An interesting piece from The Daily Beast: How the fire-breathing Islamic fundamentalist who led Denmark's opposition to the Prophet Mohammed cartoons has changed his mind and is asking forgiveness. What caused him to rethink his position? Reading the works of Soren Kierkegaard!
PS; Talk is that with Tina Brown abandoning ship, the Beast may not survive past Halloween. Better read the story now.

Fascinating. I tried to skim that article first and it doesn't work that way, but it's interesting given a deeper read. And there's way more to the story than Ahmed Akkari, the fact that Flemming Rose can't find an English publisher.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
