Hitchens vs Blair
#9
RE: Hitchens vs Blair
I find the second graphic to be the most telling... Saudi Arabia, which definitely can be described as a Muslim nation, overwhelmingly believes that religious belief is a positive force. This is the same country that supports and exports religious extremism more than any other Islamic nation. Indonesia has been torn with religion-based strife for decades and like India, third on the list, is heavily populated by the poor and uneducated, who are largely kept in squalor by their Brahmin "betters" who still view themselves as religiously superior and more deserving.

What was that again about religion being the opiate of the masses?
