I largely agree with Sam Harris on this, playing the race card seems odd.

Just to reassure you that it wasn’t a totally wasted post- I watched this 🙂

“Islam is the motherlode of bad ideas”. Went off Harris at that.

I’m not going to sit through all that, but I did see a pretty competent and thoughtful rebuttal of what Bill Maher said and of the media’s massive oversimplification of “Islamic countries” on the Media Matters For America FB feed:

You need to watch this: Reza Aslan calls out the media for generalization and bigotry when reporting on Muslims.

I recommend he read The End of Faith by Harris – think critically and rejoin the conversation.

Please see if you can be arsed.
