...he's amazing, really and not in a good way.....in this debate he says again and again, "I spends most of my time attacking Christianity not Islam"...that may be true, in actual time spent...but he ADVOCATES all sorts of horrible things should be DONE, not "said against"...ISLAM and Muslims!

..it MIGHT be "equal time" verbal attacks, or even weighed against Christianity....BUT...no one is starving to death 700,000 Christian children. Harris keeps forgetting that we attacked innocent people and starved children to death and have meddling and toppling governments and supporting dictators AND Israel for decades...and maybe THAT has something to do with it!

...at least Hedges and the moderator held Harris' feet to the fire a little...he didn't get away with his I-am-wiser-than-thou-because-I-talk-like-this act or manner.

The moderator especially erupted when Harris said that a good Pew poll (which happened to say what he liked) is worth much more than some reporter (Hedges) wandering around the MidEast for years and "chatting up folks"......what a stupid comment, coming from a "scientist"....that's like saying we should have stuck with Aristotle's notion that you could just "figure things out with your head" and didn't need to actually TEST anything...in other words, Harris is mocking the SCIENTIFIC METHOD.

And, the Pew survey he liked asked 38,000 Muslims in several countries if they thought suicide bombing was a valid activity they approved of...and Harris was shocked SHOCKED that a large percentage said yes. But, what were they really saying yes to? If suicide bombing is ALL you have to fight with, then it seems logical you USE it and many would APPROVE of it. What else are Iraqi parents supposed to fight back with?

I mean we ADMITTED the average Iraq was helpless when we instituted the Sanctions...the logic behind which was to get parents so angry and aggrieved that THEY would rise up against Saddam, which they never did, so WE had to go in and do it....so the average common man or woman has not the tools, the weapons nor the means to GET at the people who are really causing their misery....their ONLY weapon is suicide, that's how desperate their situation is, so OF COURSE other Muslims will approve, in significant numbers...fer chrissakes we APPROVED, in great numbers, of the slow starvation of Iraqi children.,....THAT is better than suicide bombing a marketplace?

In WW II we were desperate to do SOMETHING, and fast, to Japan in revenge for Pearl Harbor...but we were losing the war that first year...still Roosevelt was determined to do something...and the best the military, not civilians, but the Chiefs of Staff could come with was "Suicide Bombing"...they dreamed up a mission to firebomb Tokyo and took only volunteers because they admitted the chances of getting out alive were very very small...and most of the pilots died...and they all KNEW it was a suicide mission and they were PROUD to be willing to lay down their lives for their people and cause......and, their targets were WOMEN and CHILDREN, not a military base...the whole idea behind it was to spread terror among CIVILIANS because, at that date, they had no MILITARY option.

Harris is a racist and bigot who hides behind an "equal attack on Christianity and Judaism".....two religions no one is attacking whom THEY have not been PULVERIZING.
