Hitchens rules. Nobody can speak like hitchens.
hindus rise up and wipe out the pig fucking muslims
I remember the media coverage of the Rushdie fatwa quite vividly. I was eleven at the time and of course didn’t fully grasp what was going on, but the clear impression conveyed in the mainstream media was that Rushdie was a somehow sinister figure, if to a lesser degree than Khomeini.
At eleven, I sure as hell didn’t get that impression out of thin air.
@awesomewelles90 god wills 3 year olds getting raped. god = paedo
If someone equates a cartoon of Muhammad to a sexual assult on their mother, then they are stupid. End of story. What Tharoor’s argument really boils down to is this: If there are enough of you, and if you promise to behave like lunatics, you can stop anyone from saying anything, and we should respect that.
@CHF2 tharoor is just any congress prick that will support muslims. when speaks for muslims one hand stuffs his asshole the other reaching out to muslims.
bastard.
Sought to inflame?! So what? That’s not a point.
This Tharoor guy is full of shit. I’m am absolutely pissed off to my core that these fundamentalists treat women like second hand. Who say that everyone but themselves are not worthy of life. I could give a shit about their feelings. Fuck the religious if they can’t take it. Fine let’s fight then. I would definately stand up and fight against these weirdos whose only love of life is after death.
Please? join the face book group( “We want Shashi Tharoor Back “) to support Mr.? Tharoor
Tharoor is a typical Indian Hindu “secularist” = an appeaser and chicken of the highest order.
although it is bizarrely gratifying to see that once Imperialists (the British) who lectured Indians on secularism now having suffered from the Islamic cancer are crying foul…welcome to the club my friends!!
If you find a cure for Islam do share with us. We will pay back with a special 90% discount on outsourcing for Britain forever. Don’t worry we will still make margins
The muslims reaction to the caricatures of muhammads reminds me a bit of the Republicans reaction to the passing of health care in congress. The same kind of anger, rage and death threats. Just shows how crazy conservatives have become.
i cannot believe people like this guy are blaming the newspaper and not the muslims. it blows my mind. after this happened i felt like we had taken a giant step backwards towards the dark ages. jews are one of the most mocked minorites in the world in western countries, but they have a great sense of humour. how many jews attack people when a picture of a big nose is drawn? these muslims make me sick . fuck mohammed and they should rot in the empoverished shitholes they have made for themselves
v89c, you don’t understand. Listen to it again.
What happened to Htich’s point he was making at the end of part 2? Does anyone know what he said? It got cut off here.
So why didn’t the Muslim masses turn against the imams who made the most offensive cartoons?
Wow, this Tharoor character is suggesting that people who perpetrate violence shouldn’t be held accountable because they’ve been offended?
Freedom of speech exists precisely to protect speech that some might find offensive — poplular speech requires no protection. Anyone who is offended has the right to respond with speech of their own, not with violence.
It’s about time theistic literalists get laughed at for their ridiculous beliefs. We’ve seen the effects of coddling them.
Fuck me this idiot is actually saying people should give in to murderous temper tantrums?
The point that Hitchens makes is the reaction of Muslims/Islam. The perpetrator of the offense isn’t important.
All other religions are mocked daily both by aetheists and/or believers of other religions and yet its very rare that violence and death follow.
Islam is just one amongst many why should it be treated any differently?
I, like most reasonable people, acknowledge a persons right to believe whatever they want but NOT to kill others just because they mock or critize your beliefs.
Hitchens is talking bullshit. Even if they hire imams to show caricatures it still inflames the people. i don’t know why he’s acting ignorant.
Although Hitchens is Pissed I have to agree with him! He is absolutely right. Muslims go into victim mode and resort to violence of the worst kind! our societies have allowed them to use violence, to threaten, to beat their women in Europe US, to justify honour killing. Freedom of speech is becoming a used to have thanks to them!
Mr. Tharoor – its called the internet..it’s one world now. So the point of a government being a valve – to protect people from the mob – The job of the government is to control the mob…end of story…not to control the press to control the mob.
Don’t you people see what muslims are really doing? They’re playing the “good cop bad cop” scenario on society. When someone says something, or produces something offensive against Islam, muslims burn down buildings and try to kill people. Then “suffisocated muslims come and say these aren’t all muslims, just muslim extremists. (bad cop) Now we’re the good muslims, so why don’t u stop saying that stuff about Islam, and it won’t happen again? good cop. In reality, they’re both conning u. true
No. I am referring to you not being able to provide any evidence that God causes the death of anyone, that there is punishment in the afterlife, or that there is any afterlife at all.
You have failed to provide evidence for any of those three claims you made and thus, your argument that rapists are accountable to God is null and void.
William Lane Craig is perpetually smirking, brainless windbag who’s arguments have about the depth of a toddler’s scribblings in a crayon book.
You are referring to the “problem” of evil. William Lane Craig gives an adequate account of why this is not a “problem” for modern theists.
By the way, simply asserting that God wills everyone to live or die does not cut it – where is your evidence that this is so? Can you provide one piece of evidence that demonstrates that God has ever killed or ended the life of any person anywhere in the world?
