I thought she was interesting to listen to, but if she's going to come on to talk about being a Moslem woman then surely she should have been able to deal with "William in the Highlands" in a more succinct way than simply saying she's just a normal moslem who doesn't have those answers?
Also, I've never heard any religious person use the term 'shafted' with such vigour before! Good luck to her though, she sounds genuine and a warm person.
Here's the bit I recorded, if she was on after 1am I didn't stick...

although the speeded up version is quite amusing to listen to - and you can listen to the whole interview in half the time!  |

the problem with humyo is that it assumes you've recorded at 44.1khz, whereas you did it at 32khz - the download works fine if recorded direct though.
humyo seem to have set .ctr as an accepted archive file - meaning that if you set it as that, it will work as a downloadable link. Now we just need to get the entire internet to accept the files and we're set... |

she's a member of respect and a founder of the stop the war coalition, she was taken prisoner by the taleban and after her release converted to islam. its not the greatest of interviews though - it is james whale after all!
| Quote: | British-born, award-winning journalist Yvonne Ridley is well known in the Muslim world for her outspoken views and defence of Islam. She endeared herself to the Muslim community in Britain when she reverted to Islam 30 months after making international headlines when she was captured by the Taleban on an undercover assignment in Afghanistan. She was a senior reporter of the Sunday Express at the time, having spent nearly 10 years in Fleet Street working for several prestige titles including The Sunday Times, The Observer, Daily Mirror and Independent on Sunday...
Sr Yvonne set out as a regional journalist nearly 30 years in her native North East. She has also worked on projects as a broadcaster, producer and presenter on programmes for BBC TV and radio, CNN, ITN and Carlton TV travelling to Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine. A founder member of Women in Journalism, she is also a promoter of women’s rights, and is also a founder member of the Stop The War Coaltion and the RESPECT political party.
In her spare time Sr Yvonne travels throughout the UK and across the globe promoting peace and the anti-war message. She has also delivered lectures on issues relating to Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Kashmir and Uzbekistan, Women in Islam, the War on Terror and journalism at Ivy League universities across the US, Australia, South Africa and the Middle East.
Sr Yvonne is a founder member of the Friends of Islam, an All Party Parliamentary Group. She is also a member of the National Union of Journalists, the International Federation of Journalists and the Society of Authors. She has written two books called In The Hands of the Taleban and Ticket to Paradise and is currently writing and researching for two other titles.
In The Hands of the Taleban has now been updated and is being published in both French and English for sale in leading bookshops soon.
She is a patron of the UK-based pressure groups Cage Prisoners and Hhugs which seek to help and highlight the plight of political prisoners around the world as well as the financial and emotional needs of their families. She also devotes much of her time to humanitarian work and supports several charities.
She also works as a political presenter and journalist for the global, english language, 24-hour news station Press TV as well as being a regular media commentator and writer on Muslim-related issues |
