Will Hitchens Support the Culling of Camels?
Before returning to his usual mantras favoring the war on Terror/Islam, Hitchens condemned the Egyptian cull of its domestic pig population and lamented that pigs are noble creatures (his effort to pit Western civilization against Islamic civilization, I suppose). http://www.slate.com/id/2229830/ But now Alice Springs in the Northern ...

Majr Hasan, the Man, Cause the Ft Hood Shootings
Maj Hasan, the 39 year old doctor with no social life, no wife, few friends, removed from his hometown against his will, chose by his freewill to engage in mass murder and apparently found some person on earth to justify his inclination (except the Washington Post has not produced the emails demostrating al Awlaki's complicity, even FBI and DOD ...

Hitch vs. Polanski vs. the Jihadis
Slandering roman polanski angers the Hollywood old guard. Ooh. Anne Applebaum is never going to invite you over to her house for another tea-party. You may not make Whoopie Goldberg's Christmas card list. Slandering Mohammed as a child rapist and pedophile angers 1 billion Muslims. If your accounts are true about the Prophet's favorite wife ...

Hitchens is confused
HItchens and his throngs of blind supporters always seem confused about the concept of freedom of speech. Freedom of speech necessitates tolerance of the expression of the most obscene and offensive views. TOLERANCE DOES NOT NECESSITATE ACCEPTANCE as Hitchens and co seem to believe. We tolerate Nazi hate speech just like we tolerate ...

Conqueror Hitchens Ignores Reality of the Past and Future
Hitchens' perverted arrogance ignores the fact that America occupies at least 2 nations with its military forces that are Muslim majority. And there are perhaps 100s of American military installations in Muslim nations around the world that the US gov has manipulated to justify their presence in foreign lands. So there are serious ...

The best way to beat extremism...
One of the problems I have with tackling Islamic extremism is that most of it is rooted in other countries whereas there is a much more insidious dangerous cult on our own doorsteps that we should sort out first before we start lecturing the Muslim world about how they should be living. Whilst I agree with Hitchens on most of his points I do wish ...

Hitchens' Imperious Drunken Rants: Iran and Islam
Reading a communist thug become an imperious Neo Con is like watching a turd dry out in the Florida sun during rainy season. Every afternoon, any drying that's happened during the humid morning is reversed again by afternoon showers. So dry, wet, dry wet, leaves layers and patches of dryness and wetness. Hitchens' main rhetorical attack- void ...

Hitchens' Jaundiced, Drunken Journalism- There You Go Again!
Hitchens, perhaps lamenting the death of Communist imperiousness, ignores the reality of the plots and plans against the Ottoman state. ''April is the month in which the Armenian diaspora commemorates the bloody initiation, in 1915, of the Ottoman Empire's campaign to erase its Armenian population.'' How quaint to ignore any political context ...

Islam's List of Human Rights: Number 1
The first I wanted to mention, among basic rights, is the right to be protected against: 1)Usury also called interest. That's right, read what the God says in the Quran and the Prophet Muhammad said about usury/interest- called riba` in arabic. God says he wages war on it. That means God hates usury/interest and commands that all peoples ...

Does Iran Counter-balancing Israel bring Stability?
I suppose being an Israeli nowadays is quite bleak. Warmongers dominate all politics in Israel, apparently, and normal relations with allies who are distant neighbors can be destructive for them - Georgia being such an example. I suppose it seems like increasing Israeli military actions throughout the region is the only solution to protecting ...
