The Rambow Effect: How Moderate Views Fuel Extremism
Henry Rambow wrote an article which essentially regurgitates Sam Harris’s argument about religious moderates being blamed for the existence of extreme religious fundamentalists. Like Harris, Rambow approaches the whole issue with incredible tunnel vision. He seems oblivious to the fact that … Continue reading

Sam Harris Battles a Meme
Atheist activist Dan Arel posted the following on Twitter: Classical liberals: Nazis threatening to murder people of color is just words, words can’t be violent.
