Inhabiting Rekab Street (that's Baker Street backwards)

This is an interesting variation of the Nick Cohen thesis found in "What's Left". The main advantage is that it takes a lot less time to read than Cohen's book.

It's from Richard Landes, over at The Augean stables. He's arguing, much as Andrew Roberts does in the last item I sent here, that Enlightenment thinking should trump Medieval theocratic thinking (or, if you prefer, proper progressive attitudes versus clerico-fascism). Read and enjoy.
