A Simple Rule

RE: A Simple Rule
(January 2, 2015 at 3:09 pm)abaris Wrote: That's the problem I have with Harris. He's an intellectual. More power to him, but actually he should try to walk a mile in the shoes of the people he's talking about. Life hasn't changed that much in the Islamic hinterlands for the last few centuries. And that's not a religious problem but a development and cultural problem. People won't get secular just because some intellectual urges them to. They will get secular once they are more educated and provided with actual opportunities.
