Salman sense
Another good article in today’s Guardian, this one from Salman Rushdie. He starts by referring to his fatwa:
Now, 16 years later, religion is coming after us all, and even though most of us probably feel, as I once did, that we have other, more important concerns, we are all going to have to confront the challenge. If we fail, this particular fish may end up frying us.
Aye.
Mr. Rushdie is correct. I for one am sick of religious people trying to impose censorship on me. Perhaps it is time to consider censorship of religion, and give them a taste of their own medicine ?
Only joking of course. I at least practise what I preach. Unlike some, who are rather more inclined to preach than I am!
MIght I suggest a visit to the National Secular Socieities web site, where there is much more of this recent upsurge in religionism? http://www.secularism.org.uk
There’s a deal of danger for us all when a substantial section of the cabinet are religionists (almost as big as the danger of an evangelical prime minister).
Hey Jon did’t know you are reading this too :0. Greets
