 2015 – Salman Rushdie, 7 January: |
| “Religion, a medieval form of unreason, when combined with modern weaponry becomes a real threat to our freedoms. This religious totalitarianism has caused a deadly mutation in the heart of Islam and we see the tragic consequences in Paris today. ‘Respect for religion’ has become a code phrase for ‘fear of religion.’ Religions, like all other ideas, deserve criticism, satire, and, yes, our fearless disrespect.” |
And on that note, a new video for an old song: “NOWHERE”
