   If there is a god, it proves how cruel he when people like Henry Kissinger are still alive and Christopher Hitchens is dead.

   What are people like resistor and his fellow carrion-eaters at Hitchens-Watch going to do with themselves now?

   It’s sad that resistor, or anyone, would celebrate someone’s death. It’s sadder that he would celebrate someone who spent his life advocating for human rights and free speech. It’s ironic that the same socio-cultural environment that gives Resistor his right to speak was the one championed by someone he apparently despises.

   I live in the free world and he was not my friend. I detested his pride and arrogance; and in all his “brilliance” he could not see he was killing himself.

   Turns out Christopher Hitchens had fans and admirers from all walks of life. Found this post commemorating Hitchens by a rather unlikely blogger. Funny and poignant. He will be missed. Click here to read it for yourself http://bit.ly/w40uFn

    I have never agreed with Daniel Pipes….

    But I agree with his stance on Hitchens. His stance on Mother Teressa was disgusting. Inaccurate and cruel.

    Galloway said it best… something like “Let’s just hope God is merciful”

    Hitchens… A man who was always in search for something. He had justify his faith by condemning others. Such a religious sentiment!

    The way he U-turned on so many issues… leaves a lot to make judgements over him.

    Sorry Amin,

    how was Hitch’s work on Mother Teresa ‘inaccurate’? And what positions, exactly, did he ‘U-turn’ on?

    I’m not being sarcastic, or rhetorical. I’d really like to know.

    Again, Amin can say nothing meaningful: just makes things up. Uses slander, ad hominems, lies and distortions to make his ‘point’.

    Pathetic.

    Pathetic.

    Care to give a single example of “slander, ad hominems, lies and distortions”. I have asked you this before… so far you have failed.

    As far as attacking someone personally – above is an example … and you have done it before. A bit silly that…really.

    It is easy to make accusations – far more harder to prove them.
