Today would've been Christopher Hitchens' 77th birthday. This clip from 2009, in which he warns about blasphemy laws and the rise of Islam, is a must-see.

Hitchens was spot on and spoke with brutal clarity about the dangers of Islam. He warned it is not a religion of peace but a supremacist ideology that demands total submission — treating women as second-class, executing apostates, hating Jews and gays, and justifying violence through jihad and sharia. And every time you point this out, they scream “Islamophobia” to shut you down. They’ve been using that cowardly deflection for decades while our towns get colonised. Hitchens saw it coming. Native Britons are living it. Britain for the British.

He was prophetic and is SORELY missed.

Indeed. I wonder what Christopher Hitchens would make of this shitstorm. The sectarian “independent” candidates openly running on Islamic identity, turning British elections into tribal bloc votes while Native Britons are sidelined in our own towns. He’d call it exactly what it is: the slow conquest he warned about — supremacist ideology meeting demographic replacement. Hitchens saw through the “phobia” deflection decades ago. We’re living the nightmare he predicted.

That was after a great debate with John Lennox.

RIP Christopher Hitchens you are sorely missed

He was correct.

We need to spread this much more.

Why did he die so young when he is most needed now? Where is is successor? Certainly not in the current Oxbridge crop.

What would have prevented the outcome he warned against? The racism he protested against. Funny how things work out...

16 years ago, scary prophetic.

Rest in dark oblivion, atheist!

Wow

Never met him, but I miss him terribly. Taken far too young, but he would be so angry at how it's all going today.

The man, the legend.
