Robert Stacy McCain has a great post on the current status of journalism in America. 

 



Should We Save Endangered Species?

Ooops I mean, societies. 
Interesting read and not really something I have thought about before.

The Critics of Islam Are Right

The critics of Islam were right

We who have carelessly thrown around the Islamophobe label including Glen Greenwald, Reza Aslan, and Karen Armstrong should lower our heads in shame and guilt. Few things are as morally depraved as attacking someone who criticizes Islam (Ayaan Hirsi Ali) rather than attacking the Islamic apostasy and blasphemy laws teaching Muslims they should kill her.

Though we claim the mantle of human rights, free speech and equality, we lack the courage of our convictions when it offends someone. We make the cowardly lion look like Churchill.
