      I think our basic disagreement is that I can think of many non-fascists who are more sensible on Islam than fascists. You and Harris apparently can't.

      Jesus, Mary, & Joseph. You’re not arguing in good faith. The WHOLE point is this. At least 1/2 of the western world has gotten to the point of believing Islam is a peaceful religion & that the violent aspect of it, like Christian terrorists in the 80’s & 90’s,... 1X

      the antisemitic, anti-assimilation, anti-feminist, & anti-American hypocrites that they are, the western progressive movement is in deep trouble. Far-right wing fascist groups & individuals are pointing out this dissonance most loudly, however hate-filled it might be. 4X

      Their messages of hate, discrimination, and violence are repugnant to me and I loudly condemn them. That doesn’t change the fact that they are pointing out that mainstream Islam in the Middle East overwhelmingly supports the same tenets of Islam...5X

      (death to apostates, punishment for homosexuality, compulsory hijab, oppression of women) that Islamic fundamentalists support. This is a statistical fact. The @SamHarrisOrg quote that you pulled out of context describes this very phenomenon. 6X

      The center and left need to recognize that Islam is filled with tenets & beliefs that cannot be reconciled with western laws & values. Freedom of speech, egalitarianism, gay marriage, separation of church & state, gender equality, to name a few. You’re missing the point. 7X

      Do you believe the tenets of Judaism and Christianity are compatible with freedom of speech, gay marriage, gender equality, etc?

      Yet millions of Christians and Jews are able to accept those things. Is it possible that religions really aren't homogenous, that many adherents don't pay attention to tenets, and they are more about social practice than doctrine?

          There’s a difference between criticizing a religion and criticizing its adherents.
