    The woman asking was a Muslim. All panel was Muslim. The event was organized by a Muslim organization. Can't Muslims be self critical? It is a problem in many Muslim communities

    what do we really learn, for example, when we look at the rich/poor divide on banning high-capacity clips?

    . kind of pointless since virtually none of the issues covered actually improve the position of the rich or the poor to any substantial extent, nor are the poor as such mobilized around ANY of the issues.

    "They found that the rich get what they want from their senators about 60% of the time, whereas the poor receive their desired policy 55% of the time. When these two groups are on opposing sides of an issue, the rich get what they want 63% of the time."

    This is stupid. Saudi Arabia doesn't need anything on POTUS. Most of the DC FoPo. practioners believe no matter how fucked KSA can be, that it's better to have a KSA buying US arms with limits than switching to Russ/Chinese arms with no limits whatsoever on what they target.

    What. Do. They. Have. On. Him???

    "Far-right", "racist", "fascist" PM appoints Pakistani-origin Chancellor of the Exchequer and Indian-origin Home Secretary . Much of the British political liberal-left really needs to behave in a more mature and rational manner.

    An ordinary person, I'm afraid. This horrifying link between the ordinary and the monstrous is much older than us, and it will prevail after we're gone. The extraordinary person here is the Butcher of Damascus. An extraordinary murderer, a genocidal maniac beyond expectations.

    What kind of person can drop a barrel full of TNT--knowing it will fall indiscriminately in residential area--and still sleep at night?…

    this is just pretentious. it banks of an innocuous notion of 'difference'. Christianity recognizes sin and evil. Many impeccably Christian denominations don't recommend meeting them with 'radical love' under any sort of government.

    “In a plural democracy, Christians offer a radical love for the other, a radical hospitality and generosity toward those who are different” -

    wonder how much of the world thinks Iranian retaliation in the Straits exemplifies "acting like an international villain"

    "Washington's campaign of maximum pressure appears to be succeeding in driving Iran's leadership to act like the international deviants the Trump administration has long made them out to be."

    finally no serious assessment of Enlightenment attitudes can ignore the fact that most Enlightenment authors moderated their real view out of very well-founded fear of persecution.

    . the Enlightenment doesn't fit into a comforting fantasy where critique runs the whole way from 'irreligious' to 'genuinely religious' w/o ever getting naughty and valuing above all what is irreligious.

    many Enlightenment thinkers were atheists/agnostics & has no interest in what was 'genuinely religious'. & many would have said that the intolerance was *intrinsic* to 'genuine religions', cf. Hume.

    . if "the Enlightenment" had 'a strategy', it was to defang Christianity through analysis of its texts & sceptical critique of its tenets. It aimed to show relgions to be unfounded, not 'illiberal'. BTW 'liberal' wasn't even a concept in the 18th C.

    "This tendency is heir to the Enlightenment strategy of defanging illiberal religion by claiming that only religions conforming to liberal principles are genuinely religious"
