I was wrong about new atheism, Sam Harris, and Islam

1. First, his racial profiling in which he sadly has had to re-explain too many times.

Islam is not a race to begin with. "Profiling" is indeed a thing, but doesn't always involve race.


And ANYTHING one says that criticizes any religion has to eventually be explained, because religious apologists and enthusiast read too much between the lines, ignore the "bad" directives that religion often champions and take everything personally.

"I do believe there would be opposition to American politics in the Middle East even if Islam did not exist, but I do now believe that the reaction would be much different"

Exactly.
