…vel headed cost-benefit analysis when it comes to discussing the crimes of Western armies, civilian dead, and where next to bring the civilizational goods of democratic modernity.

But 80 percent of the Arab world today are fighting the same fight that Europe and America are fighting, the common people who just want to live in peace. I c…

Is Sam Harris Really a White Supremacist?

By Andrew Aghapour and Michael Schulson

…rather his fundamental understanding of social groups. From his privileged Western viewpoint, Harris reduces social collectives to essential types. Where white supremacists subscribe to a typology of race, however, Harris assigns people to groups based on their creeds.

America’s power in the world has dramatically declined, and some conservative commentators seem to believe the way to…
