..and instead seek to prove that Islam was always out to get us by citing those Algerian pirates as an example of Islam's implacable hatred for "our way of life"...meaning there is no reason for Muslim aggression except Muhammad and Islam....pirates, it seems, are "just like that".

What makes Hitchens explanation and claim of Muslims hostility "from the beginning" is that he completely neglects to mention that those American and before them Euro ships the Algerians resented so much had been sailing to Africa for centuries to steal SLAVES.

Enslaving American sailors in return seems only poetic justice......
