    There are more Arab atheists than you think - Barbaric laws & practices keep them in the closet. http://www.newrepublic.com/article/121559/rise-arab-atheists … via @tnr

        @sapinker @calisthene The article is based on a single poll and @tnr offers no link or information about it other than results. Hm...

        @sapinker @tnr @SamHarrisOrg Can Islam can leapfrog over moderate religion, like the third world over powerlines straight to cellphones?

        @sapinker @tnr there is also a misconception about this race created by religion and rulers similar to calling Côte-d'Ivoire France
