>Sam Harris >independent media >https://samharris.org/ https://samharris.org/ Of course an Islamophobe like Sam Harris was happy with the invasion of Afghanistan and got VERY upset when the US left. Not only does he want the murdering of Afghan Muslims to persist, but he also has no issue with a group of rapists and murderers ruling the country and wrecking havoc while militant atheists like himself maintain their interests in the region. Blood is not only on the mercenaries' hands who participated in the war, but also on people like Sam Harris who strongly propagate for it and try to shift public opinion and the political climate to return to war. How many innocent men, women and children must suffer to make people like Sam Harris happy? Likely no limit. >To me it is unconscionable that dissent can be punished and deterred in this manner, especially in America. The optics of it are damning and moreover it is actually unethical. It's ironic that someone who wants more Afghan Muslims to die is lecturing people about what's unethical.

  >I've never seen anyone impugn motive so recklessly. It's hard to see it any other way, because that's essentially what the US and its allies have been doing. You could say another alternative would be that he sees the killing of Afghan Muslims as an unfortunate consequence of spreading secular democracy, but still necessary. But that doesn't make any sense, it's clear that the Afghans don't want secularism, so what should the US do? Wipe out every element that is anti-secular? Maybe by keep bombing children in Quran schools, like the US and its allies have done in the past? That's equally inconsiderate of Muslim Afghans lives, is it not?
