Hitchens on why we shouldn't be scared of offending muslims...

A University student in New York has been arrested for a hate crime because he dumped a Koran...
It is often said that resistance to jihadism only increases the recruitment to it. For all I know, this commonplace observation could be true. But, if so, it must cut both ways. How about reminding the Islamists that, by their mad policy in Kashmir and elsewhere, they have made deadly enemies of a billion Indian Hindus? Is there no danger that the massacre of Iraqi and Lebanese Christians, or the threatened murder of all Jews, will cause an equal and opposite response? Most important of all, what will be said and done by those of us who take no side in filthy religious wars? The enemies of intolerance cannot be tolerant, or neutral, without inviting their own suicide. And the advocates and apologists of bigotry and censorship and suicide-assassination cannot be permitted to take shelter any longer under the umbrella of a pluralism that they openly seek to destroy.

I say that pushing them over the edge is exactly the thing to do!
Most of the adherents to this barbaric cult can be prodded into making public displays of their ingrained viciousness. At least making an example of the total disrespect and hatred of free speech is beginning to occur more often!

Especially targeted should be CAIR in North America....
Hot Air talks about legal threats being made to preempt public discussions about the infamy of Islamists!
As for the so called moderates... I'll believe in them when they themselves start to make complaints about the rabid Imams preaching sedition and encouraging the Jihadi mentality!
