The feature interview this week is with Kamal Nawash, head of the Free Muslim Coalition Against Terror, who says if people say or write or draw bad things about the Prophet Mohammed, he may be offended, but if so, that’s just tough!
Andrew Ian Dodge joins us from London where the streets are full of Muslim Rage (TM), and the bedrooms of Liberal Democrat Party MPs are...well, you don't want to know what they're full of, trust me. Laurence Simon gets his priorities right by focusing on the real news, which is of course Britney's baby!And we have a new contributor to SNN, it’s Meryl Yourish, who will contribute an item called “On Second Thought” each week.

In Blog News, for the second week in a row it’s all cartoons, all the time!

Andrew Sullivan reminds us that 'twas ever thus, with a passage from Beaumarchais' "Figaro" about 18th century Muslim Rage (TM) which bears a striking similarity to its 21st century cousin.You know, the fact that they've been trying this stunt for hundreds of years actually comforts me not at all?And Canadian blogger Kathy Shaidle points to something we can all have a good laugh at, frm Religion News Blog.
