Can almost see why people are confused. Truth is Islam causes both terrorism and poverty.

@SR71999@SamHarrisOrg Harris is a smart guy. I could see him going down that path. -
@HbdNrx Maybe. I think Pinker understands a lot of this, too. I *bet* he believes in race-IQ to certain degree, but won't come out.

@SamHarrisOrg I agree this is overstated, but poverty likely contributes to extremism to some extent, that doesn't mean it's the only cause. -
@GMcLean0011
@SamHarrisOrg So is Islam ruled countries the only poor countries in the world? Where are all the Ethiopian terrorists? -
@NunoFDias@SamHarrisOrg If you want examples of extremism in poor African countries, look up Boko Haram and the Lord's Resistance Army. -
@GMcLean0011
@SamHarrisOrg umm, those seem to have one thing in common, I wonder what it is... -
@NunoFDias@SamHarrisOrg Do you have blinders on? They do have religion in common, they also have lots of other things in common too. -
@GMcLean0011
@SamHarrisOrg Sure they like to sew and they are fund Islamists. But sewing doesn't provide cosmic justification for terror -
@AlicUnknown@SamHarrisOrg Agreed. But why choose religion? It's not unreasonable that poor individuals search for meaning [1/2]
