There’s an interesting interview with political scientist Mitchell Cohen in the leftist magazine Dissent.

One of Cohen’s virtues is that he refrains from discussing the “New Atheists” in terms of the media stereotype of the angry atheist. He also displays a critical attitude toward political Islam that is refreshing in leftish circles. Heh, he even slams the cheap anti-Darwinism that some leftists indulge in.

Being leftwardly inclined myself, I figure I should applaud such outbreaks of sanity.
