The same old half-baked lies and misrepresentations of Harris that he was dealing with years ago. You're not interested in what Harris really says.

@abyshadid5034 "I think a guy who finds it ok to bomb people over having different ideologies and opinions, without recognizing the irony of his own position, " That isn't Sam Harris. You're trying to quote mine something he said in one of his books.... he was not saying that.

Mine shows as a single dislike, which I did. It's rigged....

@neoswordian91 "you could look at the history of Christianity and say the same " Sam Harris has been very critical of Christianity as well. It just doesn't get the same publicity.

@hawkesworth1712 "There have been 10 female leaders of muslim countries - how many in the US?" Ah Reza Aslan's line... Sarah Haider responds to this claim quite well to show it's not quite what it seems. Many of those women were put into a position as a figurehead by a relative who actually had the power.

@hawkesworth1712 ".and you know that garbage how? " Read her article 'Reza Aslan is Wrong About Islam and This is Why'

@J Bat You don't have to have a PhD in Islamic studies to be able to point out the problems.

J. C. "No, he always singles out Muslims in his speeches while giving free passes to Jews and Christians." Wrong. He has discussed the Christianity and Judaism over and over... he has focused on them in more debates than he has Islam. The "free pass' here is that no one complains when he discusses those religions.

@Fuctmentality If you think that's the reason you're kidding yourself. If you criticise Christianity you get very little outrage. If you dare point out problems with Islam you trigger people and get called a racist.

"I know, but to act as if Islam is a monolith boogyeman is counterproductive" Translation: You're not allowed to be critical of Islam. You can dance around it and spout your pseudo intellectual piffle that's what you're really trying to say.

"New Atheism = Christian morality and Western chauvinism with none of the theological pretense" You don't understand atheism.

"LOL how the hell did you get that from what I said" Oh look he's all confused. I'm guessing that happens to you a lot. If anyone dares to criticise islam you have a problem with them. You cry about bogeymen and being counter productive. "All religions SHOULD be criticized, " You don't actually think that though. If anyone criticises islam you are triggered. ...like a whiny little bitch. "but with honesty and with integrity" Where have I been dishonest? "ou nu atheists are just vulgar, unintelligent fuck heads that do" I'm only skimming drivel like this... you're crying like a baby because you can't make a sensible argument.

@abyshadid5034 You just reinforced my point. You're quote mining to misrepresent what was said. Sam has explained what he meant by this quote over and over... See 'ON THE MECHANICS OF DEFAMATION'.... I'm guessing you're not interested in what he actually says though. You just want to quote mine and misrepresent.

",Sam Harris is the most "misrepresented guy" out there." I didn't claim that at all. Jordan Peterson is probably more misrepresented for one. "Glenn Greenwald, in a livestream with Kyle Kulinski, claimed that Harris is one of the only public intellectuals who does not own what he says. " With statements like that we can see what a slimy moron Greenwald is. He's tried to further his career smearing and misrepresenting Harris. " Harris follows that up with "clarifications" that, according to Greenwald" Yeah you should probably stop just repeating whatever Greenwald says.... "Given that Harris is quite intelligent and must know what he's doing," He talks about difficult topics is what he's doing.... " will rush to his defens" Yeah people tend to call out bullshit.

"you Harris bots are boring and predictable" That's quite ironic considering you're fond of spewing drivel like this.. "Blah blah fuckin blah "StOp MiSrEpReSeNtInG" blah, you" " Harris couldn't hold a fucking candle to Greenwald" Greenwald is a joke... following your simpleton's logic you're just a Greenwald bot... Greenwald is pseudo intellectual that only the gullible fall for... i.e. You kid. "All Harris had was "BUT DA MOZLUMS ARE BAD MMKAY ATHEISM SMARTER"" Wow what a highly intellectual analysis you lay out there. You're obviously some sort of academic genius. This is about the level of intellectual content people expect from fanboy bots like yourself. You're not ready to discuss this topic. Come back after you've grown up kid. Perhaps you'll have something of value to say then.

"Russell Brand SCHOOLS Sam Harris On Every Subject (Video)" Oh please what a stupid title. Can't believe I fell for it. 0/10 points for your clickbait bullshit.

@khalidibrahim5362 "But he is not an expert in Islam " Nor does he claim to be or need to be. "He can't read QURAN directly by himself " You do realise there are english translations around right? You understand that right? "Never lived among muslim majority society" Irrelevant. "- He does not have any degree in any religion." Also irrelevant. You don't need to be part of the religion to point out the immorality and problems with it. I don't need to be a thetan level 6 in scientology to tell you its bullshit. No one does.... not do you need to have a degree to see the problems with Islam.

@CaptainKaKow "He calls Islam "the motherlode of bad ideas"," Actually he said that once. Since then he has stated that he would reword that to "a motherlode" .

@XxlolktkatxX "the 9 year old marriage is a myth. And if just search her name on google you will find that you were fooled "Aisha" she was at least 18" False. She was a child who played with dolls.
1
@XxlolktkatxX So basically everything that shows you are wrong... you will just declare false.
1
@XxlolktkatxX "she was in the battle of Ohod in the 3thd year and the prophet rejected 15 year old boys so how can he allow a 10 year old girl to go the the battle " She was his wife.... she wasn't fighting she was just providing support. You're clutching at straws there. "2 her sister was older then her by 10 years and she was famous because she died at 100 years old" Hah..yeah right. the average life expectancy back then would have been less than 50. You're clutching at straws. you're applying confirmation and rejection bias... any evidence that contradicts you - you wave away... and evidence you think you can distort to support you - you like that. You're only interested in validating your beliefs, you're not interested in the truth.
1
@XxlolktkatxX " no the average life was 65 " I seriously doubt that... you haven't demonstrated this to be correct ...but it's fairly irrelevant. ". And there's a lot more evidence that she wasn't 9 like comparing her age to other people." You've yet to present any evidence... all you've done is spout pathetic denials. "And your only evidence is a false Hadith" haha there we go... all the evidence that proves you wrong you just declare is false... You sound ridiculous.... As for "only" you are wrong. I posted this below...You didn't respond to it. So you've got Aisha herself telling us her age... and you won't believe her. You are a classic example of rejection/confirmation bias in action. Muhammad was a vile pedophile. ------------------------- How do we actually know that Mohammed at age 50 married a 6 year old? The sources for Mohammed’s marriage is not some modern slur, but rather comes from traditional Islamic sources. Is it simply one obscure minor reference? No, not at all, it is all over the place, there are in fact many many different references. Sahih al-Bukhari (is one of the Kutub al-Sittah (six major hadith collections) of Sunni Islam, in some circles, this is considered the most authentic book after the Quran) – 5:58:234, 5:58:236, 7:62:64, 7:62:65, 7:62:88, Sahih Muslim (is the second most authentic hadith collection after Sahih al-Bukhari, and is highly acclaimed) – 8:3309, 8:3310, 8:3311, 41:4915 Sunan Abu Dawood (is one of the Kutub al-Sittah (six major hadiths), collected by Abu Dawud) – 41:4917 Looking at the very first – Volume 5, Book 58, Number 234: Narrated Aisha: The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became Allright, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, “Best wishes and Allah’s Blessing and a good luck.” Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah’s Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age. Are these Hadith collections the only sources? No, there are also other independent sources for this as well, for example al-Ṭabarī (a Persian scholar and historian), records a slightly different variation and notes that she was ten – Tabari, Volume 9, Page 131; Tabari, Volume 7, Page 7

@XxlolktkatxX The Quran and the Hadith were written by men.... men create religions

@XxlolktkatxX That's what all the religions think.
