I'm basically an atheist. I have a lot of objections to faiths. But you can't lay what happened in France on a billion people. You can't.

Very interesting! I thought he was a Christian. Guess he abandoned even that much somewhere down the line in the past 5 years. Somebody else rebutted him with the following:
@andykhouri Correct. You can, however, lay it directly at the core of their faith, a murderous doctrine demanding genocide and oppression.

Exactly. The same could be applied to Scientologists, and decidedly, even Satmar adherents. As for Muslims, anybody who adheres to such a sick doctrine cannot be immune to grave disappointment for furthering the use of a bad religion.
It's tempting to think of all this like some kind of math problem and you just subtract religion and everything is resolved. Not reality.

It's a math problem he hasn't done, is all. If he did, he'd have not only read an authentic copy of the Quran by now, he'd publicly post the Suras online and explain why he does or doesn't think they're worth defending. That he hasn't only attests to his cowardice.
Anyone so inclined can use religion as a means for whatever they want, whether it's peace, violence, commerce, control, happiness, anything.

But that's just it. And his general silence on the Quran's verses only confirms he has no interest in protesting.
Boko Haram may have just murdered 2,000 people in Nigeria http://t.co/Vwg4sG7dkS

What they did is absolutely repulsive. But if Khouri cannot come to terms with what drives Boko Haram, then I'm not sure what his point is in saying anything.
Terrorism makes strange bedfellows. When I was an angry teenager I never thought I'd be defending theistic religion, but here I am.

He still is an angry teen. So much he wrote a post where he basically told me he hates me, and, as I'd discovered, he thinks Israel literally stole land! That's exactly what the jihadists want people like him to think.
Now, he's welcome to apologize to me if he wants. But so far, I've seen no signs he wishes to do so. And if not, then I have no choice but to continue scrutinizing his tweets, whether I want to or not.

Making a dumb joke about Romney too, I see. But it all falls flat. Now here's a screenshot he took of somebody who performed a noble act, but which people like Khouri are using to fortify their defense of Islam no matter what its tone and content:
Now of course the guy's help deserves praise. But again, that does not prove he did it because his religion taught him its the right thing to do. It's worth noting that not all black Muslims are considered authentic in contrast to their white counterparts, so should we consider him any different? All it proves is that this man is one of the not too many "moderate" Muslims who's able to recognize what's wrong with Suras like 2:52-65 and refrain from adhering to them.
Also note that he drew from two leftist sources: Haaretz, considered a terrible newspaper in Israel, and Harris-Gershon, an editor for the left-wing Tikkun magazine, the kind of source that would willingly apologize for the kind of evil Islam is built on. You can't expect them to be reporting this altruistically, and they'd probably never cover this news seriously if it weren't for the man's adherence to Islam.
