Yes, Rajeev. One hell of an intellect the man was. Loved the way he wrote, his dissection and criticism of Islam and Christianity, and his style of tearing down some fraudsters like Jerry Falwell.

Some of his pieces in Atlantic, Slate, New Yorker were excellent ones.

Some samples here too: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/fighting_words/2011/09/pakistan_is_the_enemy.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter...:-).
