State propagandist. Fuck Christopher Hitchens and the lies he tells in his books/lectures/debates - he's an individual who sniffed out Power right quick. Hence why Wolfowitz is a friend of his.. and hence why he attacks Bush (What you're supposed to do, within the framework of their own Propaganda campaign) and NOT the Bush Administration..
I seriously wonder if all his ''work'' on Christianity has any worth at all to it, is it an act to legitmize his dishonest tangents against Islam?
It'll take me 20 Minutes, actually - the book I'm plucking them from is over 1300 pages long. I get the distinct impression that your faith in me isn't very high you know ;P
1) Hitchens repeatedly tried to link Saddam Hussein to 9/11 and Radical Islam, e.g. he claimed that Saddam put the words ''Alluhu Akbar'' on the Iraqi Flag because of his deep-seated passion for Terror, not because he needed the support of the Religious groups.
3) He said Saddam had WMD and that the Deltra Report ''Was wrong in that respect'' for pointing out that he didn't.
4) He claimed that in 1998 Bill Clinton stopped Iran from going to War in Afghanistan; when all they planned on was a Military incursion; ''America actually in this case STOPPED a War between two Muslim Nations..''
5) He claimed that ''The people who killed Leon Klinghoffer'' were Islamists, as part of his usual routine.
6.. Whether or not he had WMD ''It was his *absolute* refusal to say whether he did or didn't'' - ignoring the fact that by the time he made this Statement/lie - Saddam had publically verified he had none.
7) He claimed that a Pyongyang Delegation (Sent of course, under the direct authorization of Kim Jung-Il himself) had been ''Negotiating'' to sell WMD to Saddam; not only is there no evidence of this - there isn't a SINGLE reference to it, anywhere!
8) He claimed that this mythical Pyongyang Delegation had ''Met with Tariq Aziz'' and ''Left shortly before the invasion, because it was getting too hot'' - I quote directly, my source is his interview on Air America with Al Franken.
Isn't it strange that he chose another member of the Neocon's ''Axis of evil'' to bring into his imaginatative story-telling? Anyways, if you want some more lies - hit me up.
@ElDiabloWhoppo If they do get nukes, they won't send them by missile. They will pack it in a shipping container, or if it's small enough, put it in a suitcase. FedEx is cheaper than building a missile.
@glennheston Israel will use nukes before Iran ever will.Iran has the right to protect itself and it's waters.Both their neighbours have been attacked and invaded by western forces.Makes sense.
I find it sad that society always has a reason to be either raciest or Xenophobic towards a ethnicity/culture, which I find hard to understand? first Jews, then black know Muslims? grow up people! your not experts? start finding the true Islam instead of what media mongols tell you to listen to?
Well, certain Islamic sects and understandings are violent cults without place in modern society. Just like Judaism and Christianity it's a wide spectrum. All false and potentially dangerous of course.
But let's not fall into thinking that there is one true 'Islam', dangerous cult or benign faith. Let's leave that thinking to the religious.
wow, sounds like he lived in the Finsbury Park in the 1930s - no violence in the 50s/60s he says - now he says its all Islamic terrorists?????? Odd, its nothing like that.
Zggrt443, let me try to explain a couple of very basic wee facts to you. Yes, Iran IS trying to concoct some dirty wee bomb and yes, you are a fucking idiot of the worst example.
Incidentally, R.I.P. Christopher Hitchens. A TRUE truth sayer if ever there was one. Hopefully Richards Dawkins and Sam Harris will keep the flame alight. R.I.P.
If Iran gets its way with their nuclear bomb - which is what it is they're at - Isreal will get it first, they'll respond - hopefully well. This hate is devised and sustained by the jealous, unhappy and wontingly destructive muslim world. BLINDED by religeon.
@101truthhurts Iran isn't after a nuclear bomb and has every right to nuclear power. Don't believe the warmongers. Peace. ( From a white atheist and pacifist)
@Zggrt443 your first point could never be known based on Iran's lack of up doing anything they say they will or won't do.... second point - No! any country who lets it slip out from time to time the willingness to use nuclear weapons for war and supports groups who use a "mushroom" cloud on flags prob should not have nukes
