That is sometimes true, in that it is misused, but dismissing it's use as more indicative of a user fault than a target fault is just an example of profound intellectual vacancy.
His anti-Muslim bigotry, as Corsi corrected for clarity, is not found in the accuracy of his statement about Islam itself but in his suggested treatment of Muslims and his over-demonization of Islam above all else, regardless of any evidence.
Is Islam the most dangerous active religion based on dogma and sheer size? I think so, absolutely. Does that mean there is no limit to what one can say without being guilty of bigotry? Of course not. Does talking about something dangerous in a way that surpasses reason and logic absolve one of criticism? Of course not.
I disagree with Corsi on the point of Harris' greatest strength being his clarity. He is prolifically unclear and poorly thought-out. His constant need to clarify his own statements is evidence of this.
