Christopher Hitchens debating Tarik Ramadan

[TheSeanSimpson]

If you listen carefully - Christopher Hitchens says nothing of relevent important as to the stated topic... He is babling sentences to win favour of the crowd..

[talirodolfe]

Tarik ramadan is the best

[leplsre]

Ramadan lost, in his very first sentence. Everyone (including him) seems to have missed the point that if Muslims are actually recognizing and following the existence and will of this being they call Allah, then Allah would be the authority. Is this not right? For a Muslim to say that there is a crisis of authority in Islam is to say that their god is either non-existant or irrelevant.

[BobsOldSocks]

No need for a debate, the answer is clearly "no".

[thesands49]

@AndyfromWrexham Organized religion in general is backwards and arrogant, not just Islam

[xomiakas]

Hitchens keeps bitchslaping everyone even with cancer. What a man.

[CnutRexAnglorum]

Why are we in Afghanistan? Because the Jew ordains it! This is a war fought by the innocent on behalf of the state of Israel. American and British servicemen sent to their graves by Jewish manipulation.

Moslems are sub human but so is the Jew! Christians and non-believers alike are now implicated because of the US and British ZOGs! Moslems are primitive animals, they are NOT our enemy! The dirty Jews have incited hatred by yielding responsibility for their oil crimes on to us! WAKE UP!

[sirpickles]

He is supposed to be hear debating Islam and he ends up bad mouthing Christianity - he is a cowrad, he knows that by bad mouthing Cristianity, he will not be killed. He is a coward.

[CommanderC4]

@sirpickles Or MAYBE its because he is an anti-theist who hates all religions equally. You know, like he explains, FREQUENTLY. Dumb ass.

[tylerdurden4495]

The question "Is Islam a religion of Peace" is a fallacy. A pathetic joke. It's become a question that no longer deserves an answer. One should instead look at the nature of Islam and it's followers and it's source code the quran. If we stop listening to their words, we can not be lied to. Look at what's being manifested by these barbarians on a daily basis. 1400 years of barbarism? Not in my country.

[moonshineinsummer1]

Get well Christopher!

[gavbag1234]

Hitch, it's a shame you're ill, you'll have to hope for the best on that. Old chap.

What I can offer you in the hopes of putting a good spin on things is that you're still a handsome devil when you're bald.

[Bonyloft]

Why this video is partially broadcasted?

Where can we find the full debate?

[scepticVseptic]

There's something shady going on here

[ChrisAndTaylorMusic]

Does anyone know where to watch the full debate? Thanks in advance! :)

[49fiori]

I have nothing against the religion.....

I have nothing against the people....

I have nothing against nobody....

But those who do bad things, knowingly or unknowingly, they are against themselves, their friends, their families....

We are not dumb, I believe there is a lot of people who are not dumb, therefore we all know what is good and what is bad... In the end, everything is in the people, and I do hope people will still be viewed and individuals, not as groups.

[AndyfromWrexham]

Islam is very backward and arrogant. 

[jtaoufiq]

@AndyfromWrexham: That's what the capitalists want us to believe so they can kill them to steal their oil...

[tylerdurden4495]

@jtaoufiq How long are you neanderthals going to blame the West and Israel for your abhorrent state of being? Look at yourselves. Are you even capable of reflection and taking responsibility for 1400 years of barbarianism? Take your despicable qurans, move to a desert cave and form your Islamic caliphate for all I care. But NOT in my country you delusional paranoid schizophrenic.

[PurPLehAZe878]

@tylerdurden4495 1400 years of barbarisms? have you ever read history? Do you not know that your ancestors were living in straw huts and praying to stone deities while the Muslim world had the best universities, the best medicine, the best astronomy, the best mathematics, etc, the world had seen at that time? Islamic world has fallen in tough times, not because of our religion, its because of the collective stifling of our economies by westerns countries and corporations.

[356pla]

@PurPLehAZe878 You keep telling yourself that it's someone elses fault. That's gonna help a lot.

[PurPLehAZe878]

@356pla I don't have to convince myself of anything to know the truth. I know of our history. Do you know yours? I can bet my life on the fact that I will do more for this world and its people then you or your whole family has done in its entirety (inshAllah). That's why I live in the West, because I have come to show you and your ignorant brethren what Islam allows it's believers to accomplish. Go one, I've laid the bait. Take it.

[356pla]

@PurPLehAZe878 That's right my friend. The failures of the states under sharia is the fault of my family. Actually I think more my mothers than my dads. Ask your God to reveal the truth so the rest of us can hear it from your blessed lips. Welcome to the madhouse fool.

[PurPLehAZe878]

@356pla LOL. You actually bit into it quite nicely. If you actually knew anything about modern global politics... ahh fuck it. This is like talking about Calculus with a 4 year old. Good night.

[356pla]

@PurPLehAZe878 That's fine. You go to bed. Sleep well.

[meshzzizk]

Word -- I'd love to see the whole thing. I'd even (*gasp!*) pay a download fee for this one.

[xamot27]

@meshzzizk  lol

[Lukeeeeo]

okay... but seriously it doesnt look like the full debate has been posted anywhere i can find

[AIDINSWE]

where can u see the hole debate

[mightyseagull]

@AIDINSWE There are 4000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire, you could try there,

[UtopiaMinor666]

@mightyseagull hahaha, good one

[brianmcleft]

@mightyseagull Sir/Madam, to mockingly dismiss such a slovenly-written post with such an obscure yet brilliant Beatles quote is quite ingenious. Bravo.

[kentamitchell]

Thank God for Christopher Hitchens! (irony)

[EliCross]

Unfortunately it's not looking good for Hitchens. His latest article in VF smacks of defeat and the outlook is said to be grim.

[ofcoursehesthefarmer]

@anashkhss _ You're a troll posing as a Mohammaden. You came onto this youtube page with the intention of having a good row didn't you? Pathetic. Allah Akbar to you sir.

[HumaninSeoul]

I really hope Hitchens gets past this cancer. We really need his voice heard in the coming years.

[B8DRU]

When did Yul Brynner body snatch Hitchens?

[rollsthepaul]

@B8DRU Hitchens has esophageal cancer and has been receiving chemotherapy. The survival rate is less than 2%, so he knows his time is short.

[B8DRU]

@rollsthepaul I see we are not aware of sarcasm, so i will shut the register at this point.

[B8DRU]

@rollsthepaul hey, man, I have seen ur videos. I agree with a lot of what u say. I like to use sarcasm and irreverence.
