Embarassing agreement

Oh dear. I seem to agree with Justin McKeating about something.

"I will buy the Jewel of Medina by Sherry Jones but only if 20 other freedom of speech supporters will do the same."

I signed. I'd have bought it anyway (haven't yet - I got a bit too clicky so the pledge pages suggests I have), but what the hell, a pledge is as good a way as any to show support for authors and publishers threatened by religious psychopaths.
