Interesting to see that some people people on Indymedia have condemned the forthcoming March For Free Expression (London, Saturday 25th), as racist and islamophobic. It seems that they've chosen to forget libertarianism and secularism - both corner stones of 'classical' anarchism - rather than risk offending Islamistsm or face the accusation of being Islamophobic. Personally I see little difference between their attitude and that of the reptiles in the SWP/Respect.
Thankfully civil libertarians like Peter Tatchell take liberty and free expression much more seriously.
