@SamHarrisOrg Out there doing field research on the stuff you only speculate about?

@GarethCraze Really? Just what do you think "field research" among ISIS would turn up? Go ahead: "speculate." -
@SamHarrisOrg Probably that their professed religious motives are a secondary driver (at best) of their movement's solidarity and actions. -
@GarethCraze And yet religion is the ONLY difference between themselves and the people they are fighting...

@SamHarrisOrg Yes. It has nothing to do with decades of sanctions, intervention, destabilization and general fuckery. -
@024601 What sanctions were in place in the year 900? -
@SamHarrisOrg@024601 you're a gigantic idiot. ISIS was not created in the year 900. -
@KaliZara Incredible. How long have Sunni and Shia been fighting, in your opinion? -
@SamHarrisOrg under the banner of ISIS versus the government of Maliki, both using US supplied weapons? Not even a decade. -
@KaliZara you are missing the elephant in the room. They are motivated by their religion and nothing else. -
@Fl0rFlorian wow. Stupidest comment heard today. It couldn't possibly be because their friends and family are being droned to death. -
@KaliZara@Fl0rFlorian Let me get this straight. The Shia are fighting the Sunnis because they both hate America?@SamHarrisOrg - 3 more replies

@SamHarrisOrg You're missing the point, Sam. If religion wasn't around to form a basis for morality things could get ugly.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
