Very interesting listening.

One might believe that they are all very reasonable men, until you get to
the very end of the video where they listen to Hitch argue that the end of
world civilization is imminent unless the Islamic world is reformed of its
unacceptable beliefs, a reformation which he sees as only being effectively
pursued by American military force.  His colleagues are either struck
speechless or they are in agreement.

The truly unacceptable belief of Islam, as far as I can tell, is Jihad, the
doctrine that beliefs which endanger the faithful may need to be answered
with force.
