Spiked is a great webzine, which doesn’t mess around when it comes to attacking what it sees as puerile, politically motivated injustices. Especially in the field of free speech.

This article concerns a Muslim preacher who was jailed for “inciting terrorism” on the loosest interpretation of inciting possible. It’s a good read, as it shows how you can disagree completely with what someone is saying, but still think that he/she was unfairly censored.

As someone once said (it’s attributed to Voltaire, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that it wasn’t him), “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
