Here is a 3 hour discussion/interview with Sam Harris. https://youtube/watch?v=WVl3BJoEoAU there are some really interesting points at 0.56, 1:30, 2:00 and 2:30 Tl;DR. Sam: Islam has a death cult element that is not present in other religions, where it is possible to justify ignoring the violent parts of their books. The fringe is not that fringe. When someone says its why they did it, its why they did it. Liberial people often deny the role of religions in these problems. Honestly it is too hard to properly represent his views in bullet points (which is why the was a problem in the first place) youll have to take time off to watch it. Cenk: Geopolitical and cultural reasons are weighted higher than the religions which are all sufficiently bad to be used to justify violence. The disagreement is how to weight politics and religion in the reason for the horrible things that happen in the muslum world. Cenk particularly disagrees with Sams stance on Israel. Sam thinks that wars for oil/money is a little conspiracy theorist.
