'The Free Radical' - the 'Death to Islam!' issue

I didn't blog yesterday because I finally grabbed the chance to devour the new Free Radical - the 'Death to Islam!' issue.

It's the best yet.

Lindsay Perigo says 'Death to Islam'; Marcus Bachler investigates what Richard Dawkins has to say about religion, and why it's 'The Root of All Evil'; George Reisman has plenty to say about Peak Oil and cartoons; some bloke called Peter Cresswell writes abut leaky houses, Nathaniel Branden, and how to sell your soul; Tibor Machan explains why Ayn Rand is so great; some Danish cartoons are published, and an honest academic is found (at Waikato, no less!)

It really is the best issue yet. Now's the time to subscribe and pick up your own copy.

Death To Islam

Sounds a bit severe.

Agree with LL re the power of ridicule. Something I try to do in my own small way.

PC: 'Waikato, no less!'

Yes! I did a double-take; my first thought being 'misprint'!

Sounds a bit severe?

Lancashire,

Isn't my little list one of ridiculous beliefs too? Do any fail to rival Islam for ridiculousness?

They should be up for the same "death" then, no?

If it's true that the Parnell Christian Woman’s Knitting Circle isn't bothering anyone else then neither is Islam.

Islamism on the other hand is bothering lots of people. Islam is a very old and very successfull, peaceful, way of life. It's a shame TFR can't tell the difference and a relief that Alexander Downer can.
