Christopher Hitchens: Yamani or your life

Tekst Christophera Hitchensa, objavljen u Slateu, o prijetnjama odmazdom prema novinama koje su objavile karikature proroka Muhameda:

I have just finished reading one of the most astoundingly stupid and nasty documents ever to have landed on my desk. It consists of a letter from a law firm in Saudi Arabia, run by a man named Ahmed Zaki Yamani, to a group of newspapers in Scandinavia. I quote directly from its main paragraphs:

Over the past months my law firm has been contacted by several thousand descendants of the Prophet, who have learned about your newspaper’s republication of the drawing, depicting their esteemed ancestor as a terrorist suicide bomber with a bomb in his turban.

As descendants of the Prophet, these individuals feel personally insulted, emotionally distressed and defamed by your newspaper’s re-publication of the drawing. They have therefore retained my law firm and instructed me to approach you…

So that’s the stupid part – the idea that people who claim descent from a seventh-century warlord and preacher have standing to sue for hurt feelings.
