  • Upcoming events, debates, speeches
     OP - January 20, 2011, 10:30 PM
    I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread where we can post details of any upcoming events which may be of interest to us.  No need for too much chit chat in this thread (unless you want to of course), just update it once in a while when you discover a good event/debate taking place.

    Whether it's a pro-Islam or pro-secularism event, or anything in between.

    I wish I attended some of the IQ2 debates in the past (particularly the ones with Dawkins, Douglas Murray, Tariq Ramadan).

    Good idea Afro I'll sticky this thread. Everyone, please avoid discussions in this thread, instead, post details of upcoming events here and start a new thread for each if you want to discuss them.

    Douglas Murray will be at Conway Hall 6.30 next Wednesday, Shahid - along with Maryam and the gang - discussing "Enemies not Allies".

    Basically how we must stand by our ideals and principles and never stand with any group that may want to hold hands with us on specific issues - when in other issues they contradict our principles.

    The EDL are gonna protest in Luton on Sat 5th February.  They're going "back where it all began".  This is one to avoid unless you like a riot.

    UAF are also preparing themselves for this... http://uaf.org.uk/2011/01/all-antiracists-and-antifascists-should-be-in-luton-on-sat-5-feb/

    Yep; you can click on "Notify" at the top of the thread. Then in your settings under Profile > Notifications and Email you can UNcheck "Receive reply notification only for the first unread reply." (which is checked on by default) if you want to receive all the posts in this thread via email. However, it'll also send you all posts in all other threads you're subscribe too as well. So, best to play around with the settings there, and to "unsubscribe" from those threads you do not want to receive notifications for every time someone posts in them.

    Tariq Rammafuckingdan is like a bullet to the brain, so boring and monotonous. Douglas Murray is....a toff, and Melanie Phillips is a typical Daily Mail writer.


    What part of that is interesting? Or intelligent?

    Secularist of the Year award in London

    Date: 19 March 2011

    Description:

    Each year the National Secular Society makes a presentation of the Irwin Prize for £5,000 to a person who has contributed significantly to the secular cause over the previous year. The prize will be awarded at an awards ceremony in London on Saturday 19 March.

    Past winners have included Professor Steve Jones for his work on promoting evolution and resisting creationist claims; Maryam Namazie for her work in opposing the oppression of women in Iran; Evan Harris MP and Lord Avebury for their work in abolishing the blasphemy law, and in 2010 the title was awarded to the Southall Black Sisters for their work providing a secular space where women fleeing violence or injustice — often resulting from religious attitudes — can find a safe haven.

    The 2011 presentation will be preceded by a three course lunch at a venue in the heart of London’s Soho district on Saturday 19 March with the whole event ending around 4pm.

    Tickets are on sale priced £45 each. A special student rate of £15 is also available for students in full time education.
