“Free Speech in an Age of Jihad”

July 8, 2008 By admin

Now from the SteynOnline store:

This New Criterion pamphlet includes [Mark Steyn’s] keynote address and other speeches from the recent conference in New York on libel tourism, “hate speech” and political freedom. Aside from “The Lamps Are Going Out”, Steyn’s report on the dimming of liberty, there’s further analysis of his and similar cases around the world from Roger Kimball, Stanley Kurtz, Robert Spencer and Andy McCarthy, with commentary from several of those on the front line in the battle for free speech and honest discussion of Islam’s relation with the west, including Rachel Ehrenfeld, Ezra Levant and Ibn Warraq. You’ll also get some thoughts on the bigger politico-legal picture from Claudia Rosett, Judge Robert Bork, Brooke Goldstein and others.

These lawsuits are a vindication of the twin themes of America Alone — a resurgent Islam, and the west’s loss of civilizational confidence. So Free Speech In An Age Of Jihad makes a perfect companion to America Alone. History is on the march, and this double-bill will bring you up to speed.
