@DougJanack We shouldn't give an inch on free speech and see where that takes us. We have already lost a lot of ground by that standard.
@DougJanack The "humiliation" piece is mostly religious. In any case, I'm talking about the increase in danger due to the Koran burning.

@SamHarrisOrg@DougJanack Wondering how many people are still going to believe media driven outrage ie: Koran burning. -
@Blake1x@SamHarrisOrg By "media driven outrage", do you mean that the media exaggerated the extent of the outrage in the Islamic world? -
@DougJanack@SamHarrisOrg Yes, on a daily basis. -
@Blake1x@SamHarrisOrg Yes, I think that may be true. Thus, I feared a greater impact on ISAF troops than turned out to be the case. -
@DougJanack@SamHarrisOrg The Taliban/Al Qaeda use Islam as a weapon that they know the media is hypersensitive to.

@SamHarrisOrg As it turned out, the Koran burning probably added little to the grievances that fueled the insurgency. It was small potatoes.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@SamHarrisOrg When a country is invaded, occupied, with all the harms that entails, the humiliation is more than religious.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
