This week we continue a deep and meaningful discussion that ranges across the political spectrum. Douglas Murray andNickCohenjoin Tom Paine to disucuss the failures on both Left and Right to come to terms with a Jihadi threat.

On the Right we have Douglas Murray, the director of the think tank, CentreforSocial Cohesion and the author of "Neo-Conservatism:WhyWeNeed It".

From the Left, broadly speaking, as he's not on good terms with most of his former comrades just at present,isBritishjournalist Nick Cohen, author of "What's Left: How Liberals Lost their Way".

This is the second of a two part disucssion and should not be missed. They explore the failing of the left and of partsoftheright to come to terms with the real enemy everyone is facing. You can find part one here.

In blog news this week I talk about the "Free Speech in an age of Jihad" conference I attended. Atlas Shrugs has much more about it.

Free Speech is now officially under attack, and as some of the Canuck Six are just private citizens with little corporatebacking, do please visit Small DeadAnimals and Five Feet of Fury

And seeing as we'reliving in the 21st century with this her newfangled internet thingy, you can also buy the t-shirt.
