Radio Freethinker Episode 228 - Debating Islam Edition Don's Rant about how political micro-targeting has turned citizens into a commodity to be bought like we would chips. Politicians are not longer listening to the electorate about what government should be/do but instead are marketing their parties like you would a car. It's telling people to BY Harper (for example) and not 'we hear you and will do you bidding'. Also, How to debate a Muslim and not be a racist. We live in culture that has equate Islam with terrorism...a religious faith with a racist identity. This has happened because popular media promotes this view. We provide a primer on the origins of Islam, its beliefs, it's sects and the rise of the Islamic Empire. We also follow the major arguments for faith and debunk them. Special thanks to Randolf Richardson from Atheist Frontier from joining in on the show.