@Sconezeta Cool. That means Israel should be watched then...ever heard of the "samson option"? Hope Israel comes clean on their nuke problem soon then as I trust Iran, a country that hasn't attacked another nation in a hundred odd years, with nuclear capabilities far more then a nation that uses white phosphorous against civilians or a certain other nation who was the only one to use nuclear weapons against another and has a history of aggression.
Christopher is now gone (Dec 15, from pneumonia as a result of his cancer), but I hope his words and YouTube videos stay around awhile, a long while. He in my opinion has for this generation been the most erudite of the horsemen and others in elucidating the atheist and anti-theist positions. Here's hoping that someone with his sense of humor and talent for critical thought and the use of words shows up to replace him.
Hitch is a fashion a tool for the day he is not a subtitute to Religion or truth."
No not a substitute - In the same way that a good pair of shoes are not a substitute for feet hardened by walking. One is not only more robust than the other, it is much superior and can be discarded if a better option comes along.
Secular West is falling to Islam. And secularists don't have the know how to deal with it. Support a CATHOLIC STATE.....if you don't want the Caiphate shoved down your gob.
I did not see one single condemnation march from the Muslims against 9/11 terrorists nor about the stoning of women in Iran nor about the murder of several MPs in Pakistan against the country's draconian Blasphemy Laws. I see them up in arms protesting the Danish cartoon, or the banning of the Burqa because it affects ALL muslims. Solidarity is not based on convenience.
Anjem Choudary is an example of what Hitch is talking about. A senior member of an extreme terrorist group called UK4Islam, stated aim of which orgnisation is to turn the UK into an Islamic emirate. These fanatical islamists need to realise that the british will tolerate only so much before we turn against them.
Hitchens speaks a great deal of sense. The Labour government let in millions of Muslims and now you have mosques in every town in England and areas which alienate most non-Muslims ie. women in burkas, halal what not, wailing minarets and people not learning or making any effort to speak English. It's true they want to convert everyone and have no tolerance for any other religion, for democracy or the British way of life.
Bloodthirsty drunkard who has retired to start a worm farm. Satan has sent a delegation to heaven telling him they don't want the asshole and asking if temporary housing can be found for him in limbo.
This is the special career move that every neocon should make.
@MrTexasArcane What a revealing insight into the religious mind and the nasty vile and infantile thinking which follows, You think Hitch was a neocon? How dare you damn him with such feint praise?, he was so much worse! Long Live Hitch!
@MrTexasArcane Nawww... trouble in your life, poor little scared religious douche. Your imaginary friends was no match for Chris H while living - IF there were a God or satan or any paper character after this life, Chris has already Crushed them into oblivion. Maybe that's why U mad? little bearded Old Fart in atoms, dead, not even twitching.
To Chris: You did and said more than most ever could about truth and inspiring to peoples OWN thinking. Now it''s up to the still living. You're so missed
THE ATHEIST IS DEAD AND THE MUSLIMS WILL SOON RULE. THE WHITE PEOPLE WILL SOON BE CONQUERED. THIS FAT PIG MAN IS DEAD IN THE GROUND ALLAH WILL PREVAIL!
Christopher Hitchens is one of the finest minds to come from Blighty. I have learned how a true thinker, contrarian and wit can elucidate historical figures, the falacies of political and religious leaders such as Clinton, Mother Theresa etcetera. I reccommend anybody reading his books
@CharlotteElliot Me thinks not. He was a neoconservative interventionist who supported the invasion of Iraq and the subsequent genocide - labeling anyone who questioned the legitimacy of US foreign policy as "crackpots".
An intellectual apologist for a warmongering elite, basically, and no loss to humanity.
@BigEricHunt Complete garbage.He was not a neo con he simply abandoned the post modernist left because of it's hypocrisy and it's love of authoritarianism.As for genocide,it's not the west that is sending suicide bombers into mosques and packing cars with explosives to kill civilians who want to get the country on it,s back on its feet.
