Hoi, Our movement is impacted by the new ukaze that prevents many of our staff going home for a holiday or see their family and it prevents many members of our movement to visit the office of the WMF. So it does have a serious and negative impact on our efforts. When there is a national strike, it will affect staff to come to the office. So going to work / not working are two distinct things here. Given that we are negatively affected, there is no problem recognising this. When you then consider that a negative perspective on muslims / Islam is grounded in a lack of knowledge, we could recognise this and when we do see this in a similar light as we see the gender gap. It is where we are lacking and it is why people can easily take an advantage. So strike maybe not. Sympathise and do something that helps our cause and is not beneficial to those misrepresenting facts.. ABSOLUTELY. Thanks, GerardM On 29 January 2017 at 18:16, geni <geniice(a)gmail.com> wrote:

James, Is there any special relevance to the mission of the Foundation here, or this is simply an attempt to use the resources of the Foundation to gain publicity for a political cause that you personally favour? "Rogol" On Sun, Jan 29, 2017 at 5:41 PM, James Salsman <jsalsman(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Cementing that impression gains us a bunch of enemies and nothing else. A strike by the WMF isn't going to impact them very much. You want a effective general strike? Go talk to the power station workers and the Electrical grid people not the WMF. -- geni

James There has always been control of travel into the United States. I have had a colleague arrested at the airport and deported for the "crime" of admitting that she expected to be paid by a university for a lecture she had been invited to give. That was a clear interference with the free flow of information as well. The difference is that you no longer agree with the nature of that control.
