Hitchens and Rage Boy

I just read an item by Christopher Hitchens at Slate, and I hope everybody reads/passes on his article – so as many people as possible actually read it. The article has a compelling start:

If you follow the link, you will be treated to some scenes from the strenuous life of a professional Muslim protester in the Kashmiri city of Srinagar. Over the last few years, there have been innumerable opportunities for him to demonstrate his piety and his pissed-offness. And the cameras have been there for him every time. Is it a fatwah? Is it a copy of the Quran allegedly down the gurgler at Guantanamo? Is it some cartoon in Denmark? Time for Rage Boy to step in and for his visage to impress the rest of the world with the depth and strength of Islamist emotion.

Ridiculously short post here, but the other man at Slate has the goods… please take a look!
