to be in no way restrictive; therefore, numerous changes and modifications may be made, and the full use of equivalents resorted to, without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as outlined in the appended claims.

Activists of the network Women Living Under Muslim Laws (WLUML) discuss
these issues
in a live interactive web-cast discussion at
October 16 - 18, 2001
of discussion: Focusing on the tragic and horrific events of September
11, 2001 in the United States, participants stressed the pressing need
for peace, justice, political restraint, and commitment to respect of all
human rights. They explored the root causes of such heinous terrorist acts
from a multiplicity of perspectives-- politics, economics, development,
democracy, human rights, feminism, and peace.
Women´s PEACECASTS Project grew from several existing ideas and projects
to rise to the occasion of the attack September 11 on the United States.
From a initial core of participants, it is designed to expand outward and
involve many and varied women in discussion across boundaries of nations,
groups, philosophies, and also languages.

Living Under Muslim Laws
We know that indiscriminate violence and terrorism
by state and non-state actors are a global phenomenon. We are particularly
aware of the human cost of terrorism and war frequently perpetrated in
the name of religion or belief systems. However we regard all of these
as assaults on the principle of respect for civilian life.
Vengeance is not Justice
Violence cannot eradicate terrorism. Many people
in our communities are deeply distressed by these events but many are at
the same time also angered by the poverty and deprivation, injustice and
exploitation they experience; they are also angered by domestic and foreign
policies that they perceive to be hypocritical. All of this can fuel extreme
and violent attitudes. Ending terrorism requires addressing the roots of
global inequality.
Misguided Retaliation?
And yet the current focus of retaliation is
against one person and one country. If the US is talking about taking action
against "those harboring terrorists" it should consider that the US and
the UK have both become safe havens for those who openly advocate violence
against those who do not share their opinions. For example, Anouar Haddam,
a leader of the Algerian Islamic Salvation Front, is currently seeking
asylum in the US and numerous
We are concerned that legitimate grief is being
exploited as a cover for increased military spending - weapons that are
aimed mainly at civilian populations. Such military action will cause further
suffering to civilians elsewhere. After 20 years of war, Afghanistan is

International Solidarity Network
Statement on the attacks in
the USA, 21 September 2001
The network Women Living Under Muslim Laws
(WLUML) wishes to extend its deepest condolences to the aggrieved, their
families and the people of America following the crimes against humanity
that were committed on 11 September 2001. Our sorrow is particularly heartfelt
because many of those linked through the WLUML network have directly experienced
terror and the devastation that goes with it. And also because of our links
of solidarity with allies in the women's movements and other progressive
people in the US.
We urge the US and their allies not to pursue
fruitless retaliation with military force. The world must focus on transparent
investigation and bring the perpetrators to justice under the principles
of international law through an appropriate forum such as an International
Criminal Court (ICC).
It is WLUML's experience that terrorism in
the name of Islam is a trans-national force. Politico-religious movements
across the world are reinforcing each other through funding, military training,
educational exchanges, joint international lobbying, etc. The profound
impact on women can be seen, for example, through restrictions on access
to education and limitations imposed on freedom of movement as well as
changes in family laws that severely curtail women's legal rights.
politico-religious extremists are operating
out of the UK. Human rights concepts such as freedom of expression have
been misused by some international human rights organisations as well as
manipulated by governments and co-opted by politico-religious extremists,
thereby giving unwarranted space and credibility to such views. Also Saudi
Arabia has been bankrolling extremist Madrassahs in Pakistan where many
Taliban supporters are being trained. It should be remembered that Bin
Laden and the Taliban emerged in the context of Cold War confrontation
and the vacuum of its aftermath. Global reaction should not be determined
by US political and economic interests alone.
are not Afghanistan.
The demonising of 'the other' has already
increased, resulting in violent attacks on innocent individuals. Talk of
'crusades' is buying into the agenda of the perpetrators, at the risk of
world war. Already the situation has given public exposure to previously
unheard of fringe groups. And already there have been moves towards sweeping
restrictions on civil liberties under the guise of this crisis. In those
countries which will bear the brunt of any military action, the space for
alternative positions will vanish. People may find themselves forced to
make choices which they had no say in formulating. Any military action
will de-stabilise an already unstable and nuclearised region. Women in
Muslim countries and communities in particular may suffer the direct impact
of militarisation and a potential backlash from politico-religious movements.
