The myth of a small minority of radicalized Muslims.

[Yuri Bezmenov]

This is your brain.

This is your brain on fundamentalist Islam. 

Any questions??

But he's on the internet.  How can he be wrong?

Ben Shapiro is a very smart guy. Very articulate and great in a debate. However i agree with about half of what he says. I have not watched the video yet. Have to go to bed

He is a smart guy who, shall we say, interprets the numbers to suit his purposes. It's a very good quality if you are a lawyer.

Even before I posted this, I could see how he was shifting the goalposts from country to country to make his point. I agree with several points that Jon Greenberg makes in this article but I still agree with Ben's main point although I wouldn't use the word "radicalized".

I think what Ben shows with his video is just how ultra-conservative (by the standards of the rest of the world) the Islamic world is.

I think it proves what Ayaan Hirsi Ali says, that Islam is in need of a liberalizing reform movement.

Am I agreeing with Pappy here?

Wow.

Ayaan became a lot more interesting since she started working from that angle. Really liked a long interview with her that I read a while ago.

I really don't think you can get a good cross section polling in those countries,  in general women don't have much of a voice so the people answering will be mostly male and  unless it's anonymous people tend to go with what they perceive as the popular opinion or what ever their religious leaders tell them regardless of what they believe.    I do agree that they need a liberalizing reform movement to move them into at least the twentieth century,  moving them to the twenty first might just be asking too much

Islam is in need of a liberalizing reform movement.

I think they need Jesus. 

[Pyraxis]

Howbout a liberalizing movement that brings them back to the tenth century?
