Christopher Hitchens on Islamic cartoons and free speech.

[ultimateZigzag]

I miss Hitchens already.

[DoctorOfDisbelief]

@ultimateZigzag As do we.

[lewisbreland]

I LOVE Hitch!

[superwowie111]

Strategic WHAT?!

[flobblepop1]

Does Ahmed Younis remind anyone else of a muppet? Kermit the Frog, maybe?

[sparkymmilarky]

HITCH SLAPPED

[hakimzada100]

you hate islam and day by day increaase your fight agianst islam , just beacause islam says eccept one god , and leave idol worshiping , and says to blieve on god who sent moses and jesus to their people to guide them to straight path. islam is spreading over the world, and it willl gain victory . There is no god but Allah and Muhammed is his slave and massenger , i invite you all to islam , go and search about islam dont be arrogant to find the truth , our god is one and one

[sillysod33]

@hakimzada100

blah blah blah

what a load of shite

heard it all before, and it's shitey shite on every hearing. fuck off back to your cave and your frightened women mate.

[schpoutns]

@hakimzada100 yeah, right... and how do we make the difference between your claims and catholic ones...or the great Cthulhu, the jews, the flying spaghetti monster(ramen!), and so long? The reality is : you don't know anything more than me, maybe less because you refuse science and all the REALITY who come with it... And the fact that you believe in an ancient book doesn't prevent my right to say that this book is wrong! and i will fight for this right if I have to!

[AwesomeSauceLimited]

@hakimzada100 2 words for you. Any. Evidence?

[halflifeproductionz]

oh man I wish hitchens was alive so he can debate the upcoming islamofascist in britain, hamza tzortzis who thinks beheading is painless.

[GSW12345]

"strategic discourse" hahah

[TheShadowOfMars]

8:28

Ahmed is arrogant/deluded to claim that his individual nice humanistic interpretation of Islam is the one "clear" tradition. But Christopher (missing him already) shows close-minded prejudice by refusing to see a nice manifestation of Islam when it's right in front of his face.

Ahmed's point about the ayatollah not speaking for Muslims is absolutely valid - Christopher's invokation of what "they" do is just a libellous tribal stereotype, categorising "the Muslims" as a single moral agent.

[hakimzada100]

You western people and Govt are discusting . Why you are jelouse of Muslims , why not to pick on Hindus and Jews , this shows how you people hate truth ( Islam) , but no matter what u do Islam will enter every house either it will give grace to house are humiliate it by not eccepting Islam .

[Nichegonovogonetu]

@hakimzada100 Thank you for exposing the totalitarian aspect of Islam. Why don't YOU pick on Hindus and Jews, oh wait :) You're picking on everyone who is not Muslim. Or, to state it more precisely, who's not Muslim who confess his or her faith in conformity with your "school" or "tradition."

[Beaudy13]

@hakimzada100 Islam cannot enter every house. There will always be those of us who find your schizophrenic, war-mongering, pedophiliac "Prophet" and his teachings revolting. People who speak out against Islam (submission and not "truth") believe in women's equality, the rights of all people, and in free will. Islam allows for none of those three.

[harkelin]

@Beaudy13 Well said!

[Beaudy13]

@hakimzada100 And Jealous of Muslims? We pity you. You who are so completely brainwashed by a book written some 40 years after your "prophets'" death that you become unable to question even the most ridiculous parts of it. You do realize the Koran is a blatant plagarism of the Bible, which is a blatant rip-off of the Torah? Islam's teachings are laughable and those whodefend it are mindless slaves

[harkelin]

@hakimzada100 Islam (and every other religion with it) is a state of mind set in the dark ages, and there it should have stayed. I pity the fool who does not think for himself - like every religios human on this planet.

[jwdogg1551]

I have no fucking idea what Ahmed is trying to argue. His contention is painfully vague. My mom was a writer, and taught something which still sticks with me to this day: "smaller words, bigger thoughts".

[LucisFerre1]

This vid is full of classic taqiyya lies.

Show me *ONE* Muslim who will repudiate the Koran, specifically Sura's 4:34 and 4:15, which say that a woman should be house arrested until death because she was accused but not tried in the court of law, and that a man should beat his wife if he merely fears that she MIGHT rebel against his arbitrary dictates.

