1. Let's start with not chopping a person's head off if one disagrees.

And then we can go from there, but only after folks stop chopping heads off, or in anyway hurting or imprisoning folks for mere disagreements.

So let's start with simple human rights. And by the way that extends to women, gays, and people of all races and religious beliefs, including those without religion.

Pretty simple, actually. That is why it is called human rights.

On edit: I agree with the guy, except that he is likely to be putting himself in grave danger in the ME.

2. Yes and no. He looks vaguely familiar

as someone I know is quite wealthy. The consequence of murdering him would be pretty dire.

I also know a lot of Muslims who sound just like him. The one thing they have in common is that they left to pursue things like literature, philosophy, science, medicine, art, and music without the fear of being killed by the religious vigilantes for it.

That's the one thing they need to do first, disband the religious vigilantes.

3. Plus, he obviously does not live in a country where ones head is chopped off for saying such things.

Which is my point.

8. I was thinking the same thing about how long he'll survive after this

Hope he has good security.

4. Damn

He needs more air time.

I recognize the guy he's talking to, but don't know who he is. I saw him in another video where a group of Muslims were discussing whether or not they should follow Shariah law in England (IIRC). This guy was all for it (the guy on the right).

5. Is he talking about Ted Cruz' father?

Sures sounds like it.

6. I hope he stays safe.

7. Wow! God bless him. Well, he already has.
