Of
all values, free speech is the most precious. It is an integral
part of free will, which distinguishes between a human and
subhuman.
Britain has led the world in the development and advocacy of free speech.
This virtue is the mark of honour for this great country but now it is
under constant attack by the Muslim fundamentalists, who are eager to issue
fatwas
against libertarians to deprive them of the right to free speech. Though
its true purpose is self-interest of the Muslim clerics, it is done under
the pretext of insulting Islam. These fanatics issued such a Fatwa during
March, 1994, against the writer, who has decided to expose the causes of
the Muslim fundamentalism in Liberty,
his quarterly publication. No insult whatever is intended to Islam; it
is simply a challenge to the Muslim scholars to produce their reasons to
the contrary. After all, the Koran advocates settling issues through argument
(Cow:111). If they do, pages of Liberty are at their disposal.
