Sure. Austere Religious Scholarship starts harmlessly enough filming ISIS beheading videos, actual sexual slavery and literally throwing homosexuals off roofs, but sooner or later you find @SamHarrisOrg @Quillette and you realize it *was* a gateway to the Intellectual Dark Web.
Look, there is ISIS and “team civilization” with all our warts

I never knew why the legacy media viewed our honestly discussing religiously motivated terror killings as if such a simple recognition of motive where “phobic” rather than rational. Now I am beginning to understand.
I’m unabashedly on team civilization. Al-Baghdadi was on the other team. The bad guys.

The fact that we‘re not *simple* good guys as we claim doesn’t mean we‘re ISIS. We‘re team civilization and we know that because we examine our own flaws & *crimes*. We‘re still the good guys.
A bad bad bad human died on the other team. The anti-civilization team. The bad team. Team Evil.

Good for us. If that’s “Islamophobic” to you, you need to watch the videos I have as they scared my mind forever. I‘ve now seen pure evil. There is no excusing ISIS as austere piety.
