Hitch at FFRF

I linked to Pharyngula's report on Hitch's alleged support for killing lots of Muslims. Others strongly disagree. Check out countering views here and here. A newspaper report here quotes him as follows:

Responding to a question from an audience member on what he said was the futility of killing Muslims in Iraq to end extremism, Hitchens parodied:

"'How does killing them lessen their numbers?' You must have meant something more intelligent... We worry too much in America about our 'right' to be in Iraq... Make them worry. Make them run scared... I'm going to fight these people and every other theocrat all the way. All the way. You should be ashamed sneering at the people guarding you as you sleep."

Some video is available here.
