Help Tim Ireland, update

On Sunday I had a post asking people to help Tim Ireland fight a smear campaign.

Unfortunately, it has got a lot worse: he's now receiving threats of violence from complete strangers.

As far as he can make out it stems from a group called "the Cheerleaders" who claim to be an anti-fundamentalist Muslim group. They've been infesting the comments on Barth's Notes since the start of the year, who also seems to be getting hassle, albeit of a lot weaker sort, but refuse to come out into the open.

These people are nothing more than cowards and, if anything, their actions are those of extremists.

PS. My article on Sunday received two (!) comments. One was sympathetic, from some one linking to something called the Couchtripper forum, one was a link to a very childish anti-Tim attack site.
