Beyond Orwellian: Liberty and technology today
By: Robert Scheer
For democracy, privacy is the ball game. Without the assurance of a zone of inviolate space, both physical and mental, that a citizen can inhabit without fear of observation by others, there is no guarantee of the essential sovereignty of the individual promised in the First and Fourth Amendments to the US Constitution. That should be clear, as it is to most people who have been oppressed by the tyranny of authoritarian regimes. Indeed, as Aldous Huxley and George Orwell brilliantly established in their classic writing on this subject, the totality of societal observation over the individual is the defining antithesis of freedom, even when that observation is gained through hidden and subtle persuasion.

Positive news for Detroit residents on the verge of having their water shut off:
Two Muslim organizations are donating $100,000 to provide assistance to Detroit residents facing water shutoffs or recovering from recent flooding.
The Michigan Muslim Community Council has partnered with Islamic Relief USA, the largest Muslim charity organization in the country, to help thousands of households at risk of having their water shut off. The grant will be divided between the Detroit Water Fund, United Way of Southeastern Michigan and Wayne Metro Community Council.
The organizations are hoping to encourage others to follow suit:
“We are hoping this is going to be contagious,” Anwar Khan, CEO of Islamic Relief USA, said in a statement. “The most important thing we have is not our money, it’s our energy and our enthusiasm, and it’s our people. … Also, it is important to us in our faith to help our neighbors. It is a part of our faith to help our friends.”
Advice on Interactions with Others
It is reported that ‘Umar b. Al-Khattab May Allah be pleased with him – said:

He who covers his secret is in a position to choose [to correct himself].
Assume the best about your brother until what comes to you from him overcomes you [and you have to change your opinion].

(TORONTO – August 22, 2014) The Canadian Council of Imams (CCI) today reiterates its past declarations condemning violent extremism and underscoring Canadian Muslims’ commitment to the safety and security of Canada, such as the CCI’s August 2010 declaration.
With respect to the CCI’s position on the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and Sham (ISIS), we declare the following:
He who thinks he is better than others, ends up alone.
He who thinks he is better than others, ends up alone.
El que piensa que es mejor que los demás, se queda sola.
Hij die denkt dat hij beter is dan anderen, eindigt alleen.
Celui qui pense qu’il est meilleur que les autres, se retrouve seule.
Wer denkt, er sei besser als andere, endet allein.
Tā shuí rènwéi zìjǐ shì bǐ biérén gèng hǎo, dúzì jiéshùle.
Den som tror att han är bättre än andra, hamnar ensam.
Tot, kto dumayet, chto on luchshe, chem drugiye , v konechnom itoge v odinochku.
O diğerlerinden daha iyi olduğunu düşünüyor O, yalnız biter.
Chi pensa di essere migliore degli altri, finisce da solo.
Dia yang berpikir ia lebih baik daripada yang lain, berakhir sendirian.
