      @SamHarrisOrg would you agree that entire basis of your argument rests on your (subjective) assessment of the threat of Islam?

      @elZindiq I would say it rests on the logical and behavioral consequences of its actual doctrines of martyrdom, apostasy, etc.

      @SamHarrisOrg consequences of a very specific interpretation of those doctrines.

      @elZindiq Do you have an interpretation that suggests apostasy isn't a crime or that martyrdom is a fiction?

      @SamHarrisOrg If you count the personal interpretations of millions of Muslims who tolerate apostates & don't commit martyrdom .. yes

      @elZindiq But there is no tradition that supports their apathy. If I'm wrong, point me to it.

      @SamHarrisOrg what you call "apathy" IS and has been the dominant tradition throughout history.

      @elZindiq By "tradition," I mean a doctrinally supported school--not just what many people do who don't take religion seriously.

          @SamHarrisOrg doesn't that say something about the power of the doctrine when so many people for so long are able to not take it seriously?

          @elZindiq Please, your minimizing how many take it seriously. But even if it were only 10 percent. That 150 million potential jihadists.

          @samharrisorg @elzindiq The Torah is as prescriptively brutal as the Koran. The number of Jews who advocate it as the rule of law is zero.

          @samharrisorg @elzindiq The alarming rise of the Islamic State — and its threat to the world — are no longer hypotheticals.

          @gingi0 ISIL is brutal and scary but not a threat to the world. It is surrounded by powerful armies that are hostile to it.

          @elzindiq That's naive. ISIL is more powerful than Al Qaeda, whose terror reached 6 continents. It has sympathizers across the globe.

          @gingi0 I would argue AQ threat was also exaggerated. Used to justify Iraq invasion that further fueled Islamist threat. See a trend here?

          @elZindiq Absolutely. It's a vicious cycle. Does it diminish the brutal atrocities committed by these fundamentalist groups? Hardly.

          @AtheistStoned that's an assumption that betrays a glaring ignorance of the contemporary politics of the Greater ME
