Christopher Hitchens- On the charge of this isnt really Muslims, its the fundamentalists and extremists The word fundamentalist or extreme has the following difficulty for me, either there is a word of God or there is not? In my opinion there is not. If someone says to me you know what I think God did speak at Sinai, or did speak at the baptism over Jordan, or did intervene to dictate the texts to the prophet Mohammed, why does that make you a fundamentalist? I think its an extraordinary thing to believe. If you say no I dont really believe that, what you are is not, not a fundamentalists, you are not religious. Fundamentalism says there is Gods word, there is revelation, there has been revelation. Atheism says there hasnt. Belief is what? To split that difference? It cant be split. #ChristopherHitchens #Religion
