America
America I've given you all and now I'm nothing.
America two dollars and twenty-seven cents January 17, 1956.
I can't stand my own mind.

America when will we end the human war?

Allen-Ginsberg talks about writing private-poetry. He saw his generation fade away in madness, and started writing unpublishable poems.

Explicit and vivid interview, by Jeremy Isaacs. Still some-how relevant today.

Abdur Rahim Green talks about Islam and Democracy.

Born in Dar-es-salaam in Tanzania to British parents, Green's father, Gavin-Green, was a colonial-administrator in the then extant British-Empire.

Whilst in Britain his father got a job in 1976 working for Barclays-Bank International and was subsequently sent to Cairo, Egypt, to set up a branch.

His study of the Qur'an attracted him to Islam, and he-embraced Islam in 1988.
