Links of interest for Feb. 11 2014 – 3

1. Here is a comment thread that has reached 67 comments on an article about a muslim who killed his child. I recommend sitting back and reading them all. Some leftists and muslims make the usual claims about the koran and islam and peace and islamophobia etc. and some very knowledgable commenters engage in healthy debate. Check the responses by muslims to well reasoned and fact based counter arguments.

Do feel free to join in.
