[Goanet] Goanet Reader: Dinesh D'Souza's The Enemy at Home (book review, NYT)
http://www.GOANET.org This month's Goanet operations sponsored by Mrs. Daisy Faleiro If you would like to sponsor Goanet's operations contact: Herman Carneiro - [EMAIL PROTECTED] From http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/21/books/review/Wolfe.t.html?ref=books --- BOOK REVIEW THE NEW YORK TIMES THE ENEMY AT HOME The Cultural Left and Its Responsibility for 9/11. By Dinesh D'Souza. 333 pp. Doubleday. $26.95. -- January 21, 2007 None (but Me) Dare Call It Treason By ALAN WOLFE At first Dinesh D'Souza considered him a dark-eyed fanatic, a gun-toting extremist, a monster who laughs at the deaths of 3,000 innocent civilians. But once he learned how Osama bin Laden was viewed in the Muslim world, D'Souza changed his mind. Now he finds bin Laden to be a quiet, well-mannered, thoughtful, eloquent and deeply religious person. Despite being considered a friend of the Palestinians, he has not launched a single attack against Israel. We denounce him as a terrorist, but he uses a different compass to assess America than Americans use to assess him. Bin Laden killed only 3,000 of us, with every victim counted, every death mourned, every victim's family generously compensated. But look what we did in return: many thousands of Muslims dead in Afghanistan and Iraq, and few Americans seem distressed over these numbers. I never thought a book by D'Souza, the aging enfant terrible of American conservatism, would, like the Stalinist apologetics of the popular front period, contain such a soft spot for radical evil. But in The Enemy at Home, D'Souza's cultural relativism hardly stops with bin Laden. He finds Ayatollah Khomeini still to be highly regarded for his modest demeanor, frugal lifestyle and soft-spoken manner. Islamic punishment tends to be harsh flogging adulterers and that sort of thing but this, D'Souza says with only a hint of irony, simply puts Muslims “in the Old Testament tradition. Polygamy exists under Islamic law, but the sexual freedom produced by feminism in this country is, at least for men, even better than polygamy. And the Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's statement that the West has a taboo against questioning the existence of the Holocaust, while pooh-poohed by Western commentators, was undoubtedly accurate. Unlike President Bush, who once said he could not understand how anyone could hate America, D'Souza knows why Islamic radicals attack us. Painful though it may be to admit, he admits, some of what the critics or even enemies say about America and the West ... may be true. Susan Sontag never said we brought Sept. 11 on ourselves. Dinesh D'Souza does say it. Dreadful things happened to America on that day, but, truth be told, D'Souza is not all that upset by them. America is fighting two wars simultaneously, he argues, a war against terror abroad and a culture war at home. We should be using the former, less important, one to fight the latter, really crucial, one. The way to do so is to encourage a split between radical Muslims like bin Laden, who engage in jihad, and traditional Muslims who are conservative in their political views and deeply devout in their religious practices; understanding the radical Muslims, even being sympathetic to some of their complaints, is the best way to win the support of the traditionalists. We should stand with conservative Muslims in protest against the publication of the Danish cartoons that depicted the Prophet Muhammad rather than rallying to the liberal ideal of free speech. We should drop our alliance with decadent Europe and should openly ally with governments that reflect Muslim interests, not ... Israeli interests. And, most important of all, conservative religious believers in America should join forces with conservative religious believers in the Islamic world to combat their common enemy: the cultural left. The domestic insurgents who, in D'Souza's view, constitute the cultural left want America to be a shining beacon of global depravity, a kind of Gomorrah on a Hill. I intend to name the enemy at home, D'Souza proclaims, and so he does. Twenty recent members of Congress, including Hillary Rodham Clinton and Ted Kennedy, are on one of his lists, and 17 intellectuals (one dead, one British) are on another, with similar numbers of Hollywood figures, activists, foreign policy experts, cultural leaders and organizations. Some of those he identifies -- Noam Chomsky, Ramsey Clark, Ward Churchill -- might not be surprised to find themselves here. Others -- the sociologist Paul Starr, the historian Sean Wilentz, the clergyman Jim Wallis, the philosopher Martha Nussbaum -- are less obvious candidates for inclusion. (One person, Thomas Frank, is