@jemorrismmorris Hitchens was a neo-con. He switched from bashing the Zionist warmongers to blindly supporting them - just as you seem to be doing with your selective interpretation of events in the Middle East.
If Iraq hadn't been illegally invaded at the cost of 200,000 Iraqi lives then there wouldn't be Iraqi insurgents and suicide bombers for you to distract the blame.
@BigEricHunt Do you really think that with the death or removal of Saddam Hussein that this wouldn't have happened?This was in our future whether we wanted it or not.
As for "Zionist warmongers" you give your self away with that stupid comment,and it would seem to the post modernist left any one who disagrees with their dogma is a neo con.
@jemorrismmorris I agree that the bombing & occupation of Iraq was pre-determined by the Neo-Cons/Zionists/illuminati who control our puppet leaders. But intellectual shills like Hitchens - who pretend to "objective" - served to legitimise these actions on "humanitarian" grounds (the irony being there are no humanitarian grounds for starving & bombing civilians).
Hitchens greatest contribution to humanity was on 15th Dec 2011, when he died.
@jemorrismmorris I can't really comment on reptilian bloodlines as I haven't researched enough on the subject. Though the concept seems no more ridiculous than the bronze age fairy stories that billions of people still believe in today (i.e. religion). I'm sure that Hitchens would agree...?
@BigEricHunt As for genocide you seen to have no problem with the very real genocide being carried out by Saddam Hussein on the Kurds,the one and a half million who died in a war he started or his invasion of Kuwait.
@BigEricHunt Neither I nor Hitch are the U.K.or the U.S.Both myself and Hitch where critical of that,but you seem to think that it was ok to sit back and let Saddam Hussein use them.
@jemorrismmorris You are incredibly naive. In 2003, I marched with 1 million other free thinkers in London against the invasion on Iraq. Idiots like you believed the WMD lies and Neo-Con/Zionist propaganda (and probably still do).
What will your next idiotic argument be: That Saddam was responsible for 9/11..???
@BigEricHunt I never believed about the WMD.If you would bother to find out why Hitch supported the war you would find the it was for very different reasons to the U.S, and U.K. line.You have just illustrated perfectly your dogmatic thinking with the abuse of someone who disagrees with you.
You are so blinded by your anti American and anti Semitic bigotry you don't even bother to investigate and you end up making huge assumptions about why someone would have a different opinion.
@jemorrismmorris Labeling me as an anti-semitic bigot is both ignorant and hypocritical on your part. Firstly, Zionists use anti-semitism as a shield against criticism. You wouldn't describe someone who disagrees with jihadi suicide bombers as "anti-Muslim" would you? Secondly, I support peace: No nation should ever be attacked because of it's culture or religion. Hitchens hated Islam - and advocated an aggressive interventionist foreign policy in order to suppress it. And you supported him!
@BigEricHunt Firstly,anti semites use Zionism as a shield against criticism.
I do disagree with jihadi suicide bombers and I am labelled anti Muslim.
Secondly I also support peace but I am not so naive as to think pacifism will achieve that end.The pacifist line was taken in Somalia and look what a great success that's been.
@jemorrismmorris Hitchens was a self-proclaimed anti-Zionist who said: "The real axis of evil is Christianity, Judaism and Islam". So if I'm a bigoted anti-semite for referring to Zionists as warmongers, where does this leave your beloved Hitchens?
As for Somalia; Intervening to prevent a human catastrophe (which I fully support) is completely different to invading a country under false pretenses. Try to understand the difference.
@BigEricHunt Judaism and Zionism are completely different and yes I know Hitch was anti Zionist as I am ,it's just that every argument I have ever had over Israel with an "anti Zionist" has always degraded into anti Semitism,but I am willing to concede you are not anti Semitic, and that make all three of us a rare breed.
There was a human catastrophe happening in Iraq which is why Both Hitch and I supported invasion,as I said neither Hitch nor I believed the Bush Blair bullshit.

