Lots of reminders and insights in his piece.....beginning with the simple fact that what, in the end, saved him was a father who insisted his son think hard and well for himself. A touch of Socrates against Islam's mind-numbing Calliclean brays.
Which is depressing, because even in the Western universities [never mind the Madrassahs]the Socratic is barely even a memory.
Am now in the "greater" Boston area, and as soon as have a computer set up [using Framingham's library right now]will return to this blog, to the world and to thought, and perhaps even to Life.
Later, amici

This article smacks of a condensed version of Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Infidel, but without the female circumcision component.
