        if you live in nothing but relative bliss, it will no longer feel like "bliss." Need darkness to see the light. @SamHarrisOrg

        @Felipelaravl The Principle of Freedom is the greatest of meaning of secular liberalism. Yet it's woefully undervalued.

        "On a basic level, violence offers meaning." That much is true - if you have a faulty moral compass

        Rephrased: the desire for liberal democracy in the Muslim world can be partly understood through the failures of theocracy.

        A secularist must choose his/her own meaning and purpose. We will often choose poorly, thus theocracy attracts.

        Author seems to deny the basic need of humans to grow & advance. Religion is destined for the trash heap of civilization.

        Good article, but Islamism is the enemy and the problem. Liberal, secular democracy is not up for debate, it's non-negotiable. @SamHarrisOrg

        "He said pussy." No, he bragged about sexual assault, & that's not nearly the worse he has said.
