141 - Podcast helps Ibn Warraq Defend the West PDF Print E-mail

For the second week, our guest is author and activist Ibn Warraq, who has been writing and speaking against Jihadi Islam for decades. His work on what the Koran really says, and what the core of Islam is really about is the kind of writing and thinking that Islam's phobia of self criticism makes impossible from within Islam. You can find Part 1 of his interview here.

He's the author of many books, such as Why I am Not A Muslim and editor of The Origins of the Koran, The Quest for the Historical Muhammad, What the Koran Really Says, and Leaving Islam.

His latest work is "Defending the West: A Critique of Edward Said's Orientalism".

You can also find regular articles by Ibn Warraq at the tremendous site, New English Review.

Our first story: Almighty Allah busted on drug charges can be found WTNH.com. There really wasn't too much point in re-writing that story, it was too good the way it was.

The Russians invaded Georgia. The Left blamed America. News? Or Israel.

The story from New Zealand of the vanishing polygamy and polyandry speech can be not found on the govt site here. Or found on another site where it has been carefully saved from Google Cache.

Ezra Levant's own site is a good source for news of his antics. The particular interview we play comes from John Oakley.

We speak, as ever, to Evan Sayet and you can find details of his now regular comedy show at the Laugh Factory.

All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

Battles are won by slaughter and maneuver. The greater the general, the more he contributes in maneuver, the less he demands in slaughter.

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
