Letters: I am not against Islam, but Islamic extremism 3.9.2010 The Guardian -- World Latest
Other people on Pankaj Mishra's list of influential anti-Islamic witch-hunters ( Comment , 1 September) can speak for themselves, but please let me state clearly what I have several times stated before: that I am not against Islam, but against Islamic extremism.

Tuvalu disaster relief exercise shows a shift in New Zealand's aid strategy 31.8.2010 Guardian: Environment
Operation Tropic Twilight tests improved co-ordination between government and development agencies in the Pacific He likened it to the landing of the Americans during the second world war when suddenly, as if the sea had changed colour, the island was swamped by white men in military uniforms. Some 67 years later, like hundreds of other residents of Funafuti , Fakasoa Eutelu dropped everything he was doing to watch as the New Zealand navy unloaded the amphibious support vessel Canterbury at the tiny port of Tuvalu's capital.