@BigEricHunt Hitch hated Islam as he hated all religion,as it is just another form of oppression and tyranny,you also conveniently forget he supported military intervention in Kosovo to stop the ethnic cleansing of Muslims.
@BigEricHunt Many people disagreed with Hitch over his support of the war in Iraq but new enough about him to see he was great thinker and supporter of liberty.Lastly he never advocated attacking any country because of it's culture or religion only those thst posed a danger to our civilisation,you know the civilisation you feel so guilty about.
@jemorrismmorris The US sponsored Iraq in the 8-year with Iran in which 500,000 people died. The US showered Saddam with gifts - such as the golden spur from Donald Rumsfeld (who later demonised Saddam - as if he never knew!). They don't give a fuck about a country's domestic affairs just so long as it supports US interests abroad. But if it opposes the US or has resources worth stealing it is immediately demonised.
All the faiths that believe in the God of Moses have a similar history of religeous intolerence.Christianity has disintegrated into about 800 different branches and that is why it is not powerful anymore.If we want peace on earth among mankind we need Islam to go the same way.Disintegration of the faith.Its probly the only way to save the human race from the madness that comes with religeous belief.
Belief in the God of Moses has been a curse upon mankind,with its wars and bloodshed even today.
@GARYWERSLEY well there is sunni and shiite so far(arent they denominations?). here's to that number getting higher, and theocratic power getting lower.
@redryan20000 Suni and Shiite both kill each other,both probly believing that they do Gods work,obeying His Commandment to Moses and his followers at Exodus 34;10-17, "Destroy other religeons!" Kill the nonbeliever.Something that has been practiced thru-out history by religeously intolerent Christians.
The Divinely Inspired Madness continues even in the 21st century.All the faiths that believe in the nonxistent God of the ancient Isrealites have been a Curse on mankind thru-out -history.Fact
war? Islam NEVER made wars! those terrorist groups are only made by the media or recruited by enemies of Islam to change its picture. I don't care about peace here! but in heaven!
let's talk about these wars, shall we?
when muslims want to expand the religion they first ask the people they want to invade if they want peace by either joining the religion or making a conract of peace. even before a battle begins they ask them. peace never occur without wars.
@X3BOOODYX2012 Islam is a religion of Imposition.It is not freely accepted by the majority,it is imposed even though the holy Koran says there can be no compulsion in religion.Peace can occur without war,peace cannot occur as long as some believe in your version of religion and some don't.All the faiths that come from the worship of the God of the ancient Isrealites have the same history of religeouswar.They all consider non belief to be evil.They are all mistaken.They are all Deluded faiths.
reallly? for your information, without even relgion people would kill themselfs for stupid reasons, that's the situation of both europe and arabia, and all other parts of the world, before Islam don't fight for nothing, as you said there is no need for war, before in the islamic countries were powerful, they were respecting all people, letting them practice their beliefs freely. the only delusion is atheism, it's taking over YouTube.
@X3BOOODYX2012 A religeous belief that produces suicide bombers who commit mass murder must surely be seen by any sane and rational person as evil.Islam does not now or ever did,respect other religions.All the faiths that worship the Jealous God of Moses hate each other and those of no faith.Such Hatred is inherent inthese faiths.They are all religions of Imposition.Beliefs that are forced on people.Believe or Burn in Hell say their Holy Scriptures.Believe or Die say Islamists of today.Delusion
for the last time, TERRORISTS are something and islam something else.
in islam who confirms a suicide burns in hell forever, do you really think that those bombers are even muslims? allah didn't order us to attack civilians, but an entire army.
well, you are not forced to believe, but if you don't you ARE going to burn in hell. so you left all the scientifical logic and cared about your emotions right now? ok, live your 60 years in weather what you like.
@X3BOOODYX2012 it does appear that Islamic Terrorists are Guided by scripture,just as the Mad Christians of the Dark Ages were when they killed people for not believing inthe same Religeous Delusion as they did.Religeous belief was enforced by them just as it is today with Mad Islamists.
If I am not forced to believe but will be punished if I do not is some kind of CrazyLogic.
All the faiths that worship the Jealous god of Moses are illogical,unscientific and behave like savages thru history.
well, there are rules for that, if you are originally an atheist, you won't be punished, but if you were a muslim in a muslim country you will be given three days, if you didn't go back you'll killed. you are trying to make christianity and islam the same this is wrong. they were, untill mohammed came out. bible was rewritten. and quran untill now it was never rewritten, they even had ancient ones that matches new ones. and yes, god gave you alot, why not giving him?