[Goanet] [JudeSundayReflections] Second Sunday of Lent
http://www.GOANET.org This month's Goanet operations sponsored by Mrs. Daisy Faleiro If you would like to sponsor Goanet's operations contact: Herman Carneiro - [EMAIL PROTECTED] 25-Feb-2007 Dear Friend, We wonder sometimes whether something once broken can ever be put together? Someone wrote these lines: Picassos shattered looking glass reflects a face in shambles, a crazy quilt of eyes and ears that never were or will be. Yet he who painted Pablos face could look at Humpty Dumpty and in the fractured features see what was and what can still be. If you would know the face of Christ, seek not divine perfection, but gaze with God on broken men who are and always will be. Have a transfigured Lenten weekend! Fr. Jude Sunday Reflections: Second Sunday of Lent Transfigured! 4-Mar.-2007 Readings: Genesis 15: 5-12; 17-18;Philippians 3: 17- 4:1; Luke 9:28-36; Todays first reading from Genesis speaks of the first covenant God makes with Abram, before his name was changed to Abraham as a sign of his encountering Yahweh and being changed forever, before he was held in covenant with God and drawn into a relationship of faithfulness by God. It is a reading of hope and promise for the future, of bringing forth a people who belong to God. The promise comes with land, a home and echoes of the kingdom of God here on earth, and the promise is sealed in sacrifice. God takes Abram outside, for God cannot be contained by walls, God takes Abram beyond his boundaries, his past, his dwellings, past security, past whatever he thought he was or what he believed his future held. God is still breaking into our dreams, drawing us out, extending our horizons, and seeking to change our ideas of who we are and who God might be. His covenant and promise stands as our hope because he is always faithful. A name called in love Maude and Harry have been married for fifteen years and their relationship is limited to newspapers exchange at breakfast-table and weather reports noted at dinner-table. Maude spends her days lingering over the housework because she dreads the time when she has nothing to do. Harry works long hours and says he is too tired to talk in the evenings so they settle down to drowsy boredom in front of the television. Maude never hears Harry call her by name; only as you. One day Maudes friend, Mabel, arrives and tries some advice: Maude, take a look at yourself! You are always going around with a colony of curlers in your head and tripping over your face. Youre a mobile mess, dear. What you need is a new hairdo and a new outfit then Harry will notice you! Tomorrow we will go shopping. Next day, Maude spends hours at the hairdresser and at various shops. Mabel is enthusiastic about the results, but Maude feels the whole exercise is wasted effort. After their long day they return to wait for Harry. When Harry comes in, he stops; he looks at his wife and when he sees her he realizes what he has done. He moves over to her, takes her in his arms, and calls her name again and again. When that happens, Maude becomes radiant and aglow. She is transfigured not because she has a new outfit but because for the first time in years she has heard her name called in love. Denis McBride in Seasons of the Word In todays second reading Paul reminds the Philippians that they are first of all citizens of the Kingdom of God and that they are to dwell in this world eagerly waiting for the coming of Christ. We are not first of all citizens of any country but of the kingdom of God and we are to live accordingly. We are called to imitate Paul who set an example by taking up the cross. Paul warns that those who set their sights on the things of this world will end in disaster. If we are interested only in things of this world: our belly, our food, our lifestyle, greed, possessions, power and money, we will end in disaster. We are called to live for higher things. Todays Gospel speaks of the transfiguration of Jesus in the company of his favourite apostles. The scene is rich in symbolism and points to a deeper meaning. Jesus accompanied by his disciples ascended the mountain and while he was in prayer he was transfigured in the company of Moses and Elijah. The mountain was not named. It is a theological mountain, a place where God reveals to Jesus as he did to Moses and Elijah earlier. Moses and Elijah represent the Age of the Law and the Age of the Prophets. In their presence he was affirmed in his mission by his Father. This is my Son the chosen one! The purpose of going to the mountain was to pray. It was in prayer that he was

The vertically focused Dayanand-bab wants to turn the whole of Goa into Singapore. Joaquim-bab is more modest. He only wants to turn Cuncolim into Singapore. These remarkable dreams deserve the support of the Goan people provided they are implemented in toto. I mean, why stop with the Singaporean skyline, Changi airport, the roads and the malls? Let us also import the Singaporean justice system, in particular its stiff anti-corruption prescriptions and consequences. I propose we have a little chat with Narvekar-bab and Alemao-bab, with their respective proctologists in tow, and lay before them an estimate of the length diameter of bamboo their sphincter may have to share space with under Goa's Singapore-inspired regime of justice.

