this is nearly ten years old. just found it on my hard drive. the author, Meera Nanda, is one of the smartest women I know... >> Harris has made a name for himself as an uncompromising and fearless champion of reason. His _The End of Faith_ has made it to the New York Times best-seller list, and he is being feted by secularist organizations and thinkers in America and around the world. I am sure that Hindu nationalists in India, who have long condemned Semitic monotheisms (their preferred label for Islam and Christianity) as irrational and superstitions as compared to Hinduisms rational mysticism, will find much to celebrate in Harris as well. Be that as it may, if being a rationalist has come down to declaring a war against those who we deem beyond the pale of reason in the name of higher truths of mystics, then at least this rationalist wants no part of it.
