Rencently, I was spurred into watching a "debate" between Christopher Hitchens and Chris Hedges, as posted within this entry. I am familiar with the participants and have gleaned useful information from each of their works on occasion. The editing is rather choppy and it is evident any rebuttal has been deleted so I am not in a position to defend Mr. Hedges, however, Mr. Hitchens' understanding of Islam and what it represents reduces him to the level of an ignoramus, insofar as his knowledge of Shari’ah and jihad are concerned...
