    The pushback you and everyone else who refuses to give this any thought is related to the fact that you can't wrap your head around any granularity beyond "islam is islam" as if "christianity is christianity".

And we keep being ignored when we say the problem is not with Islam but Radical Islam. Not with Christianity but with Radical Christianity. Harris has been trying to show people this distinction for a while now. I'm not sure how else to say 'I don't view Islam or any religion as a monolith.'
