We cannot hope to win the ideological battle against Islam without criticism of Islam, it is essential that we continue to criticize Islam.

While many Islamic countries pay lip service to the idea of freedom of religion, they don't put up with conversion from Islam to another religion.

I wish more people would belabor the obvious, and more often.

Human rights transcend local or ethnocentric values, conferring equal dignity and value on all humanity regardless of sex, ethnicity, sexual preference, or religion. It is in the West that human rights are most respected.

Of course slavery and the Muslims were deeply implicated in the slave trade, Islam was an Imperialist religion which destroyed Christianity in the Near East, yet nobody mentions those facts.

Being from a minority culture, I realised the importance of looking at non-Western cultures in a positive way.

All religions are sick men's dreams, false - demonstrably false - and pernicious.
