Got an email from Irshad Manji...........

I rather like Irshad. She's a bit nuts but she means well and she is kinda cool. parrot

The relevant section of the email is this bit:

Quote from: Irshad

One story that's brought thousands of new supporters our way is the Islamist death threat against, and subsequent censorship of, Trey Parker and Matt Stone -- creators of the cartoon series, South Park. Click here for the background.

Through Web and TV interviews, I've asked audiences to sign my petition for secular values and to write their cities next to their names. What can any of this achieve? I'm planning to present all signatures to Comedy Central, the channel that airs (and now censors) South Park. I want broadcasters to see that if "ordinary" people have the guts to stand up to Islamist criminals, media executives should have courage, too.

Signatures have come in from Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Pakistan, Iran, Syria, Nigeria and beyond. If you haven't already signed the petition, please do. Let me also ask you to pass around the link irshadmanji.com/petition so that, by the time I secure a meeting with the execs, we'll have thousands more names and cities to present.

I think this is a good initiative. There's certainly no harm in signing it and it may do some good.

Welcome
