...I'm beginning to think conspiracy...does Sam Harris work for the CIA or some other political hack group? One minute he's lucid and precise and on-point discussing the evils of religion, the next he's singling out Islam in such a stupid, irrational manner that I begin to wonder....is his anti-religion scholarship a Trojan Horse.....wheedling its way into your head with sound logic and then once inside depositing a great turd of neo-con bullshit?

Listening to a discussion I was following along perfectly, rather easy to do when the a speech you're hearing makes logical sense...and then he said this...."Don't think for a moment that Islamic radicalism has anything to do with the State of Israel, or the war on Iraq, or anything that has been done that Muslims resent"...I'm paraphrasing slightly...then, by way of proving that Islam is "just that way" he said that if these sorts of things were grounds for violence then the Tibetans should be the most violent, suicide-bomber, people on earth because how THEY have suffered at the hands of the Chinese"....huh? Tibet? Where did that come from?

If you're going to compare Islam to any religion it would have to be the two it claims descent from, Judaism and Christianity...so the question should have been, taking Christianity first, "Have you ever known Christians to retaliate with violence when attacked"? THAT would have been logical...would have made sense, but of course it would not have served Sam's propaganda.

In fact, we know Christianity has attacked when NOT attacked...as in the case of Iraq, to mention one out of ten thousand such cases. If anything Muslims have been way too passive and slow to excite to action....a Christian would have been murdering left and right long, long, ago if he was on the receiving end of this kind of "democracy".

...piffle-head!
