  1. Apostasy, Blasphemy and Free Expression in the Age of ISIS
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2015
    The right to religion comes with a corresponding right to be free from religion.
  2. Banned in Pakistan
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2018
    Pakistan's decision to censor 'blasphemous' websites provides a new perspective on the attitudes of many Western liberals towards Charlie Hebdo.

    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2012
    A transcript on Malik's talk "Beyond the Sacred" at a conference on blasphemy.
  4. Blasphemy: Information Sacrificed on the Altar of Religion
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2013
    There are far too many countries where news and content providers constantly face a very special and formidable form of censorship, one exercised in the name of religion or even God. And with increasing frequency, this desire to thwart freedom of information invokes the hard-to-define and very subjective concept of the “feelings of believers.”
    This is a minefield. Reporters Without Borders has analysed it and offered its recommendations in a report entitled “Information sacrificed on altar of religion.”
  5. Blasphermy, Religious and Secular
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2018

    Resource Type: Book
    First Published: 1974
    Analyzes how aesthetic, sexual and ideological subversives use film to change and demystify.
  7. The Future Belongs to the Blasphemers
    A message from ex-Muslims to mark International Blasphemy Day
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2017
    Some people believe that disagreeing with deeply held beliefs is hate. It is not. I want to remind you that many of the most powerful ideas, ideas that changed our world were once heretical. I want to remind you that many of the most radical thinkers and reformists in past eras were blasphemers against the established order of their day.
  8. Other Voices: The Connexions Newsletter - May 7, 2015
    Urban agriculture and local food production

    First Published: 2015
    This issue of Other Voices ranges widely, from increasing worker activism and strikes in China, to advances in battery technology that make it much easier and cheaper to store solar and wind energy for future use, to testimonies from Israeli soldiers about the war crimes they committed routinely and as a matter of policy in last summer's attack on Gaza.
  9. Pakistan, hostage of the religious - The radical left in resistance
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2018
    Radical leftists strive amid fundamentalist hostility in Pakistan where blasphemy is a serious charge with its roots in colonial religious divisions.

  11. The Rushdie Affair and Its Aftermath
    Kenan Malik's "From Fatwa to Jihad"
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2011
    The Rushdie affair is shrouded by myths—that the hostility to The Satanic Verses was driven by theology, that all Muslims were offended by the novel, that Islam is incompatible with Western democracy, that in a plural society speech must necessarily be less free.

Mission Connexions exists to support individuals and groups working for freedom and social justice. We work to maintain and make available a record of the theory and practice of people struggling against oppression and for social change. We believe that the more we know about the struggles, victories, and defeats of the past, and about those who took part in them, the better equipped we will be to bring a new world into being. Connexions maintains a physical archive of books and documents, and is engaged in an ongoing project to build and expand an indexed digital archive of documents. We try to feature a wide variety of resources reflecting a diversity of viewpoints and approaches to social change within our overall mandate of support for democracy, civil liberties, freedom of expression, universal human rights, secularism, equality, economic justice, environmental responsibility, and the creation and preservation of community. We are internationalist in our orientation, but as a Canadian-based project we feature an especially extensive collection of Canadian documents and profiles of Canadian activist organizations.
