Wiping The Floor With Tariq Ramadan
Finally, here's the audio of Hitchens crashing Tariq Ramadan's session at Festivaletteratura in Mantua (after Ramadan wriggled out of debating Hitchens, probably knowing Hitchens would make quick work of his po-mo bullshit claims about the kumbaya-ness of Islam). Sadly, we left Mantua on Sunday, so we missed the live-action floor-wiping. More about this from Hitchens' Slate piece on their exchange, linked in my blog item here.

Sorry, Tauseef. I know you'd like to believe that. And you can't hear the complete debate because the slimey Tariq refused to debate Hitchens. Islam is not exactly known for supporting freedom of speech and modern free, democratic values, you know.
