It's about three years old but still good entertainemt value: he just can't get it through his head that he answers her questions, not his own. He has been invited to her workplace: he is obligated to treat her like a fellow human being, not a farm donkey to be harangued.

Christopher is so missed. We still have Hawkins and a few others to defend the little sanity left in this world, but he truly was THE champion of the enlightened community...
We have our martyrs too. The late great Christopher Hitchens has been replaced by many other great minds such as Douglas Murray for one. Good will always rise against the psychopaths and those intent on taking us into hell. I really bow down these people. Such courage !
Douglas Murray is good. Certainly, he's a great writer, he's witty and he's clever. But despite all of that, he's still not in Hitchen's league. That tells you all you need to know about the brilliance of Christopher Hitchens.
The other guy: 'nobody is trying to censor free speech'. Literally the reason you are on the show is in defence of people who are trying to censor free speech.
@Lionel Santagostino from Regina Emilia Italy the powers in the west control what constitutes freedom of speech in the west. For instance, freedom of speech laws under the european union worm very differently to those in china for example. Your question basically sounds like you're asking 'how come western countries decide on their own laws' which is pretty self explanatory
@Lionel Santagostino from Regina Emilia Italy can you give me an example of how, let's say EU written law regarding freedom of speech 'targets' certain groups of people. Also your earlier comment implies you think that speech that incites violence - the only breach of EU speech laws as far as im aware - should be legal. In which case I think you need to brush up on your European history of the last century. And why dont you calm down a bit, your obvious anger and aggression dont do anything to help your argument and frankly just make you sound a bit nuts
@Lionel Santagostino from Regina Emilia Italy lol sorry, where exactly have i told you what you can and cannot say? I think you're mistaking someone disagreeing with you with your freedom of speech being violated. Which, again, sadly just makes you seem a bit naive about what all of this means
@Lionel Santagostino from Regina Emilia Italy sorry dude i think you should take a breather and come back to this later because it's obviously got you very agitated. I asked you to show me legislation in european law that applies freedom of speech laws to one group specifically. I take it by your diversion that you can't find any. In which case your argument just doesnt stand up

I left Islam when I read the Qur’an and the biography of Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam Now I live in Iraq and I can't talk about it even with my family I might be killed, and society will reject me, it's very difficult for me and many Arabs leave Islam every day, but they cannot announce that because they may be killed and of course society rejects them.

@Daniel Bonner No. We need a great communicator like Hitchens to hitch slap today's religious dudes. Not everyone can become a good orator or communicator however intelligent he might be. I mean, look at Grigori Perelman. The smartest dude who is anti social.
Indeed. Though in a debate it’s a risky thing to say since you are giving the opponent the ability to gain momentary credibility if they can in fact name one example. Generally, one example alone isn’t really enough to establish proof of evidence, but if the opponent does as demanded, it makes them appear more competent and, to the uninformed onlooker, more convincing than before they were asked to “name one.” Unless you’re confident your opponent can’t answer the demand, as a debate tactic it isn’t wise.
@ Heywood If Trump remained the same person, with the same intentions, world view and goals but with the knowledge of Hitchens, he would be worse and more dangerous than current Trump. Obviously. I would strongly advise to include Hitchens' moral compass in the package.

You see, the Inner Party *used the Virus to prevent an entire generation from ever participating in Large Family Gatherings* (...at Christmas-time.)

***** I disagree but we are talking about 2 legends regardless. Hitch entertained me more at his best, and there is just not the same amount of material from Douglas Murray. There is hour after hour of Hitch taking on the most radical targets, such as Sharpton, Galloway, Mother Theresa, Falwell, Kissinger. Hitch could be funny and cutting and devastating at the same time Big fan of both anyway.

So does Judaism. If you hate on whites, blacks, yellow, brown, purple, red, etc you're a racist. If you hate on religions it's religious hatred. If you hate on Jews it carries a heavier sentence and is antisemitist. The Jews are the self proclaimed chosen and better than the rest. All religions need to be stopped if the world is to develop.
@Jazzkeyboardist1 yes. Middle Eastern nations lead the way during the "dark ages" in which they were pioneers. In fact, they experienced the opposite while Europe had its dark ages. Look at all the mathematicians, astronomers, scientists etc from what would later be Islamic nations. After Islam there were literally zero involvement/contribution towards the developing world. Fact.

That's true. Hitchens was an amazing intellectual giant, and the world is far worse off without him. What's really interesting about him is how he rose to that level. Unlike most in his field, he didn't embark on it, he evolved and came into it via experience.
+Heywood Yabloome I don't know where you live, but in the US it's not illegal to insult Islam. The left just bullies people not to do it on social media and college campuses, but it is still legally allowed. Only in Europe have some countries started to outlaw it.
Heywood Yabloome Dude, you're wrong. It's not illegal. Yes they censor on college campuses, but you can't face legal consequences for insulting a religion. You can't go to jail for it, you can't get a fine for it, in fact you can't receive any type of criminal sentence whatsoever, and you can't be sued for it. From a legal perspective, you are allowed to say whatever you want, and you can certainly discuss the bad outcomes of evil beliefs. The State has no ability to prevent you from doing that, so it remains perfectly legal. College campuses can ban you because they don't represent the State so they aren't bound by the First Amendment, but the US government has not outlawed insulting Islam. That's just factually incorrect. Ask any lawyer, judge, or prosecutor you want (I am one).
Heywood Yabloome By the way, I'm on the left, yet I hate SJWs, and I love Ayaan Hirsi Ali as well as Sam Harris. So not everyone on the left is a pro-censorship buffoon.
Heywood Yabloome - Sure sounds like "we didn't learn shit" to me. What I want to know as how did it get to this, and how the hell can we extract ourselves?
As Stephen Fry said so eloquently, “It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what."
People can't handle Hitchens. He's too real. Respect. He doesn't whine, he doesn't cry, he doesn't complain, he keeps it real and leaves mouths gaping. I love it.
There is freedom of speech and there is hatespeech. the second one is not acceptable. You want peace then be peaceful you want respect then earn it. they are making fun and filling their pockets of other peoples dignity and hope. they are hurting those to whom this MAN is more dearer than their own lifes. Why cant you respect that? They were warned many many times before yet they kept selling and making money.

