Allah’s Creatures

I see that Ayaan Hirsi Ali has finished the script of Submission II – the followup to the film that caused outrage in the Muslim community last year. She doesn’t seem to have relented in her efforts to point out what she views as failings in Islam, this time the script explores Islamic attitudes towards homosexuals. And they’re not a bundle of fun. Good luck to her, it will be interesting to see if she manages to get the film made. And if it is, doubtless it will act as a lightning rod in the same manner as the first. All the pus of anti-gay hatred will probably come to a head. I don’t know whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing. Sometimes boils are better lanced.
