This presupposes that the problem exists, and that somehow liberals should "deal" with it. What does that even mean?
What's there to debate? It's a bonkers claim, and no one has even tried to prove that it makes sense, let alone that it matters enough to talk about.

You seem to be in combat mode. I'm a liberal, but I struggle with liberalisms extremely broad range of tolerance, especially towards certain religiously motivated violence.
I stand by my point... the purpose of this thread did not seem to be blaming liberals, it seemed to be taking up Sam Harris' point of asking why liberals give violent religion a free pass. It's a liberal vs liberal debate in my mind, not conservative vs liberal.