Congratulations. We must reestablish the reading culture. Frank simoes was a great personality and we enjoyed his writings. I shudder to compare the saligao library mssion with the mess in Santa Cruz, the village where I grew up and where we have our permanent residence at Bondir. Thanks to Rajyasabha MP Mr. Eduardo Faleiro's generosity, Under MPLADS a village library building was built near the Bondir football ground two years ago. Despite such modern premises the library was never established by the St. Cruz village panchayat. The building remains locked and may be used for different purpose. Despite her sincerity, The local MLA could not find time to pursue the library proposal. The directorate of education grants Rs. 1, 26,000 to every village panchayat to establish a library and then the maintenenace grants are released every year for purchasing books, periodicals, power, water, wages, small programmes, rent of the premises. We have 380 villages but only 88 villages have libraries. Every year the government collects Rs. 20 million as 'public library cess'. Most of it lies unspent. Saligao institute must present a detail proposal to get the grants it deserves. I am sorry to see the lack of initiative in St. Cruz, a village known for stalwarts like Poet Paulino dias, Journalist Frank Moraes, Poet Dom Moraes, Tereza Albuquerque, Printer J.D. fernandes, Music maestro Cotta, Barao de cumbarjua-Purushottambab Quencro, the Dempo and Pinto families and many tiatrists, artists and sportspersons. There are many more names. Perhaps the Saligao childrens' library project would rekindle interest in our villagers. Unfortunately having shifted my residence to Goa University campus and presently pinned down by babysitting duties, I am out of action. But this news item has compelled me to wake up our village sarpanch and the MLA. I am going to contact them soon. Thanks to public animators like Fred, Mario and Muriel-Saligao is lucky to have such community oriented projects. I wish all the sucess for this venture and would do my bit to help the project by donating books and getting readers etc. END OF NOTE FOOTNOTE: I would not claim to have done anything in the above case, other than build awareness and occasionally raise the need for libraries. In my view, it is a big achievement that Giselle and team achieved everything without any official support.

But please dont raise your hopes that people will take your sagacious advice seriously, based on your educational experiences in North America. Get this: If Goans were Eskimos, they would be living in igloos. ;) [Nothing against Eskimos, but dont expect people in Goa to live a lifestyle of the West.] Interestingly, you make some perplexing points, based on borrowed advice (hearsay). If Goas education system is as robust as you (and your western proponents) say, why dont you consider sending your children to Goa for a primary or higher education? This will help test your professed theory: that alls well with the education system in Goa.

Great advice from the west! Any takers in Goa? BTW in the US there are cases where students carry guns and shoot fellow students; so using your above analogy, what advice would you dispense to students in Goa? Goas Education Minister recently made a remarkable move to make amends to the education system, and Goas Archbishop has encouraged the steps in that direction. But your position is that nothing is wrong with Goas education system. Will the North American and UK settled Goans not allow those in Goa the privilege to decide what is best in their interest? BTW Bosco, dont you think that I have the right to project my views based on my first hand experience in Goa, considering that: 1. I studied in Goa, and by virtue of that fact Im speaking from my experience in Goa and its education system. 2. I have worked in Goa (temporarily), and I know the employment situation in Goa, which BTW has not drastically improved since past decades. 3. I have interacted with students in Goa, and to a certain extent helped/help them in enhancing skills, time and opportunity permitting. 4. I have interacted with teachers and parents in Goa, who confirm their students/wards are facing problems in schools more now than ever, with the introduction of primary education that is totally in vernacular language. The fact that private English-medium schools are growing at a phenomenal rate, undoubtedly proves that a BIG majority of parents want their kids to take up primary level studies in English teaching schools, even though it is highly expensive. 5. I am a taxpayer in India, with full voting rights and interest in Goa. Let those who wear the shoe say whether it fits or not.

