What is fair use?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyright_FAQ
The effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the
copyrighted work.
Does this use hurt or help the original author's ability to sell it? Did
they intend to or were they trying to make the work widely republished (as
with a press release)? Are you making it easy to find and buy the work if a
viewer is interested in doing so?
Below is the insertion to illustrate that it conforms to the above,
especially given the about the book section runs into around 300 lines.
"here is a breif extract about the book from the web site site
About the Book
The Zionism of the book's title is Jewish nationalism, the creating and
sustaining force of modern Israel. And this Zionism, political Zionism, is
not to be confused with what could be called the spiritual Zionism of
Judaism. Awareness of the difference between political Zionism and Judaism
is the key to understanding why it is perfectly possible to passionately
anti-Zionist without being in any way, shape or form anti-Semitic or
anti-Israel inside its pre-1967 borders.
For a summary understanding of the difference click on THE MONSTER OF
ANTI-SEMITISM - HOW TO DESTROY IT.
ZIONISM: THE REAL ENEMY OF THE JEWS was chosen by the author as the title
for the book because, in seven words, it reflects two terrifying truths for
our time.
The first is that more than half a century on from the obscenity of the Nazi
holocaust, anti-Semitism is on the rise again in the nations of the mainly
Gentile world where most of the world's Jews (diaspora Jews) live as
assimilated citizens of those nations.
The second, a great and tragic irony, is that the behaviour of Zionism's
child, Israel, where only a minority of the world's Jews live giving
substance to Jewish nationalism in action, is the prime cause of the
re-awakening of the sleeping giant of anti-Semitism. As all the best Jewish
minds of the pre-holocaust period feared would be the case if Zionism was
allowed to have its way."
This is clearly not copyright infringements. At best you should have
challenged me about it,
secondly, i have not read any evidence of 'personal attacks' that remotely
justifies a ban.
which means your indefinate ban , only only my first ban was against
wikipedia policies, to the letter
p.s as to your reference to abu hamza. That is my email, it has been my
email for over 6 years, and has nothing to do with my wiki nick name.
Imagine what 1. 7 billion muslims would think of the wikipedia policy of
open community if you were banned indefinately for just calling yourself abu
hamza, a name as common as john.

well jaygy, i haven't seen anything from you

If i recall you stated i was to be banned indefinately because
a) copy right violations.
You have still as yet to produce any evidence for this. If you can't
that
means you deliberately lied in order to justify
blocking me
or the 3rd time, you copied large sections of text verbatim 3 times
from the
zionism-realenemyofthejews.com into the Alan Hart article.
Here are the links where you did it:

I also listed in previous e-mails your attacks on Talk: pages etc. Do
you plan to claim for a 4th time that I have produced no evidence of
your copyright violations? Do you plan to yet again claim it was
your "friends" who were reverting for you from your home and
workplace? Do you plan to again claim that the fact that the real Abu
Hamza claims Harold Shipman is a Jew, and you keep inserting that
claim into the article on Harold Shipman, has nothing to do with your
chosen name "Abu Hamza"?
Your continued denials of behavior that has already been documented
show quite well why your indefinite ban is justified.
Jay.
