I don’t believe that atheist tracts can be helpful against religious fundamentalism; it’s more likely that they create more antagonism between the senders and the receivers. If you were a billionaire philanthropist, it would be more useful to provide funds for schools that provide children with the intellectuals tools that help them deal with superstition, intolerance and rhetoric. Otherwise, these things become part of their frame of reference and make them an easy pray for fundamentalist movements.

And if you insist on dropping books, take a look at ‘From Outrage to Courage: Women Taking Action for Health and Justice’ and ‘Where There Is No Doctor’ (http://www.hesperian.org/publications_download_wtnd.php).

She’s been released now, which means alls well that ends well etc.

Another good thing to emerge from the whole sorry (and farcical) episode is that loads of British muslims have come out and pointed out how stupid and medieval the behaviour of those Sudanese clerics was.

And that’s great, as it shows that it’s possible to be muslim, British and not a crazed paranoid blood-crazed freak, which is a lesson some young men in our cities needed to know, and many white middle-class Daily Mail readers had forgotten.
