YouTube is one of my favourite stops on the Internet. It's a freewheeling, open-ended mix of creativity and honest opinion that is open to all comers-- unless, that is, you criticise Islam, in which case your videos will get pulled and your account cancelled.
A reader recently asked me to post a link to Patrick Henry's It's in the Koran, which skewer's the Islamfacist mindset beautifully, but can be misinterpreted as having a go at the Koran itself. I've shied away from promoting it because I think it's much better to drive a wedge between truly moderate Muslims and the Jihadists rather than taking on Islam, which is a battle more properly fought from the pulpits and minerats and in the hearts of men free to follow their consciences. However, when Youtube decided to yank it after complaints from the likes of CAIR, that's when it's time to close ranks.

Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
