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

RE: Is Sam Harris becoming a pariah for the anti-religious cause?
I'm not responding to the Palestine V Israel conflict, but to the original intention of the thread. I think Sam Harris has already become an anti-religious 'pariah', the same way it happened with Hitchens and Dawkins, that's just how things tend to go. The fact he is anti-religion (or an anti-theist for that matter) doesn't influence my evaluation of his contribution to both atheism as a 'worldview' and secularism, which are greatly positive. Of course people like those will always affect citizens' beliefs and offend their hearts, but at the same time they automatically de-convert thousands from religion. You can't please both sides.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
