This week we talk to two free-thinkers. One is from the UK and the other from the USA and both are trying hard not to be defined by the religion they were born into and have subsequently rejected. Shire Network News senior religious affairs correspondent Tom Paine speaks to two ex-Muslims - Sheila (not her real name for reasons which are probably obviuous) who lives in the United States, and Adil Zeshan from the United Kingdom. They talk about why they left, and why the fear the reaction from their former compatriots.
This week we also talk about the Spectator sponsored debate: We should not be reluctant to assert the superiority of Western values. You can find full details an a link to a recording at the Spectator's website.
The blogs are alive with stuff about Al Gore's Nobel Peace Prize. Hitting Metal With Hammer is just one link to look at.
The Egyptian Sandmonkey has a post looking at a Pharonic Temple buried under a Mosque. What a surprise: Pharaonic Temple found inside Luxor Mosque
Ann Coulter is an Idot. It's just true. See every blog for more details.
Doug Payton is ripping into socialists.
