4 Christopher Hitchens Quotes on Terrorism

Christopher Hitchens quotes on terrorism

6. Terrorism is the tactic of demanding the impossible, and demanding it at gunpoint.

58. Will an Iraq war make our Al Qaeda problem worse? Not likely.

61. The death toll is not nearly high enough... too many [jihadists] have escaped.

68. Interviewer: It seems to be acknowledged that there're more people out there supporting the aims of Al-Qaeda and groups like them, and are willing to die, as a result of this war, than perhaps there were previously? Hitchens: Well, you could as easily say that the number of people who used to be based in Afghanistan, have, as a result of the intervention there, relocated themselves and spread the virus in that way. Both of these arguments lead to only one terminus, which is: we should surrender to jihadism, and not try to oppose it, in case we make them upset.
