...watching him in an interview with Tony Jones who is pressing him about the fact that Christianity does good...for instance it inspired Martin Luther King in his civil rights struggle...after making several good points to the contrary Hitchens says that had there been no Sermon on the Mount or Beatitudes of Jesus, Black people in America would STILL have risen up in the 50s and 60s and demended an end to segregation and all its horrors... ...and of course, he's right. The existence or non-existence of Jesus made no difference to the determination of Black people that they had had enough...sure, they took Jesus with them to some degree, but he was hardly the REASON they decided to fight. Why oh why then can't he see that Muhammad is NOT the reason for resistance by Muslims, as Jesus wasn't the reason Blacks resisted and demanded equal civil rights ...that Iraqis and Arabs etc., would be just as pissed had they never heard of Muhammad....that they too, take him along, but he is not the REASON they resist...the reason is the crimes of Christianity against them...same reason that finally sparked the Civil Rights Movement: Afro-Americans were sick and tired of what White people were doing to them, often enough in the name of Jesus hisself. --------------------- |
