Bill Whittle 's new essay

Yesterday I finished reading Bill Whittle's essay Sanctuary. It was quite an experience. I had goosebumps, tears, and laughter. Below is an excerpt.

I am trying my level best to understand how and why someone who professes to be for freedom for artists, homosexuals and women – not to mention unlimited personal expression of every stripe -- can take the side of 8th Century religious fanatics who brag about murdering writers, stoning women, beheading homosexuals and instituting moral policemen at every street corner with unquestioned authority to beat, jail or execute anyone suspected of being insufficiently pious.

Go and read it. It will take about an hour but is well worth it.
