Taking The Myth – 26 July 2015 – Faith Schools

Leave a comment

 

 

This week on Taking The Myth, Stephen Knight and A Scotsman Abroad discuss the big topics with guest callers. Topics include: The Muslim Faith School threatening to expel students for mixing with ‘outsiders’, David Cameron’s recent speech on extremism, Maajid Nawaz, the state of modern Journalism and so-called ‘experts’. We also wonder whether digital content can also limit horizons. A Scotsman Abroad also lays out his proposal* for dealing with murderous extremists.

*Definitely a joke. I think. Likely a joke. I hope he’s joking.
