A couple of things worth reading in tandem. First, a short interview with Terry Eagleton in the New Statesman (http://www.newstatesman.com/books/2010/03/interview-hitchens-nostalgia) where he talks about Christopher Hitchens and his colleague at Manchester University, Martin Amis. Specifically, he mentions their shared 'Islamophobia' (though note also, Amis pops up in Hari's below article on the aged, for suggesting that euthanasia chambers be set up through out London so the pongy oldies can just drop in and drop out). Secondly, here's Hitchens in Vanity Fair, writing one of the finest articles I've read in a long time (http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2007/11/hitchens200711).
Hitch a lift, Martin. Fly away Eagleton. (Sorry).
