I can't stomach that man... but the debate between he and George Galloway was rather entertaining.

As salamu `alaykum,

You can probably find it on Google, but I heard it on Democracy Now!.

Wa salaam,

Saw the first half, and Galloway just destroyed him. It was comical.

I think Democracy Now has the whole debate, at least an hour of it. I was going to post it with my previous reply, but the computer I am at was running slow.

The Grapple in the Big Apple: British MP George Galloway v. Christopher Hitchens (http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=05/10/18/1356227&mode=thread&tid=25)

Christopher Hitchens is one of those few people who are able to raise my blood pressure just by speaking. It is comical, but it is also sad and a good reminder of what the adab of ikhtilaf were given to keep peoples' nufus in check when they disagree.

I think Hitchens' appearances on Real Time were much worse than this. Bill Maher and he on the same stage is worse than Rush and Savage. The former two come across as having an air of intellectual superiority, Hitchens with his crusade against anything Islam and Maher's fundamentalists irreligiousness...
