    It's not just how much ability Hitch possessed, it's how completely he possessed it. Invincible.

    This truth would now be deemed “Islamophobia”. My my how backwards we are accelerating.

    To be noted that Galloway stayed silent as a higher intellect was speaking. Words spoken, handing Galloway his arse on a plate before his lips had even moved.

    I don’t always agree with Christopher Hitchens, but I always respect his opinion

    "It was founded on the laws of the prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise."

    Why no transcript of this? I'm arguing with an AI that says that this incident never ever happens ever. The sadly misinformed AI is trying to always say that orthodoxy is always right when this, unfortunately, is mistaken.