@X3BOOODYX2012 I do not feel the need to worship any diety.I do not believe that the Jealous God of the ancient Isrealites is the Creator of the universe.Anymore than I believe that the Great God Zeus ever xisted.Both of these gods are ancient mythology.I do not believe in the Angel Gabriel.Also mythology.The bible has been rewritten many times.Believed by the deluded tobe WordofGod.It was always Delusional belief even fromthe Beginning,sameas Islam and the Koran.Just another popular Delusion.
if so then I don't care, I don't just believe, I know that there's a God who created the universe, the world isn't an accident, more than one million nephrons in my kidney didn't become by accident. I have my belief, and you have your thoughts. that's it.
@X3BOOODYX2012 The religion of Islam is an Irrational Intolerent Deluded belief system.much like Christianity and Judaism.There may actually be a Creator,but it is not the Jealous God of Moses.Belief in that God is a Popular Delusion.
ok, there's a god, then why you're an atheist, you want to discover it yourself afterlife, maybe? it's too risky, son. I'd prefer to live believing in god of moses(Allah) and then I don't find him, rather than living as an atheist and then he finds me. which is worse? I'm asking you this question because you already stated that there is a god.
@X3BOOODYX2012 We cannot know for sure if there is a Creator God or not,but we can examine all the different faiths and see that they are all just different Popular Delusions.The main difference btween the god of Moses and Zeus is that there is no image of Moses god.In most other respects they are the same.Sometimes loving sometimes hating sometimes punishing.Changing His Divine Moods.The notso Immutable God of Moses seems to have mood swings,but no image.I do not fear this imaginary god.
@GARYWERSLEY I'd go a step further and say that from the teachings of these various god i wouldn't bow to them even if they were proven to exist. Something that makes and plays with humans is not something to be worshiped but something to oppose.
we need to restrict trade with the middle east and starve them of all there resources and have air bursts of vx gas + use of dirty bombs and mass use of biological weapons until no one wants that stupid land and we can all live in peace free from religion!
(I'll point to a quote from Hitchens to explain why my retort was so brief; "that which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence")
@MissPallas1 That might be true in some respect, but it is possible that a muslim exists who does not condone honor killings, degradation of women and so forth. One might call that a moderate muslim.
I don't think we will ever be free of islam until we actively declare war on it and expell it from our nation. should it escalate to large scale terrorism we should use dealy force to wipe it from the planet. I know this is a terrible thought should it get that bad. but eventually some version of this is going to happen. otherwise it is going to be hundreds of years before we are rid of religion.
our left wing goverments have made this country like this prince charles should keep his nose out after all he's 1 of the biggist scroungers in the world
Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
Catholicism brought Hell on earth during the time it was in control.It brought with it the Holy Crusades,religeous wars that cost millions of lives.it also brought with it the Holy Inquisition, which lasted for 400 yrs and probly cost a few more million lives.History tells us that at its core Christianity is just as intolerent of other faiths as Islam today.We should be able to look at history and see that simple factand not make the same mistakes again.Religeon is the problem,not the solution.
A CATHOLIC STATE is the only force on earth strong enough to withstand the mighty force of iSLAM. Secularists are semi-sterile sissies. Support a CATHOLIC STATE.....or surrender to the Caliphate!!
Read deuteromy and leviticus before you judge other religions as being bad. Its followers are another story anyways - christians have been diluted into many different denominations and have come up with ideas about god and jesus that have no backing from the bible at all, like the whole "god of love" and "jesus meek and mild" themes.
Islam has not been diluted and is holding ground in some of the poorest countries on earth, so of course you are going to get more violence out of it.
@ac1th Christianity,like Islam,is based on the OT.That is why it has a history of religeous intolerence.They obeyed Gods command to the Jews at Exodus 34:12-16.The Divine root of religeous intolerence.Still practiced today by mad Islamists. All the 'faiths' that come from the God of Moses are inherently religeously intolerent. Islamists kill other Islamists who may be of a different denomination than they.Just as Christianity did thru history in its violent and bloody efforts to stay undiluted.
Most sane and rational people would probly agree that the atrocities of 9/11 and the other terrorist bombings in London and elsewere in the world are crimes against Humanity, commited in the name of the religeon of Islam.Any religeon that seemsto encourage its followers to strap bombs to themselves and commit suicide at the same time as commiting mass murder should be considered as Evil.Such behavior cannot be endorsed by a God of Love but can by a God of Hatred.How can such a God be worshipped?
