Talk by Richard Silverstein given at the conference "Confronting Islamophobia: I am My Brother's Keeper" May 7, 2011 at St. Marks Cathedral in Seattle, WA.
I am no right winger but for an educated person to defend, nay; promote Sharia law, with all it's anti-democratic tyrannical precepts like religious hegemony, wife-beating and child-rape is positively masochistic.
well...the typical delusional "left wing" buzz word rant with a classical whiny tone...but hey..i, as an anarchist libertarian, surely i agree with a lot of what he says and i'm certainly not a fan of the kind of blood thirsty "right wing" point of view either :)..
Too bad they wouldn't stand up for you in the same way.
