Matt and Derek discuss the recent attack on Salman Rushdie and how the West has failed to support Western values such as free speech in the modern era.  Topics include the history of the Satanic Verses, the response of the West, whether words are violence, the criticism of ideas, and the implications of religious provincialism.
