Islamic Sydney

Is it time we had freedom from religion?

An Islamic school is being established in Sydney under a Sheik leader who has urged children to "die for Allah", called Jews "pigs" and abused non-believers in vilest terms.

In the 21stC century does tolerance of ignorance and superstition have its limits?

I'm all for it.
