Nice article

My article for Varisty's Comment is now up. Slightly put out by some of the edits, such as the following:

It would be cheap of me to point out that if Ms Fresko’s phantom friend wanted to compare the image in the termcard with genuine anti-Semitic cartoons, she could easily procure one from fine Islamist purveyors everywhere

There's a reason I said Islamic and not Islamist in my original piece.

the spectacle of the nutbag Lauren Booth

I specifically called her a far-right nutbag (this edit just does not make sense).

And

The claims Ms Fresko makes are tantamount to demanding special protection for religious groups

I never wrote this because a) whatever else is true about Miss Fresko's article, she never called for special protection, and b) I don't believe that religious groups "should not have special protection" because I believe they should have extra abuse.