http://www.GOANET.org This month's Goanet operations sponsored by Mrs. Daisy Faleiro If you would like to sponsor Goanet's operations contact: Herman Carneiro - [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is one case where I fully endorse the action taken by the Ministry of Defense -- there is quite a scam in that the Bishop of Bombay (old Anglican Church -- now Church of North India) is trying to sell off the property attached to the Afghan Church -- He definitely has no right to do so -- Church authorities (Catholic included) thiink they are a law unto themselves -- sell off church property, originally given to the church by government or by good Christians without taking into account the feelings or rights and needs of the congregation. Our church authorities are always telling the congregation to build mansions in heaven, but most of them, as soon as they get the authority to manage landed property, either try to build mansions on earth and quite often only for the benefit of themselves or their direct families without any benefit to the congregation at large.[Aloysius D'Souza] This may be the bitter truth and I for one would be the last to refute it though I have no personal knowledge of the goings on in church financial matters including regarding real estate. But my purpose in the post was to provide background for the uncanny parallel to the Defence stranglehold over Dabolim and to see if someone could shed light on the Navy's claim that the airport was part of a Portuguese garrison. Maybe a Goan who is at least in his 80s would have some idea about the situation then. And by the way, note that the TOI report itself began with In an unusual step... The issue is not about the right and wrong of the Church authorities. Its about the involvement of Defence in seemingly extraneous matters, some accidental and others suspiciously deliberate.

I won't mention Kashmir, because the history of this state is complicated and has its own unique history in India's political framework.I am not sure of Cardinal Gracias's statement but he was consulted by the Goan liberation leaders and fully backed India's repossession of Goa.

http://www.GOANET.org This month's Goanet operations sponsored by Mrs. Daisy Faleiro If you would like to sponsor Goanet's operations contact: Herman Carneiro - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks Joe for all the video clips. You are doing a good job. Although I have seen only 35secs of this clip, it is different from the others, cause it has the lyrics (words) of the song displayed on the screen. However one cannot term it as 'Karaoke'. Karaoke is a Japenese word for sing-along, literally meaning 'empty orchestra'. It is a pre-recorded music, in which the the voice of the singer is removed. When you play a Karaoke VCD/DVD, your voice is substituted as the sound track is played; musicians and back-up singers accompany you. You dont have to memorize the words, as the lyrics of the song are displayed and highlighted on TV screen as you sing along. I understand its quite expensive to convert normal songs to Karaoke. I have heard of konkani Karaoke VCD but could not get the copy in Margao. I understand it is available only at select places. Did you buy this VCD, and is it Karaoke or just sing along with the voice and lyrics? Dev Borem Korum Edward Verdes Please sing along (Karaoke) 'Mogachi, sundor ti, Amchim Maim-bhas KONKANI...
Re: [Goanet] Fork and Knife and North American Table Dining Etiquette
http://www.GOANET.org This month's Goanet operations sponsored by Mrs. Daisy Faleiro If you would like to sponsor Goanet's operations contact: Herman Carneiro - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Judaline, Some factual errors in your post, in my Canadian experience which happens to be longer than yours: With fine dining in restaurants and at dinner with the Canadian upper classes you will see the knife and fork widely used. In fact at these occasions you will always find 3 forks 3 knives and 3 spoons placed on the table in the left and right order in which they are to be used i.e. fork and knife for salad or starters, fork and knife (with spoon optional) for the main entree, fork for the dessert and spoons for the soup and coffee. Most Canadians follow English not American traditions. The American way of life you see is restricted to cities like Toronto due to the heavy presence of American corporations who use American styles in all their corporate functions and activities and the populous unwashed immigrants who have been dished out the American McDonald culture in their own home countries Once out of metropolis and suburbia you will see which is more prevalent. The word used in Canada for cutlery is not utensils (please don't ever use that if you don't want a strange look) but rather flatware. Cheers, Roland. On 2/26/07, United Air Express Customer Service [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have been in Canada for 8 years after living in the Gulf for 20 years. In all my time here I have never seen any Canadians use the English way of eating i.e. knife in the right hand and fork in teh left hand. I admit though that the new English immigrants still follow the traditions of their ancestors. In Canada, people follow the American way of eating, i.e. fork in the right hand and switching it to the left when using the knife. How Goans, in Canada, use these utensils (Canadian word for cutlery) is of course up to their discretion. From what I can conclude, after living here for many years, is that Canadians and Americans do not accept most of the British traditions.
[Goanet] STREAMLINE OUR COURTS
http://www.GOANET.org This month's Goanet operations sponsored by Mrs. Daisy Faleiro If you would like to sponsor Goanet's operations contact: Herman Carneiro - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Before attempting to set up Gram Nyalayas (village Courts) and Night Courts the Goa Government should try and streamline to optimize the productivity of the current system of Courts. People very often suffer at the hands of the state because its functionaries fail to apply their minds to the problems faced by the public. To restrict an individuals access to courts is virtually compromising his rights. The Supreme Court should seriously look at the vexed problem of case backlog. Judgments should be foolproof so that they are not easily open to challenge. This may relieve the pressure on our case clogged courts. Aires Rodrigues Ribandar ___ What kind of emailer are you?

