Are you familiar with Sam Harris? If so, what are your perspectives on his views? Is his characterization of the state of Islam relatively accurate in your estimation? I recently read Reza Aslan's book Zealot and have been reading up on his rivalry with Harris, so I came here to seek some further perspective. Do you find Aslan to be as unbiased and scholarly in his discussions of Christianity and Islam as he says he is? I am hitting you with a lot of questions, but it's a topic of interest to me at the moment.

If you are unfamiliar with Harris, the video here and response from Harris sums up his perspective nicely. http://www.samharris.org/blog/item/can-liberalism-be-saved-from-itself
