Spineless in the West

OK, Sam Harris--one of the newly vocal apologists for atheism--is not someone I read often; and the Huffington Post is certainly not a site on my regular rounds. But this piece is absolutely worth reading, re: the absurd preemptive obedience and self--censorship the various organs of the Western press are wrong-footing us with vis-a-vis radical Islamism.

This war is being fought and won in the media sphere. But not by the West.
