    SBF - You obviously have no interest in understanding Harris' statements in context... Your loss.

    By the way Islam is an evil belief system.

    You have thrown plenty of insults - najw

    Now you are just lying.

    Please deal with this statement "parroting your biases"

    I was talking to SBF.

    Sam Harris said all these things

    No Donald Trump inherently said those things

    Harris on the other hand just reiterated and critiqued what Trump has said and made a evaluation upon those statements .

    No Sam Harris said them, long before Trump even ran for president.

    Racial profiling, Muslim faith evil, using nuclear bombs on Arab countries may be necessary. Check it out.

    When people argue Islam is an especially evil religion they often point to verses in the Koran that promote killing non-believers or sexism or homophobia. But what about the Bible verses that do the same? That's different they say because Christians don't take those verses seriously. Yet history shows they did and some still do. And on the other side you have devout Muslims whose religion moves them to peace and tolerance. So if isn't the text and it isn't the bahaviour that sets Islam apart, what is it but pure bigotry?

    You exacerbated your insults with false accusations. Now you are pretending to take the moral high ground. Predictable.

    using nuclear bombs on Arab countries may be necessary.

    Really whenever did Harris say that ?

    He has said in the past that the Muslim religion can be very dangerous and therefore should be watched over with careful observation to where it is practiced, particularly concerning human rights abuse.

    The bible is an evil book. Parts of the OT are worse than the quran

    That's different they say because Christians don't take those verses seriously. Yet history shows they did

    Yes.

    and some still do.

    Really? Can you think of a country where christian apostates are executed, or homosexuals are imprisoned or killed?

    And on the other side you have devout Muslims whose religion moves them to peace and tolerance.

    Yes, mostly Muslims who have never read the quran and hadith in their own language.

    So if isn't the text and it isn't the bahaviour that sets Islam apart, what is it but pure bigotry?

    It is the text and the behaviour. Read the stats on Muslims in the west who want to impose sharia law. The percentage who approve of killing apostates. The majority who treat their wives and daughters as possessions or who view non-Muslims as kafir.

    Can you think of a Muslim majority country where you would want to take your wife, daughters and gay son to enjoy a better life? It is an especially evil religion.

    I think its important to read what he said following that statement........

    " Needless to say, this would be an unthinkable crime—as it would kill tens of millions of innocent civilians in a single day—but it may be the only course of action available to us, given what Islamists believe. How would such an unconscionable act of self-defense be perceived by the rest of the Muslim world? It would likely be seen as the first incursion of a genocidal crusade. The horrible irony here is that seeing could make it so: this very perception could plunge us into a state of hot war with any Muslim state that had the capacity to pose a nuclear threat of its own. All of this is perfectly insane, of course: I have just described a plausible scenario in which much of the world’s population could be annihilated on account of religious ideas that belong on the same shelf with Batman, the philosopher’s stone, and unicorns. That it would be a horrible absurdity for so many of us to die for the sake of myth does not mean, however, that it could not happen."

    Now with Trump in the White House, does any of these purposed occurrences make for a possibility citing Trump's rhetoric against Muslims. ?
