It's critically important that what you want to be true does not influence your beliefs about what is actually true. I found this happening to myself in this sobering conversation. I don't want to believe much of what philosopher Benedict Beckeld says about a majority of Muslims or his claim that we should abandon the term "Islamism."

We discuss the West, Islam, Jews, and more in this fascinating conversation.
