Sam Harris' interview with Tim Ferris' podcast is very good. I consider myself very liberal and had my thinking evolve as a result of the discussion.

It's not ok to give religions (of any stripe) a free pass if their doctrine affects basic human rights...the real problem is the society wide angst about confronting bad behaviour that results from (insert religion here) doctrine.

Islam is not alone in having anti-human right doctrines...but the point is, just because you believe in 'whatever' you can't encroach on someone else's basic human rights.

religiously justified misogyny, bigotry and murder is offside...and being nervous about talking about it is also wayy offside too. We can't be bullied into letting it slide just because a group who consider themselves holy will go batsh*t
