Christopher Hitchens: "Why Are We So Scared of Offending Muslims?"

Christopher Hitchens has addressed the outrageous actions of Pace University, who pressed felony complaints against a student who threw a Koran into a toilet.

Hitchen's comments should be engraved on a plaque and a copy nailed over the entrance to every college and university in the West. He writes:

The enemies of intolerance cannot be tolerant, or neutral, without inviting their own suicide. And the advocates and apologists of bigotry and censorship and suicide-assassination cannot be permitted to take shelter any longer under the umbrella of a pluralism that they openly seek to destroy.

This is what I have been saying for some time, in my crude, cigar-chomping way.
