So I saw Sam Harris on CNN talking about Muslims [View all]

and he said that Ben Carson and Donald Trumps are bigots and their attitudes toward Muslims are horrible. He also said that Muslims certainly should be considered for the presidency and there are literally thousands and thousands of American Muslims that would be great presidents (and certainly all would be far superior to Carson and Trump).

So what happened to him. From reading certain forums on DU, I thought he would be right on the bigotry train with Carson talking about how Muslims are evil baby eaters.
