There is a very good article by Keenan Malik, on the subject of blasphemy, identity politics, and the threat to free speech, at http://kenanmalik.wordpress.com/2012/01/29/beyond-the-sacred/
And, as might be expected, Jesus and Mo have something to say on the subject: http://www.jesusandmo.net/2012/01/25/multi/

January at last
January 5, 2012It’s a few days late, but the January issue is now online. I’d hoped to get it together before I went away for the New Year, but a family crisis intervened. These things happen.
It’s a small and select issue, but a good one, I think.
Next month, of course, will be Jessy Randall’s Found Poetry special issue (for which the deadline has now passed). It promises to be a very entertaining read.
Meanwhile, Snakeskin’s head office (editor@snakeskin.org.uk) will be delighted to receive contributions for the March issue.
