"Sam Harris on Jew-Hatred, Radical Islam, and the West 7/29/24"

 

Sam Harris, making sense on the issue of Islamic and Jew-hatred. Why it matters to the west. Not just to Israel. 

Russ Roberts of Econtalk makes the usual liberal mistakes about Islam: that “Jihad” just means “spiritual improvement”, that all people are the same and really just want the best for their children, and that there are many “moderate muslims” who have spoken out against the violence of radical Jihad. To which the answers are: no, it doesn't; no they aren’t; and no they haven’t. 

Sam is pretty good at explaining all this, and has been doing so for at least as long as I’ve had this Blog, that is 16 years. And maybe more.
