He was what we community college types call a “non-traditional student,” an older, grizzled, white-bearded Vietnam veteran in a wheelchair (I later learned his amputations came after a round of neglected diabetes, not enemy bombs).

…Muslims as individuals, but as monolithic… Not only did Harris write his latest book with someone who identifies as a Muslim, he’s actively praised Muslim reformers like Malala Yousafzai, and supported the work of moderate Muslims who want to reform the extremist views within the faith.

Which makes sense. Large organizations express their identity differently in different places. No matter how hard you try (or don’t try) to enforce a top-down organizational culture, groups are affected by the cultures of the people within them. LifeSiteNews, howe…
