[lbo-talk] Review of Hitchens and Ali

[andie nachgeborenen]

This list making strikes we as dull. I do think Ali's
Fundamentalisms book is superficial, though to be
honest I learned useful things about the history of
Islam that, as a virtually total ignoramus about the
subject, are good to know if accurate. I think there
is no harm is the ruthless criticism of all that
exists, including our own. Hitchens is no longer one
of our own. jks
