Thanks for the suggestion. I hope that if you access the linked material you may be able to comprehend the short intro and follow my chaos. The Pat Condell pieces speak for themselves and there is nothing I could add. Some believe it's unnecessary to paste a long quote from a linked piece. Often enough the linked piece adequately expresses the point I wish to bring to readers' attention. Sometimes I will reprint a paragraph or 2 if I think it is worthwhile or add my own comments.kellymp said:I appreciate your enthusiasm and dedication to an issue that you believe in, but it may be more helpful to post your feelings in a more organized way....just copying and pasting links is really chaotic. I don´t even understand what you are fighting for! Just a suggestion...
This thread started out with a piece about the chill that Islamic fatwahs and death threats have created on the freedom of expression. Follow up included pieces demonstrating that blasphemy, a form of expression, is punishable by death in societies governed by Islamic law. Womens' and gay rights are also an issue in such societies.
