Hitchens Rips The Befuddled Left A New One

Topics: Understanding Islam

One of many pointed quotes from Hitchens in his exchange in recent debate with the leftwing jihad apologist and author of American Fascists, Chris Hedges:

"Every member of the 82nd Airborne Division could be a snake-handling congregationalist, for all I know, but these men and women, though you sneer and jeer at them, and snigger when you hear applause and excuses for suicide bombers - and you have to live with the shame of having done that - these people are guarding you while you sleep, whether you know it or not. And they're also creating space for secularism to emerge, and you better hope that they are successful."
