A perfect example of right wing nuts living inside their bubble and discounting facts that don't fit their beliefs

I've met literally hundreds of Muslims, and none of them talk about "taqiya." Like ever. The only time they bring it up is how right-wing idiots think they're doing it left and right, which is preposterous that ~8 million American Muslims would pull that off, not to mention the 1.8 billion outside America.

Playing the Taqiyya Card: Evading Intelligent Debate by Calling all Muslims Liars

PDF Trust is a basic element for human beings to live together amicably in a multicultural society. It is unsurprising then that propaganda that has driven societies towards genocide often focuses on depicting a minority group as inherently dishonest and dangerous. For instance, preceding the Rwandan genocide, the Hutus were told by political figures that …

Sorry, read the Koran its full of the life plan, I have been in most of the Middle eat countries and I saw first hand what happens. Blowing smoke up my ass won't work I know better. Keep playing the Liberal card as well. Must suck to be so full of butt hurt after 8 Nov.

The only time I voted was in 2012 and I voted Republican.
I'm not a liberal.
The MENA region has a long, complex history. Swearing and calling people butt hurt libtards is definitely not the rhetoric of someone free of massive cognitive dissonance.
I recommend starting with this book: https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Islamic-History-Reclaiming-Civilisation/dp/ [login to see] /ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid= [login to see] &sr=8-1&keywords=lost+islamic+history

This is also a great article on the ME, written by RFK Jr.: http://www.ecowatch.com/syria-another-pipeline-war [login to see] .html

SPC Greg Carr - as I said don't blow smoke up my ass with the touchy feely BS. Butt hurt Liberal when true is descriptive of the easily offended wuss that we have today.

Clickbait title?

Check.

Cherrypicked information presented in a Buzzfeed style for the sake of clearly promoting a single argument stance?

Check.

Using HuffPo as a source? Oof.

For a site called "scholarly", this is certainly very un-scholarly. Not without merit, just...very one-sided.

Okay, what's missing? He used Pew Research, Gallup Polls, UN data, and academic studies.

Maybe what's missing is America's history of toppling Middle East democracies and installing dictators? http://www.ecowatch.com/syria-another-pipeline-war [login to see] .html

Syria: Another Pipeline War

The fossil fuel industry's business model is to externalize its costs by clawing in obscene subsidies and tax deductions—causing grave environmental costs, including toxic pollution and global warming. Among the other unassessed prices of the world's addiction to oil are social chaos, war, terror, t...

He selectively used Pew and Gallup, not citing the full research - I'm familiar with several of them, and they're actually self contradicting in their entirety.

You can't blast Maher for cherry picking and then do the exact same thing... Which is what this author did.

... As for toppling dictators, that is irrelevant to the OP.
