New at trAce - December 2004
*** frAme - Online/Offline
The latest issue of frAme is Online/Offline, an experiment in creating
collaborative narrative online undertaken by three writers, Jane Draycott,
cris bevir and babel, and a musician, Simon Keep. Starting with the motifs
of postcards and labyrinths the artists developed their own narrative
pathways by responding to the varying stages in their journey.

Please read, Abstention
I apologize for this note, but feel it's necessary. I've been carrying around
too much anger recently; this is also true of most of my offline friends. Anger
leads to despair, disgust, internal violence. I'm not good at meditating and/or
drugs; my outlets are my work and of course discourse online. But the latter
has become increasingly acerbic on my part, for no reason, especially among
people I respect. I feel I should abstain from discussion at this point; I'm
too out of control. Unfortunately for those of you who find my work spam, I'll
continue to send it out. But beyond that, I'll try silence as much as possible.
The election of Bush, our personal lack of money, my own lack of a future in
the job market (equivalent to a very real lack of a future), all of these
things weigh - not to mention constant insomnia, headaches, stress, problems
with my family. I've been going through the roof, getting up in tears in the
morning. It's not fair to Azure, and not to myself for that matter, although I
don't know how to stop it. But at least I don't need to inflict myself on
people here, online.
I try to keep the rage and despair out of my work. I've been looking at
older work over the past few days, and it feels suicidal. It's hard to
face, but I'm trying to put at least some of it on DVDs, out of
deteriorating VHS, 8mm, and Hi8mm tapes. The sound pops out, tracking is
lost, and all the usual shifts are occurring that happen in analog. In any
case, I'm dismayed at the self-loathing within a number of them, and
trying to come to grips with that.
For the rest, I feel my work is on course as usual, whatever that may be.
But I've noted my too-fast responses online - and that serves no useful
purpose, for you or for myself.
I hope to be back in discussion mode soon and please don't take this the
wrong way, whatever that might be.

Subject: "Islam Denounces Terrorism " by Harun Yahya
ISLAM DENOUNCES TERRORISM
by Harun Yahya
If your e-mail software does not support html, please click here.
Islam Denounces Terrorism is the new book by highly acclaimed Muslim intellectual Harun Yahya. Harun Yahya is a Turkish writer who enjoys an increasing global readership. It comes at a time when the confusion and misunderstandings surrounding Islam have never been greater and when the need to set the record straight concerning Muslims and what their religion really teaches and asks of them must be truthfully proclaimed.
Islam Denounces Terrorism by Harun Yahya accepts that challenge and delivers a must read for everyone who is looking to find the truth behind Islam's role on September 11.
As Muslims, we strongly condemn the terrorist attacks on two major cities of the United States of America on September 11, 2001, which caused the death and injury of thousands of innocent people.
This book does not contain the personal views of the author, explanations based on dubious sources, styles that are unobservant of the respect and reverence due to sacred subjects, nor hopeless, doubt-creating, and pessimistic accounts that create deviations in the heart. It maintains that the source of the terror we condemn is definitely not from a divine religion, and that there is no room for terrorism in Islam.
Hard-hitting facts, focused and to the point, Islam Denounces Terrorism is highly recommended for those wishing to learn more about the world faith of Islam and it's teachings in relation to terrorism.
