- Some right-wing Christians share similar beliefs to Islamists. I want them both fuck the fuck right off.monoboy
- Secular Government, secular education. As the founding fathers wanted it. Worship who you like, just keep it out of classrooms and boardrooms.monoboy
- If you must teach religion, teach all religions. From Puritan to Shinto.monoboy
- or, It's increasingly difficult to coexist with people when other people are telling you that said people are all trying to kill you, when they're actually notFax_Benson
- I think blurring the line between a 'religion' and the 'religious' is counterproductive. It is perfectly OK to criticise the idea.Morning_star
- not if you criticize the left's positions. if you do so you're labeled bigoted, xenophobic, islamophobic... etc. etc.IRNlun6
- Seems like the starting point of most discussions is you must agree with all my positions. If not then you should not be allowed to speak.IRNlun6
- that's because the left's position is that not all muslims are radical terrorists and actually look down on bigotry, xenophobia and islamaphobiamonospaced
- @IRN You're probably aware but Sam Harris has some good podcasts discussing exactly your point. I agree with you too. The liberal left largely have their head..Morning_star

- @Morning_star I am a fan of Sam Harris, although I disagree with his some of his recent stances against Trump.IRNlun6
- Sam mentions how one side thinks terror has nothing to do with muslims vs the other who thinks all muslims are responsible.IRNlun6
- Both sides failing to appreciate how complex the problem is. Trump to me falls in the middle.IRNlun6
- Trump understands there's terrorism in Islam, understands it's a small group and not representative of the whole.IRNlun6
- Trump is very inarticulate in expressing this, so Sam puts him in the camp of blaming all muslims.IRNlun6
- I think Sam doesn't appreciate that this conversation will not be publicly had in an intellectual and articulate way.IRNlun6
- And when you have two very vocal sides that don't even agree that it's so nuanced and complex, well it's going to be messy.IRNlun6
- Indeed. Sadly, it will get worse before it gets better.Morning_star
