Interesting how so easily you confuse an ideology, which one can control, with ethnicities, which one can't. It illustrates the mass confusion on what "bigotry" means.
The SPLC is idiotic when it puts Ayaan and Maajid into their watchlist. These are two people actively trying to show how deeply flawed an
ideology is in order to convince the believers to give up said
ideology. If you are confusing an
ideology with a
skin color then you're using the same logic as those those who claimed Obama was Islamic due to his race. Ayaan personally suffered deeply under this ideology i.e. female genital mutilation, arranged marriage. If you had your genitals cut up, and you know it happens to girls regularly due to an ideology, you'd be just as forceful in your language. All of this ignores the fact that Maajid and Ayaan require constant security detail so they don't get
murdered by the followers of the ideology they criticize.
For those asking who the best anti-Islamism speaker is who doesn't have the taint of "bigotry," I suggest you check out Sarah Haider. She's an ex-Muslim that started a organization for Muslims that want to leave their faith (
www.exmna.com). Harris had her on his podcast and she did a good amount of pushback to his weaker claims (which many of you would probably view as the bigoted claims).
For those who want to throw Harris et al. under the bus as bigots, I encourage you to give this podcast a listen and tell me what you think of Sarah Haider. I think she does a much better job than Harris and the rest in making an rational, compassionate case to push back against Islamism.
