Hitchens on How to Deal With Angry Muslims

Angry Muslims are starting to grow passe on me already. Worldwide interest in them has peaked, and I'll grant them some credit for lasting longer than Lindsay Lohan in the world's eye.

Hitchens has listed all the offenses over and over: Rushdie's book, Danish cartoons, a rumor out of Guantanamo, the pope's comment, Rushie's knighthood...all of these minor insensitivities (and that's being generous) somehow get young Muslim men from all around the world up in arm, burning flags, calling for death...meanwhile Al Queda bombs a mosque in Iraq TWICE trying to kill as many innocent Shiite civilians as possible and what is the reaction from the angry Muslim? Blame the Jews or the Americans, of course.

Give us a break, these guy's don't deserve being treated with any respect or interest whatsoever. The appropriate response, if we were watching them from above, burning flags and going crazy over some bullshit offense in the streets of Karachi would be to whip it out and piss on their heads.
