Under Siege: Islam, War and the Media November 15, 2008

The Media Workers Against the War conference in London on Saturday 15 November, which is open to all, has a very impressive list of contributors which include PETER OBORNE from the Daily Mail, NICK DAVIES, author of Flat Earth News, MOAZZAM BEGG, ex-Guantanamo prisoner, LOUISE CHRISTIAN, civil liberties lawyer, EAMONN MCANN, author and journalist, among many others.

The conference will examine how the media has been poisoned by the islamophobia associated with the "war on terror". It will also discuss new flashpoints, such as the unreported war in Somalia, the crisis in Afghanistan and its impact on Pakistan and the growing tension in the Caucasus.
