facing Islam, responsibly

In a civilised world, we would all understand the difference between attacking people and attacking ideas. Attacking ideas -- any ideas -- should absolutely never be restricted by legislation, by treaty, or by cultural taboo.

But horribly, tragically, the Islamist efforts to impose their anti-blasphemy laws on the entire world have made a great deal of progress.

Here in Canada, we have increasingly ridiculous "Human Rights Commissions" that are more and more often working against human rights, kowtowing to the radical Islamist agenda of forcing the rest of us to pretend to "respect" their religion. And what of the rest of the world? Even the UN General Assembly has agreed that "defamation of religion" should be condemned!

Johann Hari spells out the issue better than I can.
