reddit.com did a pretty interesting online interview with him a few days ago in case anyone hasn't gotten their Hitch-fix yet
Now I'm off to read this interview.
5 | Mad Al-Jaffee Thu, Jan 7, 2010 12:06:30pm |
About 4 years ago me and my brother went to a pro-Denmark rally at the Danish embassy. Hitchens was there, and he was standing a few feet from me when he addressed the crowd. I didn't know who he was then.

Thanks for making this a topic thread, Charles.
7 | darthstar Thu, Jan 7, 2010 12:09:39pm |
Just finished reading the interview. Hitchens went in and out of favor with me over the last eight years, but he's back on the favorable side...I only wish we could get that kind of honest opinionating from American pundits and elected officials.
Americans would be far better off if they weren't treated like idiots who can't understand that not everything is black and white, and that there are gray areas...not all Muslims are bad, not all Christians are good. But that logic would also have to be applied to political parties (not all Republicans/Democrats are good/bad)...and heaven forbid if people started thinking like that! The Tea Party and Green Party both would be at a loss. (former Green here, btw)

Of consequence is the fact that Ireland did indeed have a blasphemy law on the books against Christianity. It was written into the 1937 Constitution. That ban was butressed by a defamation law passed in 1961. In the process of joining the EU, these laws were rendered unenforcable.
The new law is different because it bans blasphemy against any and all systems of beleif (so don't blaspheme Gaia or Siths or Jedis).
The new law was also conceived and advocated by The Greens in an effort to accomodate Islamist demands for such laws to exist in the west.

The same absurdity is present in both cases. These two religions make very large claims for themselves, that "without us you cannot get to heaven, and without us you will go to hell." They claim the right to high, middle, and low justice over everything from public affairs to private morals. They make these immense claims for themselves and further say they should be immune from criticism. It's not enough to be an absolutist party, but you're not allowed to disagree. This is totalitarianism.
Fantastic. Utterly fantastic.

When the attack on the cartoonist story first came out, there were some posters on DU (yeah, I'm gonna mention those assholes, go ahead and downding if you want, I don't care) said that it probably wasn't a Muslim. It was someone pretending to be Muslim to make Muslims look bad. That way we could continue the "war on terror" and have scapegoats and boogeymen.

Well they will probably get the opportunity. As Hitchens said, many plan to violate the law. Someone will get the stick and then file a human rights claim with the EU.
I don't like to be so cynical, but I really am concerned that the law will be viewed as balancing rights between the offensive and the offended and will be upheld.
If it is upheld I'd expect adoption throughout Europe.
When freedom of speech becomes subject to the potentially offended it is no longer a freedom - it becomes a privilege extended by the potentially offended and is extended under shifting and whimsical standards.
Sad episode for Ireland and Europe.

She was more concerned with saving souls than easing physical suffering. There's no doubt of that.

I think people have spoken much rubbish about that event [9/11]. The poor revenging themselves on the rich! It's nothing but an aspect of religious hatred. And that is so hard to deal with, or even contemplate. You can deal with the poor striking out, but you can't deal with the threat of a universal religious war.
