Chuck Palahniuk’s novel, Fight Club, has several different explanations of how to make napalm at home.
Today, a Muslim British teenager was sentenced for two years for downloading and possessing information of a similar kind two or three years ago. I bought Fight Club from Waterstone’s a year or so ago, completely openly. I’ve not heard of any mass book burnings to take my copy down to recently. What’s going on? I just don’t understand.
It’s no wonder that British Muslims feel victimised. According to the rationale supporting this conviction, surely everyone who owns a copy of Palahniuk’s novel – or even perhaps a copy of the popular Brad Pitt and Ed Norton movie – should be locked up for the safety of the public.
Am I missing something here?