@GARYWERSLEY "Any religeon that seemsto encourage its followers to strap bombs to themselves and commit suicide at the same time as commiting mass murder should be considered as Evil." Are you talking about American christian radicalism or muslim radicalism because both apply.
Islam is just another popular Delusion, just like Christianity and Judaism. Belief in the God of the ancient Isrealites has been a Curse upon mankind thru-out history and continues to be so even today in the form of Islamic Fundamentalism. All of these 'Faiths' are imposed, not freely accepted.There is a penalty for not believing.Non belief in these Delusions is considered evil in the eyes of the believer.There can never be peace on earth as long as some believe and some do not.
Wrong. Islam is as much religion as it is political and cultural. It encompasses everything in one's being. Not like Christianity and Judaism. We can only hope...pray perhaps?? that Islam is heading for it's own renascence.
@framus88 Islam worships the God of the ancient Isrealites, who is a Jealous God,who commands his followers to destroy all other religeons.Exodus 34:10-14.The Divine Root of religeous intolerence.As practiced today by Islamic fundamentalists.History repeats itself.We have seen it all before,in the shape of Christian Intolerence were they burned to death those who had different idea than they.Islamic rennaisance hoped forbut unlikely.Scriptualists rule Islam.We can xpect similar events as history
learning of the global spread of jihadism is like learning that the world has cancer; yet the upswell of islamic moderates seems to be hitting the world like a long overdue dose of chemo.
@Singebuggercat The real sickness in the world is religeous belief.It can be described as a psychic or spiritual disease that manifests itself in the form of the different faiths that we see in the world today and thru-out history.Religeous people have been at war with each other and with those of no faith since the time of Moses.Religeon is the problem, not the solution.The cure for this disease can only be rationalism,because we can see that 'faith' only causes more problems than it solves.
Hitch should be Prime ministerof the world....sadly too many ppl are morons and worse Hitch is dying fom cancer....he said himself...but if anyone deserves a miracle , I hope Hitch gets one.
... with t.shirts reading "sexy bitch" or low-rise jeans, straightening their hair and caking their faces with make-up is "freedom" in the other. I love how forcefully colonizing countries was at best "civilizing the World", at worst a sad little blooper of the past, and how veiling the sensuous parts of your body is a provocative cultural threat to Western culture that needs to be banned, to guarantee women's right to dispose of their bodies..
@mariekitu I think the point of those of us who wish that all people be free from totalitarian and oppressive theocratic governements is NOT that the women (or whoever) dress a certain way. The point is that they can dress in whichever way they want to. I may not think the girl wearing "sexy bitch" and trampy jeans is attractive, but I will fight for her right to wear whatever the fuck she wants lol. Peace :)
@baughskeet Why the stupid "peace" comment at the end of your comment ? To make it look like you're having the last word ?
You are for no restrictions whatsoever ?
If so surely you must be thinking that forbidding should be forbidden ?
As far as the veil/miniskirt thing is concerned though, restrictions are only coming from western nations, some of whom would like to forbid, or ARE forbidding, veiling in many places. If they don't they are hostile to it and use it as an argument against Islam..
@mariekitu Well I was trying to make sure you understood I meant no hostility, only debate. I do not criticize anyone for their choice of a veil, but I WILL criticize a government/religion that FORCES anyone to do something like don the veil. If a woman wants to wear a veil, go for it, I don't care. If a woman wants to cake her face in make-up or straighten her hair, who am I to object? A government's ban on the veil seems wrong to me, unless they really have a problem with people using them
@baughskeet That being said, fuck people who claim shocking other people should be a fundamental right.
It's like the plane is about to crash, and instead of trying to collectively give the yoke a good pull we're unwittingly making sure it dives more steeply.
It's like saying "I only raped people because they were unwilling"
@mariekitu ...using veils to conceal their identity during suspicious activities. I imagine that is not the case, though. I do NOT want to "ban the veil," and just as I don't want Muslim women to be forced to not wear the veil, I also do not want Muslim women to be forced to wear the veil.
@baughskeet There has been absolutely no occurence of such actions, ever. Even in Muslim countries where wearing a veil is common, I am sure.
No man would be retarded enough to do it, or could actually pass for a woman in it anyway.
But in my country recently, a woman who only had a headscarf around her head (face was still fully visible), was denied access to her bank for supposed "security" reasons.
Others get assaulted in the streets for following their cultures.
My hero mentions my team and refers to them as THE Arsenal. Oh Christopher, you are much missed, sir.

