Last Thursday, PJM's Roger Kimball hosted a conference on “Free Speech in An Age of Jihad: Libel Tourism, “Hate Speech,” and Political Freedom” at the Princeton Club in New York.

Remember, that kafirs are not equal to muslims in a Shari’ah court, so why are they equal in our courts? Yes, it’s rhetorical, but it is a question that needs to be raised and pondered!
