Interesting analysis by renowned atheist, Christopher Hitchens, about the Koran, it's beginnings, it's repetition and borrowing from ealier texts, as well as it's interpretation, and some of the outcomes of it all.
I found it a very interesting watch.

It is about 30 mins worth all up, and Hitchens does not do a massive amount of religious put down for Islam, of course one could not honestly look at the Koran with out pointing to it's flaws, but it is a subdued, matter of fact style, not a raving character assassination of Mohammed and all things Islamic, you would need to find someone who is hypocritical enough to not also disbelieve the bible, to do that.

The most interesting point for me was when he discussed Islam's lack of having had any reformation, of the kind that Christians witnessed, and suggesting that Islam would be so much the better if it could do so, but when something is by definition, divine, unalterable(even though alterations have been claimed from ealy times), and final, it will take some convincing for them to even address probable mistranslation of original ideas, with the "virgins", or "white raisins" as what is waiting for martyrs in heaven being one such example.

That anyone could imagine the koran or the Hebrew and Christian bibles are anything other than the work of humans is laughable.

I would have liked to have seen the videos but unfortunately as of 29 May 2010 they appear to have been deleted.  But thank you for taking the time to comment on them, I reckon it would have been extremely interesting to listen to Hitchens on the Koran.
