<\/a>(Quack-Fleck)<\/p>\ncould have used that insurance. Batman Ben was on last<\/p>\n
Friday, & it was a heated discussion with Maher and this<\/p>\n
author named Sam Harris on the topic of Islam\/Muslims<\/p>\n
This is unpacking a nuanced argument, that is being over<\/p>\n
generalized by “thoughtful people”, who are simply being<\/p>\n
intellectually lazy. ‘Extremists’ from any religion or crazy<\/p>\n
ideology are bad. Let’s all agree to that up front. Now Bill<\/p>\n
wants to go on, & say something that’s statistically untrue<\/p>\n
“Let’s get down to who has the right answer here. A billion Ben: “A billion five or something like that”<\/p>\n Bill: “Don’t hold these “pernicious beliefs” (Terrorism)?!?<\/p>\n (Cross talk)<\/p>\n Ben: “No, they don’t”<\/p>\n Bill: “That’s just not true Ben. That’s just NOT true”<\/p>\n You basically have the ideas of Pam Geller’s<\/a> point of view<\/p>\n being espoused by both Bill and Sam; & they’re not done:<\/p>\n “Just imagine some concentric circles here. In the center Ben: “Horrible bad people”<\/p>\n Sam: “Outside of them we have Islamist’s; these are people Ben: “What are you basing that research on?!?!”<\/p>\n Sam: “A bunch of poll results that we can talk about…”<\/p>\n WHAT exact poll results? His ASS<\/a>. It was totally made up<\/p>\n Their was also a pew poll, where they asked Muslim areas<\/p>\n “Do you support a Death Penalty for leaving Islam”? Well<\/p>\n the results were NOT what Maher said<\/a>. The fact, that 6 of<\/p>\n them, were over 53% bothers the fuck out of me. But OUT<\/p>\n of 20 Islamic counties, 14 are 38% or way lower at 2%. So<\/p>\n the vast majority are NOT extremist. Religious extremism<\/p>\n of ANY flavor is the issue here, and generalizing one while<\/p>\n ignoring all others is SO very short sited. It’s also ignorant<\/p>\n Supreme Court Tells Bigots To Go Blow<\/strong><\/p>\n The Supreme Court has rejected<\/a> to hear anti-gay marriage<\/p>\n appeals from 5 states(Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia &<\/p>\n<\/a>(Sausage fest)<\/p>\n
\npeople you say, all these billion people don’t hold ANY of
\nthese prin…..(Then he is interrupted by Ben at this point)”<\/p>\n
\nyou have Jihadist’s. These are people who wake up in the
\nmorning wanting to kill apostates, wanting to die trying,
\nthey believe in paradise, they all believe in this ehhhhh…”<\/p>\n
\nwho are just as convinced of martyrdom, paradise, and eh,
\nwanting to ‘foist’ their religion on the rest of humanity, but
\nthey want to work within the system, & they’re not going to
\n“blow themselves up on a bus”, and they all want to change
\ngovernments, they want to use Democracy against itself…..
\nThat…those 2 circles arguably are 20% of the Muslim world”<\/p>\n<\/a>(Oh shit)<\/p>\n
