These are Christopher Hitchens' words in Slate but also my sentiment. I am glad that Christopher
admits there is a hell, and if there is one he should admit that it is probably
part of God's design.
But my point is not theological. It is about history and moral
philosophy, about national culture and the legal equality of human beings in
democratic societies. Rowan Williams is so alert to official Muslim
sensibility that he is willing to submit individual Muslims, hitherto protected
in Great Britain
against it, to its various caprices and habitual cruelties.
