This week we put two new features online:
Italy has been slow to address the danger of radical Islam. For too
long it was the domain of right-wing rabble-rousers while the left
slumbered away in “Islam correctness”. At last the left-wing liberal
Reset magazine has launched a proper debate. By Franz Haas—————————————————–
The Amsterdam district of Slotervaart, where Theo van Gogh’s murderer

the immigrant communities. Many of their parents have withdrawn from
what they perceive as the hostile outside world, which they invariably
blame when their children go astray. By Margalith Kleijwegt——————————————————

MIGRATION IN MOVIES is an interdisciplinary discussion about the

I do wish Sign&Sight would balance its obsession with “radical Islam” by asking how Italy, Germany or whoever they want to patronise is ‘addressing the danger’ of 1 million or more deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan.
