[ga-abuse] FW: [ga] Fwd: [council] Condemn Cowardly Attack


Hello,
 
I am appalled by the language and tone Mr.. Dieker has seen fit to use.  I suggest that he be required to immediately apologize and be disciplined as required for this type of email.  Especially as this email has no thread of continuity with what is talked about in the previous emails.  It is just used as an excuse to spew venom on the list.
 
Regards,
Dave

Dear Mr. Lynn,

You wax profound but you belie your true nature.

Are you ready to ensure that the AT LARGE receives its' allotted seats?

Are you ready to ensure that the general populace has a right to representation, as opposed to political restrictions you seem inclined to impose?

In short Mr. Lynn your insincerity proceeds you like a rabid dog.  Do not claim to be one of the caring when your every action speaks the opposite.

Where were you when my brothers lost domain names and property rights to IP manipulated WIPE?  Where we you when they shut off the inclusiveness of the WG-Review?  Where were you when my sisters lost 50K on a lottery which was politically manipulated?  Where were you when the attacked our friends and comrades with other roots?  Where were you when they granted Palestine a ccTLD and denied others?

You smell bad and the odor is of an opportunist.  My dotcommoners read you like a viper trail in the sand and only a fool would follow lest they be bit!!

Peace,
Eric

Dear Asaad: Thank you for your thoughtful note. I am sure that I speak for everyone in the ICANN community that we are appalled by the hateful emails you have been receiving. The ignorant bigotry they represent has no place in our ICANN world. Terrorism, as you point out, has nothing to do with Islaam. Timothy McVeigh, who blew up the Federal building in Oklahoma City in the U.S., was neither a Muslim nor an Arab. It is a sad commentary that before McVeigh was identified, some people here in the U.S. immediately assumed it was a terrorist from the Middle East who was responsible. As you rightly point out, stereotyping is not an acceptable substitute for tolerance, education and understanding. If there is any small silver lining to the terribly tragic events of last week, it is that it has brought people together from across the world regardless of religion, culture, nationality, or other individual preferences. The note from you and your AINC colleagues has contributed to that. The events brought home to all of us that we are all human beings who live on a small and fragile planet that cannot tolerate bigotry, hatred, and evil. Many thanks to the AINC Executive Council for sharing your collective feelings with us. I am sure we all appreciate it. Stuart

On behalf of the Executive Council of AINC ( Arabic Internet Names Consortium) we issued the attached statement.
 
AINC strongly and unanimously condemns and denounces the vicious inhuman attacks perpetrated against innocent civilians in the U.S. this week. These attacks and the ideologies behind them are absolutely diametrically opposed to the teachings of all religions and to our cultural values.
Taking human life gratuitously is an extremely grave sin as you see in the Qur'anic verse which reads: "Whosoever kills a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption on the land shall be as if he has killed all mankind, and whosoever saves the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind," (Al-Ma'idah:32).
Our response to the hatred emails that we received earlier today is that we understand and share the sender's pain and indignation; and we are equally appalled at what transpired this past Tuesday. However, we should not give in to ignorant stereotyping and racial and cultural bigotry.  Islam, the religion of tolerance, whose very name derives from the word "peace", holds the human soul in high esteem, and considers the attack against innocent human beings a grave sin, You can find a multitude of verses in the Holy Qur'an that are to this effect.
May God bless the souls of all our dead and grant all of the families with peace and patience and the strength to overcome sorrow. Our hearts and prayers to the families and we ask God to grant the World with Peace and Prosperity.
Sincerely,
Asaad Y Alnajjar, Executive Director AINC  http://www.ArabicDomainName.org
