Neurosurgeon Sam Harris is a social critic and eloquent master of words and he met his match of an individual who can about match wits and words in the incredible communist Russel Brand who is a modern day Che Guerrero. Russel Brand hosts an award winning podcast called Under The Skin where he likes to get under the skin of his guests and at times in this interview he and Mr Harris went at it in a back and forth that resembled a school ground argument.
Russel Brand and Sam argued vehemently of the dangers of radical Islam as Brand says Mr Harris's assertions and bigotry about women wearing bags in public justifies the meddling into affairs of the Afghanistan as America wishes to push capitalism and expansion of small business Banana stands in this country. Brand equated a consumer lifestyle as just as agenda driven as the sharia ultra-religious order Sam Harris believes much of the worlds Muslims reside their minds too and Brand and Harris almost came to blows several times in their debate.
Brand told Harris to quit referring to Muslim women living under bags as he found it insensitive and Brand questioned how Harris as a Western intellect can judge and decide how people half-way around the world should live their lives. As to this Sam Harris reminded brand Muslims are coming to the West and demanding their lifestyles are accepted by liberal governments as Muslim money and allwance of big contracts for Western firms seems to be able to dictate much sway of which Harris doesn't like. Sam never has been interviewed by a jack Russel like Brand and seemed frustrated though much of this debate and Brand mocked his assertion that a student exchange program with the Taliban would see Western girls live a life of misery under towels for three weeks.
Harris reminded Brand of the number of terrorist acts committed by Muslims where as Brand answered these attacks are usually a response to desperate people and Russel Brand mentioned the legacy of colonialism still affecting these regions of the world and causing much of the chaos sen to this day. Russel also asked Harris why he doesn't equate the Iraqi war and the Western world's desire to convert luxury mall development globally as comparable to the sharia he is as concerned about. the socialist Brand says in effect colonialism has never ended in fact being rampped up big time in the past two decades especially in the Islamic regions
