As the article say, we've been seeing all this Islamism crap coming for more than a few years now.  ::)
This nasty little UK internal virus needs eradicating or certainly, at least, putting in its place, ie the TOILET !!!! ;)

So his beef is that a Liberal-minded news outlet believes in Freedom of Speech, it seems? The Guardian editorials are opposed to Islamism, and though opinion pieces in there trail the incomprehensible 'it's not religion's fault' line, that's pretty much universally adopted by everyone except UKIP (who, to be fair, only think it's a problem of THAT religion, not religion in general).

If the right-wing media is going to deny these people a voice, how are we ever to establish a dialogue in order to damp down the fires?

Universes are forever, not just for creation...

New Atheism - because, apparently, there's a use-by date on unanswered questions.

It seems to me that there are three main battles in the war on terror:

Land - We are losing this
Propaganda - We are losing this
Rational debate and agreement - We have occupied the whole area and the extremists cannot engage.
Ah, but I was so much older then ... I'm younger than that now

I think the last one is entirely unoccupied, it is the terra incognita
