I can't imagine anyone on this board disagreeing with Harris' opinion. Hell, I've been telling people the same thing (in fewer words) for quite a while. As Ustwo said, this is not new.
The thing that bothers people like Host and everyone else who thinks more people need to speak out about the taboo of such speaking out is that it is a very slow journey. While everyone might laugh when South Park or any other comedians make fun of religious radicals, and they might criticize the stranglehold Muslims seem to have on the media, not many of them will openly, publicly say anything. However, the numbers are growing, albeit slowly, and I can see a large backlash to religious terrorism taking place within a decade, though it's not exactly a measured science.
