" "The dogma of multiculturalism has left a secular Europe very slow to address the looming problem of religious extremism among its immigrants.

Additional quotes by Sam Harris
Some people believe that mirror neurons are also central to our ability to empathize with others and may even account for the emergence of gestural communication and spoken language. What we do know is that certain neurons increase their firing rate when we perform object-oriented actions with our hands (grasping, manipulating) and communicative or ingestive actions with our mouths. These neurons also fire, albeit less rapidly, whenever we witness the same actions performed by other people.
