Is Sam Harris becoming a pariah for the anti-religious cause?

[Brian37]

Regardless of his opinions on Israel I have never really liked Sam Harris. He's always struck me as someone who doesn't really read opinions other than his own. There is also all his pretentious spiritual Buddhist mumbo jumbo. He should stick to talking to subjects he actually knows something about.

I am a bit miffed at his argument for blindly supporting Israel and his Buddhist woo does give me a lip twitch, but his books "The End Of Faith" and "Letter To A Christian Nation" do give lots of insight to the religious motivations of theists.
