Douglas Murray, self proclaimed neo-conservative, is on the show again this week. We spoke to Douglas back on episode 99 and  episode 77. He is the founder of the Center for Social Cohesion and the author of "Neo-Conservatism: Why We Need It". He's leading the next charge to defeat the British Government when a bill to outlaw the criticism of religious ideas is brought back to the House.

This week in blog news we have an education story from Australia that is nothing short of a left wing inspired nightmare. More details can be found at smh.com.au.

The Brussels Journal has the low down on the banning of a march protesting the islamisation of Eurabia. Also take a look at the web site for Stop the Islamisation of Europe.

The story about the Israeli Ambassador, Yehuda Avner, presenting his credentials came from Israellycool Dave's excellent blog.

This week I also played an extract from the American Jihad Podcast. This one had me laughing for ages so I hope it does the same for you.

Tom Paine's special piece is available as a YouTube clip:
