Islam says Kill Christians and go to heaven....

It does? Where and when have Muslims done this? Never mind wars of conquest...everybody was out stealing land back then...the Old Testicles tells the Jews to kill every living creature wherever they want because it is THEIR land. So cut Islam a break.. We're talking about actual wars waged with the sole purpose of either killing Christians or forcibly converting them....when? Even that infamous pirate who angered Jefferson and Hitchens so much was hunting for slaves, it was pure commerce. He wanted slaves...he didn't want to convert them or kill them, nothing personal, it was business. At the same time Jefferson was so irate he and the rest of the Founding Fathers as well as half the Christian country owned slaves, did Africans volunteer to be slaves or were they stolen, by Christian pirates?...and the conditions for Blacks slaves in America were far worse than for any other kind of slave anywhere else.

Didn't Christians find justification in their Bible for slavery? So, the pirate found justification in his Quran...so? Are we again only to blame the Muslim but let the Christian go free?

When, before the time when the West began meddling in the MidEast in the modern era...say, starting 200 years ago, have Muslims ever gone seeking to murder Christians just to get into heaven? When have they sought to forcibly convert Christians? Well....damn it, when?

I'm afraid that Hitchens' lasting legacy will not be his brilliant expose of religion...his fearless atheism, but instead his rabid support for the Iraq war and George Bush and, I assume, the rest of those war criminals. This is really a shame. They say converts become fanatical...I don't know what prompted Hitchens to become an American citizen but in his joy and gratitude he seeme to believe that he must show fanatical support, especially where it is most needed, because misplaced. Hitchens seems to want Bush to know he is VERY American, so much so that he looked around and saw where America had gone most wrong and decided that's where he'd lend a hand.

While I appreciate any and all attacks on organized religion, I cringe to hear attacks against Islam...it would be like ridiculing Judaism while hauling Jewish children to death camps. Isn't it bad enough that Christians are killing innocent children, do they really have to pick THAT time to ridicule their faith...is it really necessary? Must you make fun of their teeth too...their freckles...their kinky hair, dark skin, music etc? Aren't you satisfied enough to be murdering them, do you take some more pleasure in torturing them while the trains deliver them to the camps? Aren't you doing enough harm to them, do you really have to grind every last vestige of their humanity under your heel?

Same with Hitchens, Dawkins, Harris and all those who believe right now is the time to attack all religions. These people come from the very countries who have most violated the rights and dignity of the people of the MidEast, Muslims especially. Isn't it enough that these Christian countries managed to wage an illegal war against completely innocent Muslims, starving to death hundreds of thousands of their children...is this really the time to attack their religion too...why not tear up the dolls and rip apart the bicycles of Muslim children too....why stop at tearing down their religion, blasting their homes, poisoning their playgrounds and their milk and food and air for decades...why not make fun of their faith and culture too?

It is all part and parcel of the same bullying tactics being used elsewhere...that's what rings hollow in the timing of these exposes of religion...the people doing it believe in none of them, so it's no skin off their noses...and if they hurt the feelings of Christians and Jews, well that's about all that's going to be hurt, their lives and children are safe....but Muslims are being killed, their countries bombed, their children starved to death....aren't Christians causing enough damage to Muslims...do these otherwise scientific and humane men and women really have to pile on...right now?

It strikes me as shameful...maybe when you're done being a Christian, formally, there's still some residue of cruelty and a desire to inlfict pain...maybe that never goes away.

A British accent isn't always enough.
