Sam Harris is perfectly qualified. So are you. So am I. Yorktown Nov 2015 #22

But he did write a book: "Islam and the future of Tolerance". uawchild Nov 2015 #24

Aren't those fundamentals the same svpadgham Nov 2015 #8

Agreed Yorktown Nov 2015 #14

The bible also preaches killings in some out of context quotes too... cascadiance Nov 2015 #21

Yes. Because the Quran is just the Old Testament recycled with add-ons. Yorktown Nov 2015 #23

I don't claim to be a religious expert, but this article notes that Judeo-Christian is more violent cascadiance Nov 2015 #25

Sadly, the religious experts are lying Yorktown Nov 2015 #26

If the OT was just a "land title deed", then WHY is it in the bible? cascadiance Nov 2015 #31

I can solemnly swear I have no religious turf to protect. Yorktown Nov 2015 #33

What is the point? Let's do nothing? earthside Nov 2015 #4

Many people do blame all Muslims, and their responses have been horrifying.... Turborama Nov 2015 #6

Muslims have stood with us in the past and we and the media have IGNORED them!!! cascadiance Nov 2015 #9

I don't think the OP suggests we do nothing. svpadgham Nov 2015 #11

Well played sir. FLPanhandle Nov 2015 #29

I don't think all Muslims are to blame for terrorists but that is a weak analogy in the OP aikoaiko Nov 2015 #28

Just because you don't doesn't mean the blaming doesn't exist. n/t Turborama Nov 2015 #41

Of course the blaming exists, but my point is what central text or creed do all musicians follow? aikoaiko Nov 2015 #42

. Turborama Nov 2015 #47

But I do blame all musicians for Ted Nuget!! LostOne4Ever Nov 2015 #30

Surely true..but blaming Non-Muslims is like blaming all dogs for Ted Nugent whatthehey Nov 2015 #32

It is however, a convenient way to determine who the sub-literate idiots are. LanternWaste Nov 2015 #34

Actually, more like: Blaming all Chrisitians for Fred Phelps/KKK (which rarely happens) or Behind the Aegis Nov 2015 #39

Or blaming all gun rights supporters for the actions of a mad man. N/T beevul Nov 2015 #40

Let me answer your question with some questions of my own. BlueStater Nov 2015 #50

OK. beevul Nov 2015 #53

Nobody blames all Muslims. Absolutely brainless meme. /nt LiberalAndProud Nov 2015 #51

There was a poster on another thread (whom I have blocked) Maedhros Nov 2015 #52
