Does freedom of speech give the right to offend?

Islamism is not Islam. Islamism is the politicisation of Islam, the desire to impose a version of this ancient faith over society.

Within our lifetime, we can remember a time when Islamism wasn't the dominant form of discourse or the aim should be to minimise the absolutists within any religious community and contain them.

I believe that preventing radicalisation is far more efficient than de-radicalisation, meaning stopping someone joining is a lot easier than trying to pull someone out once they've joined.

I can now say that the more I learnt about Islam, the more tolerant I became.

I'm yet to discover any form of theocracy that isn't homophobic, that isn't bigoted to the out group.

We have to render Islamist extremism as unattractive as communism has become today.
