This just in: "Ultimate commitments affect life!"

Many, including Rush Limbaugh, have noted the Sam Harris's concession here that fellow libs have their head in the sand with respect to the threat of militant Islam. Okaaaay.... Then this:
The truth is that there is every reason to believe that a terrifying number of the world's Muslims now view all political and moral questions in terms of their affiliation with Islam.
Think of it. Religion actually affecting how people view their live. Let's forget that (thoughtful) philosophical liberals view all political and moral questions in terms of their liberal commitments. The question is, can we find a way to live together peaceably? With respect to those times and places in which Muslims have political power, we're still looking for a clear answer.
