Indeed, he lambasts Islam as "not much more than a rather obvious and ill-arranged set of plagiarisms" from Judaism and Christianity. But Hitchens is an equal opportunity atheist. His reviles all religions and scorns anyone foolish enough to accept any idea on faith. A spate of atheist screeds has...
