Quote of the day

The simple fact is that any system of ideas that decides you have to ringfence it, that you cannot discuss it in fundamental terms, that you can't say that this bit of it is junk, or that bit is oppressive ... we are supposed to respect that?

- Salman Rushdie, at the Edinburgh international television festival, debating with George Galloway