[Goanet] Local initiatives... and government funding
http://www.GOANET.org This month's Goanet operations sponsored by Mrs. Daisy Faleiro If you would like to sponsor Goanet's operations contact: Herman Carneiro - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Nandu, Governments' job is to spend, waste money, and create infrastructure the people don't require. We need to build alternatives which show how a lot can be attained with little, social capital can be built, and the volunteer-power available locally is harnessed. People like Giselle Lobo (not me!) have carried the project forward ... for two or more years, if I'm not mistaken. Once anyone takes even a paisa of government funds, they are strapped with conditionalities, politics and what not. We can also give politicians the message that they're not rulers of our destinies ... and hence I think it's important to stand on one's own feet. Goa's villages (and urban areas) have enough resources to do things for themselves. If given the chance, I would go out of my way to discourage anyone from depending on government money ... even if this is their right.

What difference does it make? The man did not reply, took another step forward, picked up another starfish and threw it into the water and said, to this one it makes a difference The moral of the story, What difference are we Goans making?

The church along with its structure, money and property is registered like other reliigious inst. under Maharastra Society Act of 1860 if it is in Maharastra and Goa and other society act in other places. To register this under this society you need members, MOU and from the members a committee is taken. I do not still know who are the members of this society and the list can be obtained under right to information act. The members are kept as secret and they have their regular meetings and enjoy the usufruit without disclosing their accounts to any one. Surprisingly many priests even are unware of this.The lay is asked to donate but what you give goes to the society and enjoyed by its members. Unless and until the list of the society and the minutes of the general body and the Managing committee is made public it is difficult to say anything.The bishop has every right to sell the land as he is the president of the committee and he must have discussed this in the general body meeting and also managing committee meetand passed.

Eduardo Faleiro, Your post is quite entertaining since you must be one of the last people on earth that believes Goa was connected to Portugal. The relationship between Portugal and Goa was that of Master and Slave. If anything, Goa was completely disconnected from all things Portuguese even when it was forced down our throats. Secondly, some Goans struggled all their lives to regain their independence, their own voice. The last Portuguese ruler (and last straw) was Salazar who arrested any person who wanted freedom of expression. Come to think of it, so do you. The NRI Convention started with you shouting down delegates on the first day and arresting others on the next.

[Goanet] AVC - Kuwait win Curtorcares United 7 a side tournament
http://www.GOANET.org This month's Goanet operations sponsored by Mrs. Daisy Faleiro If you would like to sponsor Goanet's operations contact: Herman Carneiro - [EMAIL PROTECTED] AVC - Kuwait sponsored by Kuwait Transcontinental Shipping Company Kuwait won the 11th Edition of Curtorcares United 7 a side football tournament held on 25th Feb 07 on the famous Soor grounds in Kuwait City. In the run up to the finals AVC - Kuwait defeated Veterans Club 1-0, brushed aside K.G.A in the tie-breaker with AVC's goalkeeper Alvaro Dias in outstanding form, whipped G.O.A. Maroons 3-0 in the semifinals and outclassed Bombay Boys 4-1 in the finals. The finals were played at a frantic pace with both the teams going in for the kill from the beginning. AVC forged ahead when medio Luciano D'Souza sent a crisp placement to put AVC ahead in the first half. Bombay Boys equalized immediately when a defensive error allowed Melvyn of Bombay Boys to put it across AVC's Alvaro. The second half started on a promising note with AVC on the attack with their customary two touch football and once again Luciano collecting a pass on top of the box unleashed a thunder shot which pierced the nylons and kept the Bombay Boys goalkeeper rooted to his ground. After that it was AVC all the way with star striker Kevin scoring the third and Molvito completing the rout. The tiring Bombay Boys players did try to force the pace, but the defense led by Vincy along with Captain Francis Jr. were rock solid with Alvaro manning the goal superbly. The game was played by both the teams in a very friendly manner showing the true spirit of football. Luciano D'Souza was adjudged the man of the finals for his superb play and was awarded a trophy for scoring the first goal of the finals. The tournament was held under the auspices of KIFF and supervised by IFRA and well organized by Curtorcares United.
