Islam

Safe to say that Sam Harris is not a fan of Islam!

The question is "Is Islam the least tolerable of all the religions?" He writes...

At this point in human history, Islam simply is different from other faiths. The challenge we all face, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, is to find the most benign and practical ways of mitigating these differences and of changing this religion for the better.

Is Islam the type of religion that can be "changed for the better"? Is it open to reform? Is it reformable?

More on this later.

1. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence 

2. What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.


Pretty much sums it up for me!