Islam is an abomination in the eyes of the civilized world.

[azdv]

I think it's undeniable that if you say "those damn Christians" or "those damn Hindus" or any religion, they do not react (if at all) with anywhere near the same vigour and rage as if you had said "those damn Muslims". No one has any right to kill anyone or break anything or commit crimes just because you take offense. It's such a childish and infantile thing to do. I'm offended by heaps of shit everyday but I have no right to physically commit a crime or do anything. I have my words though!

[qwertypluss]

More babble, loool what a man

[CharlieSnipes1]

i wish religion would be wiped off this world

[scar504]

"strategic what?????" i laugh every time what is this guy talking about that didn't even make sense

[warrior152]

That's right I hate Christian beliefs as much as I do Islamic ones. V V V

TO ALL RELIGIOUS PEOPLE: believe what you want to believe, just understand that your wrong

[romanorthodox]

@warrior152 are you a center leftist? or retardbral?

do you live in massachusetts or canada?

you really believe that 5000 or 6000 years are wrong and dumbrals are right?

there is no force beyond ignorance

[DoctorOfDisbelief]

@romanorthodox  Please elaborate.

[romanorthodox]

@DoctorOfDisbelief

1- not seeing something by eye doesnt mean that it doesnt exist

2- 5000 years just cannot be wrong, compared to10-15 years old new age ideas

3- google "Scientists and Their Beliefs in God"

your logic can be better than the list here (Maxwell / Elbert / Gauss / Volta)

4- I, as an engineer worked in harmonizing waves ... how can a universe be harmonized - by dice throws?? there must be a super power to harmonize it

[DoctorOfDisbelief]

@romanorthodox Over the past five-thousand years, humans have gone from believing thousands of different creation myths, none of which could have been physically true, to developing a scientific understanding of the world and universe. While not complete, it is in every way, shrinking the place for your god to hide. Your own religion has had to change from believing everything written, to accepting the teachings as allegory.

I as an engineer, designed integrated circuits that are now in space.

[DoctorOfDisbelief]

@romanorthodox Not seeing something by eye does not make the default position your god. Drop your claim of authority re: engineering. I'm an engineer and won't be impressed. Your lack of understanding does not make a super power/creator any more likely.

[romanorthodox]

@DoctorOfDisbelief you produced 1 or 2 ICs or 5

what sort of ICs do the bats or immigrant birds have? 74LS281? or cirrus logicICs?

who produced their non-sonic-waves? which replicate to their offspring

random?

Can your IC reproduce its I/O forms to its offspring?

this is the difference between you and the "God".... you cant pass the limits of your intelligence & cheap sand resources

A company designs IC

who designs a man?

If you dont understand that ... you are not qualified for my next question

[DoctorOfDisbelief]

@romanorthodox One doesn't design semiconductors for space without a significant understanding of, and background in, physics. Can you design anything? Have a single successful original device or patent of any kind? Judging from your lack of logic, it is quite doubtful. No one designs a man. Who designed your god?

[romanorthodox]

@DoctorOfDisbelief

No one designs a man. Who designed your god?

That was the exact statement I expected to disqualify you from further questions

you cant even imagine that the (bio-bio) / (bio-non bio) / (non bio non bio) system is A DESIGN not RANDOM

Its pre Aristotle's simple question of how much are three fives

You answered by 5+5+5 =15

which means lack of multiplication tables

I believe that 1 or 2 of your fathers grew up out of family - in orphanage / etc.

hit the books and come back

[MattSingh1]

I'm glad the inbreds that posted anti-Islamic (I.E racist/facsist) comments decided to completely ignore the fact Hitchens and other athiests take equal shots at 'white' religions as much as Islam. Fail unintelligent buffoons, fail.

[MrMasoodrodman1]

oh got i hate educated muslims,.,.,.,the thing is in case of such people its hard to separate bullshit from lies

[MrMasoodrodman1]

haha fuck muslims

[KootenaySteve]

fuck mohamed! Dirtbag!

