Sam Harris doesn't mention the rampant materialism seeking to impose its world view on other cultures as in any way responsible for the troubles and conflict we see today. Materialsim is not a neutral viewpoint, just as any other philosophical worldview is not neutral. We may disagree with other peoples views it does not give us the right to impose our views on other cultures.
