  • The gentleman who said the Prophet Mohammad was peaceful just made me laugh so hard!

  • fantastic discussion.

    tharoor is a very humble man, willing to concede a point when feels feels necessary. and he made some very sensible points.

    hitchens was on sure ground here, though. and there were some classic hitchens moments along the way.

  • Muhammad demonstrated with his Sunnah the peaceful ways of dealing with his critics - he had them butchered. And we're not talking about powerful leaders of state, but poets, singers and other commoners.

    We seem to quote these peaceful verses from Muhammad as though they were an antidote to the violence and rape he approved and partook in; THEY ARE NOT!

    It's about time we consigned Muhammad to the list of other scum, such as Hitler, Stalin, Genghis Kahn, and it's about time the public knew it.

  • Superb debate!

  • Tharoor got OWNED by Hitchens. Hitchens was awesome.

  • @panniize

    Faith, obedience to orders or ways of life without evidence, is not a virtue of intelligence. Nice try though; made me laugh ^_^

  • Definitely not intellectual equals. One is a man of faith and one employs reason.

  • Two intellectual equals discussing eloquently = win.

  • @zencat999 Yeah, I think that's a appropriate description of what the chains represent.

  • @alabamamanable mind forges manacles of oppression? as hitchens would say.
