I had intended to use it to do video blogs and perhaps interviews, but haven’t got round to it until now. Well, last week I posted a 20-minute video blog (in three sections as YouTube doesn’t accept videos over 10 minutes long) on clueless Wikipedia contributors.

You see, I authored a page on my old school, or rather the building in which it was situated, and despite having posted a number of articles about my experiences there (many of them negative), kept the Wikipedia entry factual and posted whatever I could find from Google about the history of the building. Some guy (or perhaps woman, since they never gave us more than a nickname) thought it was relevant to tell the world that the main author of the page was an “Islamist blogger”. I thought it was irrelevant, particularly as I did not use Wikipedia to attack the school or anyone associated with it.

Anyway, it starts here and you can see my (currently rather empty) YouTube channel here, insha Allah.

Besides wanting to do this for its own sake as the first serious usage of my new toy, I decided I had to counter the images the media and certain blogs will give out of the rally. It was reported that it turned violent later on in the evening (I left around sunset), something I had been warned about, but the bit I participated in was overwhelmingly calm and good-natured, and the “anti-semitic” banners (actually, it wasn’t anti-semitism as such but such things as Israeli flags with swastikas in them) were a small minority. More later, insha Allah. Videos are over the fold, or you can view them here, here and here.
