Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is not the first person to use false pretences to try to find a better life in the West, nor will she be the last.

well its not all 'Dr Wall condenms restrictions on X', Dr Wall visits town to close down a Tescos, there is more going on here on another green world. Amongst the occassional series of series such as 'political corruption!', 'gay zen' and I also run 'things I agree with the Economist about' blog entriesd.

In this category must include their excellent, amusing and sharp review of 'Infidel', intolerant religion of all kinds need to be condemned, anti-gay and anti-women Islam, Protestanism or Buddhism or whatever. no thanks...however I agree with the Economist that Infidel is a problematic book.

Their review is here.

don't get me started on the supposed Chinese government attack on Marxist Internet Archive.
