I love Sam Harris. There. I said it.

I believe the point Ayan was making is that we should not be so tolerant that we tolerate intolerance. As the vote is a stand against the spread of the Islamic religion, I will say good for Switzerland. If the vote was to allow the Nazis to set up and begin taking over areas of the country, how would you vote then?

O shit. I was only making the comparison of Muslim to Nazi in the sense that they are different. Please no one bomb my house please...

I love Bill's Real Time on HBO and thought the article was pretty good. Some people here just love to hate him. I don't get it.
Like he said, he's a comedian. So you disagree with him on this subject. Why do you hate him so badly? I swear some of the really nasty comments sound like from a witch hunter wanting him burned at the stake.
No wonder we have such a bad reputation for being rude and insensitive to others.

Yes I have met some educated Iraqis. But it is quite obvious that science is the biggest weakspot in any of their education. Especially biology and astrology. Almost not existing in their worldviews' in general. I do have one good Iraqi friend here who fell in love with Carl Sagan! (I knew he'd love his books from speaking with him)
