Today I've got some more Tommentary for you. Because I'm pretty sure Eli and Cog Dis will all agree with me on the Goldsmiths issue, I decided to tackle a brief portion of commenter Mike Samsa's incredibly long disagreements with me on the treatment of Maryam Namazie. It amazes me that someone could condone how … Continue reading AS197: Goldsmiths Followup; Radicalizing Muslims → The post AS197: Goldsmiths Followup; Radicalizing Muslims appeared first on Atheistically Speaking.

I've got a couple Tommentary items to talk about that I promise aren't trigger warning or safe space related… But then after that I go into the Eli Bosnick adventures both Cog Dis and I have had.
