David Berlinski's article on atheists manipulating the sciences is both deceptive and illogical. Here's an attempt to set the record straight.
Round One was John Derbyshire's review of Robert Spencer's %%AMAZON=1596985151 Religion of Peace?-Why Christianity Is and Islam Isn't%%. Round Two was Robert Spencer's response. Today, John Derbyshire replies.
Is Robert Spencer's new book %%AMAZON=1596985151 Religion of Peace?-Why Christianity Is and Islam Isn't%% just another addition to the "burgeoning literature of Islamophobia"? That's the opinion of John Derbyshire, who contends that Spencer's own Christianity is to blame for the book being "a bit infantile." Asks Derbyshire: "If Christianity is a religion of peace, while Islam is irredeemably militant, what on earth does Spencer think is likely to be the outcome of a conflict between the two?" (Robert Spencer has notified PJM that he will write a response to Derbyshire's review.)
