Small wonder then that the Tories made so much of a ruckus about it at the election, and why William Hague, the Tory leader, continued to makeafussabout it in the House of Commons on July 23rd.
The convenience of quickly firing an off an email to a friend or colleague without having to makeafussabout what the focus of the conversation is would not be a freedom users would want to part with anytime soon.
And to make such a big fussabout just one book, one audiotape of one person who is not really very well known in this (unintelligible) community of Islam in the West or contemporary Islamic revival is not a way to go.
