Here is a sentence that never came out of Ben Shapiro's mouth:

*"What kind of Judaism are we talking about?"*

[spry]

He legit just threw in the word "communism" so all the conservatives will be going "Mhm, yeah."

[thomasfromdenmark]

All Shapiro can do is try to avoid the question. Throwing in Communism was something of a Hail Mary that obviously fell short.

- Do you prefer chocolate or strawberry ice cream?

- are we talking dark chocolate ice cream or just plain one? Are we talking about wild strawberries flavour or just strawberry flavour?

What a convoluted way of evading a question

[aengusk]

how can anyone take Shapiro seriously after "debates" like this? he's literally doing anything he can to avoid answering a simple question.

[dubwubwubstek]

Where the hell did "communist" come from? Atheism is basically apolitical. Ex. a person can acquire bigoted views against minorities from overblown medical arguements and pseudoscience

THE WAY ALEX SMIRKS WHEN BEN ASKS “WHICH FORM OF ISLAM WHICH FORM OF ATHEISM” IM DEAD 💀

[wazulpoosh]

Radical islam? Moderate/liberal islam? What? These are self-contradicting terms. Islam is one and everything else is nothing but a deviation.

This is exactly what the jews do when they are asked about something.
As Muslim I am stunned that Quran described their bahaviour as shown by Shepiro.The Story about this one is mention as 'When they told to Sacrifice a Cow'.Instead of Sacrificing a Cow the Jews started asking what type it would what will the Color etc etc.But at End they Sacrificed the Cow but paid a large amount of gold to get that specific type of Cow.
The Solution was very Easy i.e Sacrifice a Cow not The Cow.

[edroy]

Might as well have just ran away from the question

[AdeelSiddiqie]

gaslighting at its finest. He is still implying there are problems with islam itself on some level. He should be honest and accept that the same or worse problems exist within his own strand or tradition of Judaism. Especially if his brand champions what is happening in Gaza.

[nicholeweltanschauung]

Shapiro is awful, but at least in this interview with Alex, Ben can't mask his awfulness. It's much easier to see because Alex is a well prepared, educated guy who actually spends time learning about the topics he discusses.

[andrewpierre]

There goes Ben Shapiro talking about his feelings again...

[angryretailbanker]

Jesus, Ben is desperate to avoid answering this question.

[glasgowblackchigowski]

he literally dodges the question everytime but still his last answer is just atheism because a "liberal islam" is like a "married bachelor" or a "wise idiot", it's a contradiction in terms for Islam to be a liberal religion, it has never historically been such nor traditionally as such and people who loosely say they're muslims but are liberal in their mindset are just as true to Islam as Shapiro is to Judaism.

[SeanConnoley]

Dude just called all atheists communists 🤣🤣

[el-sayedmustafa]

FYI for the comments, Any practicing jew will tell you, he'd prefer someone who practices monotheism, hands down. But ben's masters will get mad if he picked Islam.

[Hybridlife]

Serious Shapiro L here, quite sad to see

[Moshmn]

Just ask, "Sam Harris, " or "Muhammed" as your child's inspiration. Ben's brain just might throw a blue-screen.

[zzzzzz]

What denominations of atheism are there, communist.... British... what
