@SamHarrisOrg @bramatti @JeffreyGoldberg (1) Using the word "Islamism" to refer to the cause of the violence is like using the word
True. But the tendency to use 2, 3, or 4 to deny 1 is shocking and worth focusing on.https://twitter.com/JeffreyGoldberg/status/742060645890166784 …

@SamHarrisOrg@bramatti@JeffreyGoldberg (cont) (2) "Judaism" to refer to the cause of an attact in a pride parade in Jerusalem. Not fair. -
@hardy_nh_3@SamHarrisOrg@JeffreyGoldberg I desagree. "Islamism" means political Islam. A global movement that inspires terrorism. -
@bramatti@SamHarrisOrg@JeffreyGoldberg OK but I'm worried lay people like me may interpret it in a different way. Fear & phobia everywhere -
@hardy_nh_3@SamHarrisOrg@JeffreyGoldberg Yes. We are criticizing ideology, not people, but that distinction is not always clear. -
@bramatti@SamHarrisOrg@JeffreyGoldberg Got it. Just think it's dangerous not to make the distinction clear. And too often it's not.

Shouldn't extremists of the religion of peace be extremely peaceful?
@SamHarrisOrg@JeffreyGoldberg -
@TheSafestSpace@SamHarrisOrg@JeffreyGoldberg Pretty sure the religion of peace is#atheism -
#atheism is not a religion. Maybe a doubtgion.@capn_patriarchy@TheSafestSpace@SamHarrisOrg@JeffreyGoldberg -
@ZachsMind@TheSafestSpace@SamHarrisOrg@JeffreyGoldberg That was my point. Make sense now?

@SamHarrisOrg@JeffreyGoldberg people believe all sorts of crazy shit, but if he hadn't been able to purchase guns, things may be different -
@rhiansheehan@SamHarrisOrg@JeffreyGoldberg You mean like France where it is VERY difficult to buy a gun?

@SamHarrisOrg We don't see the irony in claiming someone who strongly believes in the teachings of their religion is therefore mentally ill. - Show more

@SamHarrisOrg Religion gets the kid glove treatment because people think religious beliefs merit special respect over other ideas. -
@SamHarrisOrg@JeffreyGoldberg criticizing 2,3, and 4 won't make you fear for your life. -

@SamHarrisOrg Exactly. People on both the left and the right pick and choose reasons that line up with their ideologies. -
The issue is that guns are not necessary for a terror attack.
@vsevolod_tk@SamHarrisOrg -
@Animalmutt@SamHarrisOrg I know. Never said they are. Just saying that people will disregard legitimate reasons b/c of their ideologies. -
Oh I know. I ment to comment on why I think ppl are so reactive to the anti gun arguments today.
