Muslims gathered Friday near the Danish Consulate in New York
and protested
cartoons originally published in Denmark
that some say are sacrilegious and insensitive
to Islam.

More Than 1,000 Protest Cartoon Depiction of Prophet
By KAREEM FAHIM
More than 1,000 Muslims gathered yesterday for a rally and
prayer session
across the street from the Danish Consulate in Manhattan,
protesting cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad
that have set off a series of
violent demonstrations
around the world since their first publication in
Denmark.
The rally, billed by the organizers as a stand against the vilification of
Muslims,
was considerably larger than another one this month,
drawing South Asian, Arab, African-American and other Muslims
to a plaza a block
from the United Nations as the sun peeked out after a morning of rain.
In a program that lasted several hours,
the speakers talked about the
responsibility that comes with free speech
and their reverence for the prophet to a peaceful crowd
that included families
with small children and student groups.

Secret volunteer economy remains the backbone of charities
The public seems increasingly convinced that voluntary organisations
are staffed
by paid professionals - and many people are unhappy about it.
Yet new research
suggests that two-thirds of the work of Britain's biggest charities is provided
by volunteers.

global warming,
says environmental chief
As Hurricane Rita threatens devastation,
scientist blames climate change
Published: 23 September 2005
By Michael McCarthy, Environment Editor
The Independent
Super-powerful hurricanes now hitting the
United States are the "smoking gun" of global warming, one of Britain's leading
scientists believes.
The growing violence of storms such as Katrina, which wrecked New Orleans, and
Rita, now threatening Texas, is very probably caused by climate change, said Sir
John Lawton, chairman of the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution.
Hurricanes were getting more intense, just as computer models predicted they
would, because of the rising temperature of the sea, he said. "The increased
intensity of these kinds of extreme storms is very likely to be due to global
warming."
In a series of outspoken comments - a thinly veiled attack on the Bush
administration, Sir John hit out at neoconservatives in the US who still deny
the reality of climate change.
Referring to the arrival of Hurricane Rita he said: "If this makes the climate
loonies in the States realise we've got a problem, some good will come out of a
truly awful situation." As he spoke, more than a million people were fleeing
north away from the coast of Texas as Rita, one of the most intense storms on
record, roared through the Gulf of Mexico. It will probably make landfall
tonight or early tomorrow near Houston, America's fourth largest city and the
centre of its oil industry. Highways leading inland from Houston were clogged
with traffic for up to 100 miles north.
There are real fears that Houston could suffer as badly from Rita just as New
Orleans suffered from Hurricane Katrina less than a month ago.
Asked what conclusion the Bush administration should draw from two hurricanes of
such high intensity hitting the US in quick succession, Sir John said: "If what
looks like is going to be a horrible mess causes the extreme sceptics about
climate change in the US to reconsider their opinion, that would be an extremely
valuable outcome."
Asked about characterising them as "loonies", he said: "There are a group of
people in various parts of the world ... who simply don't want to accept human
activities can change climate and are changing the climate."
"I'd liken them to the people who denied that smoking causes lung cancer."
With his comments, Sir John becomes the third of the leaders of Britain's
scientific establishment to attack the US over the Bush government's
determination to cast doubt on global warming as a real phenomenon.
Sir John's comments follow and support recent research, much of it from America
itself, showing that hurricanes are getting more violent and suggesting climate
change is the cause.
A paper by US researchers, last week in the US journal Science, showed that
storms of the intensity of Hurricane Katrina have become almost twice as common
in the past 35 years.
Although the overall frequency of tropical storms worldwide has remained broadly
level since 1970, the number of extreme category 4 and 5 events has sharply
risen. In the 1970s, there was an average of about 10 category 4 and 5
hurricanes per year but, since 1990, they have nearly doubled to an average of
about 18 a year. During the same period, sea surface temperatures, among the key
drivers of hurricane intensity, have increased by an average of 0.5C (0.9F).
Sir John said: "Increasingly it looks like a smoking gun. It's a fair conclusion
to draw that global warming, caused to a substantial extent by people, is
driving increased sea surface temperatures and increasing the violence of
hurricanes."
