RIGHT-WINGERS RESPOND TO HARVEY WEINSTEIN: MEN AREN'T THE PROBLEM, THEY'RE THE SOLUTION!
Right-wingers have been following the Harvey Weinstein news and have concluded that the solution to sexual predation in Hollywood is ... men. RedState's Kimberly Ross writes: *In The Wake Of Weinstein, Masculinity Isn’t The Problem; It’s The Solution* ... Among the many roles a man has is that of protector. We have seen men fill this role countless times in society. Closer to home, we see it in the many good men who we have in each of our lives: fathers, brothers, friends, neighbors, and co-workers. ... Examples of true masculinity are either reinforced or shattered in childhood. ... more »

Gunpowder
A BBC radio programme I particularly enjoy is Radio 3's *Free Thinking*. It's like a higher-quality version of Radio 4's *Start the Week*, and it's usually on for five nights a week. Its presenters are excellent and the range of topics is wide. It goes pleasingly deep too. And it's surprisingly broad-minded too on matters political. Catching up with the more promising-looking editions of last week's offerings I came across an interview with Ronan Bennett, the writer of a new, three-part, prime-time BBC One historical drama about the Gunpowder Plot.

Maajid Nawaz and the 'what about the Jews' callers

Quite revealing the calls from Muslims whose reaction to the banning of sex segregation in schools was "what about the Jews". I'd say I was shocked but I've heard this sort of talk before. When Islam is criticised then some Muslims have an automatic "what about the Jews" reaction. The hatred that some Muslims have for Jews is visceral and obsessive.

Is Iran's Navy a Threat to America?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Middle East* Here is how Tehran could be a danger on the high seas. Iran’s naval forces are some of the smallest but most aggressive in the region. Decades of sanctions and embargoes have strangled the navy’s attempts to modernize, leaving a smaller than expected naval force whose most intimidating features are homebrewed frigates, coastal missile batteries and swarms of fast, lightly armed fast-attack craft. Despite their size, the strategic importance of the Persian Gulf and its proximity to a major portion of the world’s oil supply mean that Iran’s n... more »

The third story on the Sky News website this morning is an update on yesterday's story of the release of a Canadian/American family from captivity at the hands of Taliban allies in Afghanistan. On arriving in Toronto, the father has now claimed that the Islamist faction raped his wife and murdered his baby girl. The BBC News website, however, has no updates on this story, and yesterday's original BBC report is now only to be found low down on the Asia page.

We are each other's keepers, we are the guardians of our own humanity and even though there's a beast inside all of us, what sets us apart from the animals is that we can think, feel, dream and love.