State propagandist. Fuck Christopher Hitchens and the lies he tells in his books/lectures/debates - he's an individual who sniffed out Power right quick. Hence why Wolfowitz is a friend of his.. and hence why he attacks Bush (What you're supposed to do, within the framework of their own Propaganda campaign) and NOT the Bush Administration..
I seriously wonder if all his ''work'' on Christianity has any worth at all to it, is it an act to legitmize his dishonest tangents against Islam?

Isn't it strange that he chose another member of the Neocon's ''Axis of evil'' to bring into his imaginatative story-telling? Anyways, if you want some more lies - hit me up.

Read deuteromy and leviticus before you judge other religions as being bad. Its followers are another story anyways - christians have been diluted into many different denominations and have come up with ideas about god and jesus that have no backing from the bible at all, like the whole "god of love" and "jesus meek and mild" themes.
Islam has not been diluted and is holding ground in some of the poorest countries on earth, so of course you are going to get more violence out of it.

@ac1th Christianity,like Islam,is based on the OT.That is why it has a history of religeous intolerence.They obeyed Gods command to the Jews at Exodus 34:12-16.The Divine root of religeous intolerence.Still practiced today by mad Islamists. All the 'faiths' that come from the God of Moses are inherently religeously intolerent. Islamists kill other Islamists who may be of a different denomination than they.Just as Christianity did thru history in its violent and bloody efforts to stay undiluted.

