Christopher Hitchens vs Mos Def

OK, So having Mos Def on the same panel with Christopher Hitchens and Salman Rushdie is like sending a one legged man to an ass kicking contest. Borat has made more sense.

I love the part where he say he doesn’t know what Bin Laden says in his videos because he doesn’t speak Arabic. OK, not like there is no shortage people who can translate it for you. And the part where he makes a big point of saying he doesn’t mind holding the unpopular idea, DUH MOS! You are sitting next to Salman Rushdie and two unabashed atheist. From what I can see Mos doesn’t mind holding a stupid idea.

And what is it with rappers and these days? Snoop Dogg joins the Nation of Islam Could this be what too many drugs do for you?

And just when you thought the middle ages were gone.

Human Rights Watch has appealed to Saudi Arabia to halt the execution of a woman convicted of witchcraft.

So this illiterate woman was arested by the so called “religious police” and forced to confirm a confession that she could not read. Among her accusers was a man who alleged she made him impotent, I guess she is not much of a “Looker”.

Saudi executions are beheadings so she won’t be buned at the stake. My thinking is a hot steak is better than a cold chop anyday……. Sorry! could not help it.

Her appeals to the court are exhausted and only King Abdullah can stop this miscarriage of justice.
