mralstoner is a complete nutcase. I've had run ins with his posts before. Based on everything I've seen him post, I can safely say he's a fucktard. Condemnation enough?
The other guy I don't know. Taking children away from parents is really extreme, I agree, and should only be done if they are being mentally abused. That said, the line between sincerely held religious beliefs and mental/physical abuse is a finer line than you might think, especially since he did say "radical" Islam.

Especially the populistic right wingers.I can't and won't be held to account for what some fucktard somewhere posted. If we're talking about a reputable leader with a media presence and a substantial following, that's one thing (it doesn't have to be Harris, it could be Hitchens, Dennet or (Nature's God help me) Dawkins.
Actually, if it's not about evolution, let me say right now that I probably disagree with and/or am aghast by what Dawkins has to say about anything.
