I think she may well have a point about it being the last acceptable prejudice.
For me personally, I don't care much for any religion. I do, however, believe that people can be divided into moderates and extremists. But for me the most important division is into terrorists and not, those who use violence to gain their political ends and those who don't. I'm on the side of those who use democracy to reach political goals and against those who use violence. In that case, faith doesn't come into it.

25th Anniversary of Tory conference bombing
Terrorism eh? Very bad and nasty, even against Tories.
Another example of why democracy must triumph over terrorism and violence, even if it must be the lesser of two evils by compromising itself.
Despite being a liberal, almost libertarian, socialist, i can sympathise with authoritarian government on the basis of protecting life. This is relevant with regards to what we are facing now, and i think pragmatism must win the day. Ideally, it should be put to the people: to forego freedom for life, ir forego life for freedom.
I'd go for the latter, but i wouldn't impose than on others without their consent