[BizzareCorpse]

@KootenaySteve NO,MUSLIMS R RIGHT THERES SOMETHING SUPERNATURAL..CAUSE MOHAMMED WAS WEARIN A SEXY TURBIN ONE DAY AN ALLAH BUTTFUCKT HIM AN WEEKS LATER MOHAMMED SUPERNATURALLY SHIT OUT A BABY CALLED OSAMA BIN LADEN..

[jamma246]

Ahmed got hitched.

[darkglobe09]

more babble......more BABBLE LMFAO

[metal101ish]

how dare you bring up Bosnia?! hahhhahahahaha

[acphenom]

Babble = Hitchens' favourite word :D

[SUNTZUROK]

"stratigic what?"

[Salimlahore]

Freedom of expression is a sacred right here in the west. Therefore, muslim extremists and their cult, must understand this. If they can earn and live as safe as everyone else does, they must also observe our law and respect our 'Free speech' rights, which z not common n places they come. And if it wz only 1% of masses, thn Y do we cater d demands of these crook elements? and Y thr z no moral outrage, whn Christian & Bahai's are burned in pakistan........

[BillF1967]

"Less than 1% of the Muslim masses??" Oh, well, where are the teems of moderate Muslims who rise up in support of free speech and against the small minded zealotry of the pious few? Where are the teems of moderate Muslilms who rise up in support of the rights allowed by the liberal democratic states that have given them asylum? If you don't like the notion of free speech, you are free to go back to the neolithic theocracy from which you came.

[daddyknows11]

Of coarse you have the right to free speech... that doesnt mean you wont get your head blown off. Look at MArtin Luther King.

[mleonsmith]

More babble!! LMAO

[CenkIsAdorable]

You can't cage Hitchens. Hitchens is like a tiger you've kept as a pet for many years...you think it's your friend until one day it rips your fucking face off.

[Otzmatron]

Strategic WHAT?!

[GorgeousGeorge108]

Younis is also a useful idiot - spewing out bullshit sophistry left, right and center! Go Hitch baby!!!!!

[jajohnson7809]

Didn't this happen in like 2004 or '05? I remember it, but know it's been a while.

[cupcakechagrin]

younis is a dangerous fool.

[cupcakechagrin]

younis is dangerous fool.

[Schijthuis]

Christopher is een eindbaas!

[preemptivestrike20]

Christopher is the voice of sanity.

[MaskedMarvyl]

Oh my lord; towards the end, Younis actually says "one of the products of Sharia as studied in classical discourse (as opposed to unclassical discourse) is the protection of products of the mind, especially freedom of speech".

So Sharia is all about protecting freedom of speech. Riiiiiiiiiight........

[MaskedMarvyl]

Younis, Younis, Younis... you're speaking out of both sides of your mouth, and doing it badly. Get a load of what he says at 2:20 on: "Of course freedom of speeach stands, but those in power have responsibility, and thePope has condemened these cartoons, and the Danish papers keep republihing these cartoons...." he's all over the place. And very, very dishonest about his real feelings. Who cares if the cartoons are published a hundred times? Let them be offended...

[MaskedMarvyl]

Ahmed Younis: "This is about Strategic Discourse". No, Younis. Say it with me:

It's about freedom.... of....speech. C'mon, I'll help you make the sounds: freedom...of...speech. See? It's easy when you're not so terrified that you use spineless terms like "strategic discourse".

As for the "1%" of muslims you talk about Younis, where are the other 99% of muslims telling them to knock it off and stop making all muslims look bad?

They're as hard to find as WMDs in Iraq...

[bigjstokes]

"strategic what?" classic

[kidlomax]

Hitch does the bitch slap again!

[cherylsalo]

You have the right to offend others and to be offended in return.

[SteveDutchy]

I just finished a war on my toilet... a giant turd was the result. It had the shape of the letters I S L A M

[jjdecani]

Hitchens is the fucking MAN.

[mleczko79]

muslim piece of shit....

[metrx330]

The muslim guy just kept babbling away using way out and nebulous phrases. Evading the question is always a signal of someone with something to hide. Vain attempts to change the topic of discussion is a symptom of a deceptive mind.

[drandersw]

Muslim assholes
