Muslim Dissenters Make Public Stand Against Islamism
(CNSNews.com) - Islamism is the new totalitarianism, said British author Salman Rushdie and a group of other writers and intellectuals, including some of the Islamic world's most reviled figures, in a declaration published Wednesday. "Like all totalitarianisms, Islamism is nurtured by fears and frustrations," the document says, but adds that nothing - not even despair - justifies the choice of hatred. The statement was carried in a French weekly, and it also appeared in Jyllands Posten, the Danish newspaper which last September published 12 caricatures satirizing Mohammed.
