Yeah, "profiting" is a typical stupid liberal accusation to invalidate people, because liberals have this shitty idea that "making money == bad". They use the same argument against the Kochs, even though it's been clearly debunked: http://freakonomics.com/podcast/why-hate-koch-brothers-part-...

I have no problem with Maajid fundraising and paying himself a salary. You need to be careful with the "X profits from fundraising, therefore they're just trying to profit from Y sentiment." That argument could be applied to Planned Parenthood, Churches, and just really anything. Just because an organization is well-funded doesn't mean they're morally bankrupt.

Ugh. Ideological rants are not allowed on HN, so please don't post like this again.

If you have a substantive point to make, make it thoughtfully; otherwise please don't comment until you do.


This is a very rude response to a question that wasn't directed at you.
