It's All About PP

   A lot has been said about Ben Affleck's response to Bill Maher's silly and irrational argument about Islam, but, in fact , it was Sam Harris's interpretation of Islam that made me laugh my head off. Harris stupidly says:" imagine concentric circles, at the center you have jihadist...outside of them we have Islamist... Who want to enforce Islam without blowing themselves up on a bus.... These make 20% of the Muslims around the world .....outside these 2 circles, we have conservative Muslims .... They hold views about human rights, about women, about homosexuals that are deeply troubling.... They keep women & homosexuals immiserated  in these cultures....." Really?? How on earth did Harris come up with this conclusion??? How could he possibly frame Islam within three stupid concentric circles ??? Excuse me ,Mr. Harris , but If you think you impressed us with your numbers and percentages about jihadists and British Muslims who want to kill the Danish cartoonist , well , allow me to tell you this is all bullshit..... Just like your vision of Islam.....bullshit and based on personal speculations.... Yes, ISIS exists, jihadists exist, Islamists exist, but these are fanatic individuals that represent only themselves and the countries that recruit and train them.

   As for Harris's ignorant opinion of how women are treated in Islam , no one said it better than Reza Aslan: "The cultural practices of a Saudi Muslim, when it comes to the role of women in society, are largely irrelevant to a Muslim in a more secular society like Turkey or Indonesia" or many other different countries.

    Finally, Harris accuses Islam of holding troubling views about homosexuality. Seriously???? Listen, Harris, if you are gay and you've been turned down by a Muslim hunk , don't generalize by stating that Muslims are intolerant......  You just need to accept the fact that nobody likes you, neither women nor men, especially Ben Affleck..you don't have to be a cry baby about it and mention it in your blog: "Although I was aware that I wasn’t getting much love from Affleck..."

 So, does this mean that Christianity and Judaism encourage homosexuality and thus, don't hold troubling views?Homosexuality is a sin in all religions. It is individuals who choose to accept gays. Religions don't. Be it a hormonal, a genetic ,a psychological , or a social disorder, it's a No Go for any religion.

   The billion people whom Affleck says "are not fanatical, who want go to school, eat their sandwiches and pray 5 times a day" are actually sick & tired of people like Maher and Harris who are totally ignorant yet use the media, the perfect platform, to convey irrational personal views and ,sadly enough,convince the uneducated and unknowledgeable audience of such sick views. The whole world now knows that all this violence, hatred and terrorism have nothing to do with Islam, Christianity, Judaism, or any other religion. It's all about POLITICS and POWER. It's the PP era.
