Fear of Islam

A few weeks ago, I had a "debate" with a very unpleasant fellow at the University of Toronto Law School on the "cartoons."  At the time I accepted the offer to appear in the same forum as this fellow, I thought I was doing a service for a group of students who wanted to create a chapter of the Federalist Society at the U of T.  While never a fan of the politics of that group, I recognized the role that a serious conservative legal group could play in the intellectual life of the law school.  Little did I know that my counterpart in the exercise may very well be the Ann Coulter of Canadian politics.  In any case, I think I more than held my own.  This story in the law school student paper, ultra vires, provides an account of the event.
