Oooh is that an elephant in the middle of the room? It's not terrorism out of the 1970s, it's not even that 'political' it's fanatical, deluded (and this case failed) religious martyrdom> All religons are medieval claptrap, and followers of the one that no-one dares speak of, just this week have blown up scores of fellow countryman in Baghdad as part of some 8th Century schism, hung a handful of 'bandits' and left them there to rot in a public square as a warning to others in their Kalamite, and spurred some deluded idiots in Woolwich to run over and decapitate a young dad. But, we can crow about Catholic priests as taht doesn't cross the code of the Guardian. I raise a glass to Hitchens, be he in heaven, or hell or just resting from such absurdity in blissfull nothingness
