  • Daily Mail: Christians more militant than Muslims, says equality chief Trevor Phillips
    June 20th, 2011
    Christians are more militant than Muslims in complaining about discrimination, the head of Britain’s equality watchdog has claimed.
  • Guardian: Should religious law be curbed?
    June 20th, 2011
    Caroline Cox has introduced a bill to the House of Lords that would have the effect of curbing sharia tribunals by making it clear that they have no authority in law to deal with family or criminal matters (including domestic violence). Lady Cox's bill is backed by Christians and secularists. But is it necessary? Will it have positive effects? Or will it simply raise prejudice against Muslims? And it is possible to have a form of sharia that is compatible with our views on equality: can any good come from a code in which a woman's evidence is automatically worth half a man's?

  • Cranmer (blog): BBC exposes the inefficacy of the ‘morning-after’ pill. Where’s the uproar?
    June 18th, 2011
    Funny, isn’t it? The BBC screens a documentary about ‘assisted suicide’ in which a man is shown drinking poison and dying on a comfy Dignitas sofa in snowy Switzerland, and most of the Church unites with the right-wing press in a furore of condemnation. The left-leaning media are largely content that another taboo has been broken, advocating that ‘assisted suicide’ is a bit like abortion and should be available to anyone over the age of consent.
