That's why Harris ignores all the evil shit in the Bible? And Torah? And that's why he singles out Islam?
They all have vile bits and nice bits. They all have cherry pickers. Extremism is not the cause of violence, it's one of its symptoms. Not a reason, an excuse. Violent people and environments will continue to be violent and nurture hate, religion or not. Any philosophy could end up in its place.
Huh? Yea if you read only one of his books. Where do you get the idea he singles out Islam? "Letter To A Christian Nation". He knows Christianity once looked like Islam. Islam really is the only religion with the biggest PR problem at this point in time.
My only beef with him is he tries to coddle Buddhism and the religions of the Orient as if those are better, and they are not. But he's gone after Christianity too.
