The solution is to prosecute those who incite terror; to close down the mosques and deport the imams. Any sane society would be doing this automatically. We need to stop treating Islam like a special needs case.

Pat Condell
Richard Dawkins has churned out another questionable business venture through his website recently after having collaborated with Pat Condell to release a DVD with all of Pat's internet videos. As is the case with most of Professor Dawkins' videos, they're all there for the eye to see on YouTube. However, if you have not come across Pat Condell before, you have missed something rather spectacular. Having joined YouTube about a year ago he has released periodical tirades against everything he despises about religion. Whilst his laments begin fairly sweetly, with a resounding dose of quintessential British tolerance, he later finds himself ranting until he's red in the face with regard to whatever he picks up as his latest topic. Strangely, he's ranked third in the UK's most subscribed-to comedy channels, yet what Pat discusses is rarely laughable. Covering topics ranging from 'Catholic morality' to 'the trouble with Islam', he's come in for stark debate. May he be arrested, or murdered, for what he has to say? Very likely. May the individuals he criticises face immediate opposition from the powers that be? Very unlikely. This, dear reader, is the problem with European society as it stands, as depicted encouragingly by this American news piece. I leave you with a section from his clip, 'Sharia fiasco':
The solution is to prosecute those who incite terror; to close down the mosques and deport the imams. Any sane society would be doing this automatically. We need to stop treating Islam like a special needs case.

Have watched all of Condell's webcasts independently of this blog. Didn't realise the Dawkins collaboration.
Have you ever thought of webcasting yourself?
without having a direct audience in front of you, i find webcasting quite a strange impulse - talking into a lense. i'd be no good, especically in comparison to Pat.
i did think i'd missed a beat once i found the page on Dawkins' website. that's what happens when you find yourself in the middle of the Arizona desert. my next post will inevitably be about the muslim youtube clips.
