Sam Harris, a devout liberal (he establishes his liberal credentials by noting that he supports gay marriage, high taxes, abortion, etc.), has an article in the Los Angeles Time that harshly criticizes American liberals for having their “head-in-the-sand.” This could be a “when the pigs fly” type of article. Harris specifically notes:
“Liberalism has grown dangerously out of touch with the realities of our world… A cult of death is forming in the Muslim world…we are absolutely at war with those who believe that death in defense of the faith is the highest possible good… Unless liberals realize that there are tens of millions of people in the Muslim world who are far scarier than Dick Cheney, they will be unable to protect civilization from its genuine enemies… there is no question that the Israelis now hold the moral high ground in their conflict with Hamas and Hezbollah. And yet liberals in the United States and Europe often speak as though the truth were otherwise.”
