Sam Harris: Silence Is Not Moderation

Amy Alkon referred me to this article by Sam Harris.

Here's the comment I left on Alkon's blog:

There is at least one outspoken Muslim in America who "gets" it. His name is Dr. Zuhdi Jasser and here's his website. He appears quite frequently on Dennis Miller's radio program and stated the other day that he has never received any threats for speaking out as he does.


The biggest question of all is why the Mainstream Media - ABC / NBC / CBS / PBS / CNN / MSNBC / NPR - refuses to ever interview him. The reason is simple: His views do not fit into their narrative which, simply put, is: White, Christian Americans are bad are Brown skinned Muslims are all victims.


If this wasn't such a serious subject the modus operandi of these networks would be laughable.
