Reza Aslan goes on TV and says all the right things that #GoodThink people want to be true. Pakman rips apart some of his most famous claims, such as FMG being a regional issue, not Islamic. He also touches on Reza breeding a culture of political correctness and using it to shut down intellectual debate.

It's a shame he apparently didn't notice that his source for the FGM thing was a report about FGM in Africa. It would be like if you read a report about poverty in America and went on TV saying "poverty is an American problem".

David Pakman is often the voice of reason for today's progressives.

I don't like some of the things he has done, but I think his show is pretty good overall. He and Secular Talk are definitely the most reasonable people under TYT.

Unless I'm mistaken, David Pakman isn't affiliated with TYT.

I just checked. As of December 2014, it seems he is no longer affiliated with them.

My first impression of Reza Aslan was positive. After all, that was the time when he made that appearance on Fox. And then I was told to look what he had to say about atheists. A truly magic experience — in a mere moment I went from "such a respectable scholar" to "fuck this guy". Now I see he's even a bigger piece of shit in general.