Most sane and rational people would probly agree that the atrocities of 9/11 and the other terrorist bombings in London and elsewere in the world are crimes against Humanity, commited in the name of the religeon of Islam.Any religeon that seemsto encourage its followers to strap bombs to themselves and commit suicide at the same time as commiting mass murder should be considered as Evil.Such behavior cannot be endorsed by a God of Love but can by a God of Hatred.How can such a God be worshipped?

@GARYWERSLEY "Any religeon that seemsto encourage its followers to strap bombs to themselves and commit suicide at the same time as commiting mass murder should be considered as Evil." Are you talking about American christian radicalism or muslim radicalism because both apply.

I'd take that bet. I'll accept cash or paypal, thanks. P.S. ethicist probably is the same as atheist, thanks for the compliment!

Islam is just another popular Delusion, just like Christianity and Judaism. Belief in the God of the ancient Isrealites has been a Curse upon mankind thru-out history and continues to be so even today in the form of Islamic Fundamentalism. All of these 'Faiths' are imposed, not freely accepted.There is a penalty for not believing.Non belief in these Delusions is considered evil in the eyes of the believer.There can never be peace on earth as long as some believe and some do not.

Wrong. Islam is as much religion as it is political and cultural. It encompasses everything in one's being. Not like Christianity and Judaism. We can only hope...pray perhaps?? that Islam is heading for it's own renascence.

@framus88 Islam worships the God of the ancient Isrealites, who is a Jealous God,who commands his followers to destroy all other religeons.Exodus 34:10-14.The Divine Root of religeous intolerence.As practiced today by Islamic fundamentalists.History repeats itself.We have seen it all before,in the shape of Christian Intolerence were they burned to death those who had different idea than they.Islamic rennaisance hoped forbut unlikely.Scriptualists rule Islam.We can xpect similar events as history

@Singebuggercat The real sickness in the world is religeous belief.It can be described as a psychic or spiritual disease that manifests itself in the form of the different faiths that we see in the world today and thru-out history.Religeous people have been at war with each other and with those of no faith since the time of Moses.Religeon is the problem, not the solution.The cure for this disease can only be rationalism,because we can see that 'faith' only causes more problems than it solves.

... with t.shirts reading "sexy bitch" or low-rise jeans, straightening their hair and caking their faces with make-up is "freedom" in the other. I love how forcefully colonizing countries was at best "civilizing the World", at worst a sad little blooper of the past, and how veiling the sensuous parts of your body is a provocative cultural threat to Western culture that needs to be banned, to guarantee women's right to dispose of their bodies..
A skeptical western woman.

@mariekitu I think the point of those of us who wish that all people be free from totalitarian and oppressive theocratic governements is NOT that the women (or whoever) dress a certain way. The point is that they can dress in whichever way they want to. I may not think the girl wearing "sexy bitch" and trampy jeans is attractive, but I will fight for her right to wear whatever the fuck she wants lol. Peace :)

@baughskeet Why the stupid "peace" comment at the end of your comment ? To make it look like you're having the last word ?
You are for no restrictions whatsoever ?
If so surely you must be thinking that forbidding should be forbidden ?
As far as the veil/miniskirt thing is concerned though, restrictions are only coming from western nations, some of whom would like to forbid, or ARE forbidding, veiling in many places. If they don't they are hostile to it and use it as an argument against Islam..
mariekitu 5 months ago
@mariekitu Well I was trying to make sure you understood I meant no hostility, only debate. I do not criticize anyone for their choice of a veil, but I WILL criticize a government/religion that FORCES anyone to do something like don the veil. If a woman wants to wear a veil, go for it, I don't care. If a woman wants to cake her face in make-up or straighten her hair, who am I to object? A government's ban on the veil seems wrong to me, unless they really have a problem with people using them

@baughskeet That being said, fuck people who claim shocking other people should be a fundamental right.
It's like the plane is about to crash, and instead of trying to collectively give the yoke a good pull we're unwittingly making sure it dives more steeply.
It's like saying "I only raped people because they were unwilling"

@mariekitu ...using veils to conceal their identity during suspicious activities. I imagine that is not the case, though. I do NOT want to "ban the veil," and just as I don't want Muslim women to be forced to not wear the veil, I also do not want Muslim women to be forced to wear the veil.
baughskeet 5 months ago
@baughskeet There has been absolutely no occurence of such actions, ever. Even in Muslim countries where wearing a veil is common, I am sure.
No man would be retarded enough to do it, or could actually pass for a woman in it anyway.
But in my country recently, a woman who only had a headscarf around her head (face was still fully visible), was denied access to her bank for supposed "security" reasons.
Others get assaulted in the streets for following their cultures.
In any case, people today...