Racism and sexist speech is hate speech and some other forms of speech too. The fact that you don't see this is disturbing.

Saying it is invented to justify censorship and trample on freedom of speech is complete BS.
@@Martin-pb7ts I stand by my words. The nazis actually USED hate speech laws to further their cause. When we are faced with bigotry, the solution is not to forbid 'hate speech', but to use freedom of speech to counter bad ideas with better ideas.

It's a pity that so few of them understand what a strawman arguement is. have you seen the video of the muslim guy trying to engage in conversation with a female australian anchor? It's about three years old but still good entertainemt value: he just can't get it through his head that he answers her questions, not his own. He has been invited to her workplace: he is obligated to treat her like a fellow human being, not a farm donkey to be harangued. Not a lot gets me upset to the point of violence but if I was her i'd have slapped the smirk off his face with a camel's dick.
Here in India same type of violence occurs , radical muslims engage in violence , riots and arson but lately one chief minister has acted swiftly against these radical muslim , they are identified , they liable for property loss and their homes are razed over night
EXCELLENT
We have to give that Muslim guy some credit, he did spend time learning that script by heart that couldn't even stop for a sec..

Douglas Murray is good. Certainly, he's a great writer, he's witty and he's clever. But despite all of that, he's still not in Hitchen's league. That tells you all you need to know about the brilliance of Christopher Hitchens.
This was 14 years ago... and look where it got us....
The other guy: 'nobody is trying to censor free speech'. Literally the reason you are on the show is in defence of people who are trying to censor free speech.
Exactly. Hypocrite or just your average delusional, nominal follower?
@Lionel Santagostino from Regina Emilia Italy the powers in the west control what constitutes freedom of speech in the west. For instance, freedom of speech laws under the european union worm very differently to those in china for example. Your question basically sounds like you're asking 'how come western countries decide on their own laws' which is pretty self explanatory
@Lionel Santagostino from Regina Emilia Italy can you give me an example of how, let's say EU written law regarding freedom of speech 'targets' certain groups of people. Also your earlier comment implies you think that speech that incites violence - the only breach of EU speech laws as far as im aware - should be legal. In which case I think you need to brush up on your European history of the last century. And why dont you calm down a bit, your obvious anger and aggression dont do anything to help your argument and frankly just make you sound a bit nuts
@Lionel Santagostino from Regina Emilia Italy lol sorry, where exactly have i told you what you can and cannot say? I think you're mistaking someone disagreeing with you with your freedom of speech being violated. Which, again, sadly just makes you seem a bit naive about what all of this means
@Lionel Santagostino from Regina Emilia Italy sorry dude i think you should take a breather and come back to this later because it's obviously got you very agitated. I asked you to show me legislation in european law that applies freedom of speech laws to one group specifically. I take it by your diversion that you can't find any. In which case your argument just doesnt stand up
No one can replace the strength hitch exhibited against Muslims and their arrogance. He is just missed.
Douglas Murray is fighting the good fight.
Strength what strength has he exhibited against Muslims 😂😂. Barking like a mad do*g doesn't make you strong. He has never met or had any debate with any authentic Muslim scholars. He was in a race all alone and came first😂😂😂. Even i would have made him dance like a mad bitc*h.

I left Islam when I read the Qur’an and the biography of Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam
Now I live in Iraq and I can't talk about it even with my family I might be killed, and society will reject me, it's very difficult for me

Indeed. Though in a debate it’s a risky thing to say since you are giving the opponent the ability to gain momentary credibility if they can in fact name one example.
Generally, one example alone isn’t really enough to establish proof of evidence, but if the opponent does as demanded, it makes them appear more competent and, to the uninformed onlooker, more convincing than before they were asked to “name one.”
Unless you’re confident your opponent can’t answer the demand, as a debate tactic it isn’t wise.

Dude, you're wrong. It's not illegal. Yes they censor on college campuses, but you can't face legal consequences for insulting a religion. You can't go to jail for it, you can't get a fine for it, in fact you can't receive any type of criminal sentence whatsoever, and you can't be sued for it.
From a legal perspective, you are allowed to say whatever you want, and you can certainly discuss the bad outcomes of evil beliefs. The State has no ability to prevent you from doing that, so it remains perfectly legal.
College campuses can ban you because they don't represent the State so they aren't bound by the First Amendment, but the US government has not outlawed insulting Islam.
That's just factually incorrect. Ask any lawyer, judge, or prosecutor you want (I am one).

As Stephen Fry said so eloquently, “It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what."

There is freedom of speech and there is hatespeech. the second one is not acceptable.
