Here’s one quote from Christopher Hitchens.
Christopher Hitchens
Christopher Eric Hitchens (1949 – 2011) was an English-American author and journalist. His books, essays, and journalistic career have spanned more than four decades, making him a public intellectual, and a staple of talk shows and lecture circuits. He has been a columnist and literary critic at The Atlantic, Vanity Fair, Slate, World Affairs, The Nation, Free Inquiry, and a variety of other media outlets.
“Islam in its origins is just as shady and
approximate as those from which it took its borrowings. It makes immense claims
for itself, invokes prostrate submission or `surrender’ as a maxim to its
adherents, and demands deference and respect from nonbelievers into the
bargain. There is nothing—absolutely nothing—in its teachings that can even
begin to justify such arrogance and presumption.[35]
“If the Qur'an was the word of God, it had been
dictated on a very bad day.[36]
"Some of what people are saying in this mosque
controversy is very similar to what German media was saying about Jews in the
1920s and 1930s,” Imam Abdullah Antepli,
Muslim chaplain at Duke University, told the New York Times. Yes, we all recall
the Jewish suicide bombers of that period, as we recall the Jewish yells for
holy war, the Jewish demands for the veiling of women and the stoning of homosexuals,
and the Jewish burning of newspapers that published cartoons they did not like.
What is needed from the supporters of this very confident faith is more
self-criticism and less self-pity and self-righteousness.[37]”

From the 1662 Book of
Common Prayer, the Collect for Good
Friday:
O
MERCIFUL God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing
that thou hast made, nor wouldest the death of a sinner, but rather that he
should be converted and live; Have mercy upon all Jews, Turks, Infidels, and
Hereticks, and take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of
thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord, to thy flock, that they may be
saved among the remnant of the true Israelites, and be made one fold under one
shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy
Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
