What do Ex-Muslims make of Cenk Uygur and TYT?

What do Ex-Muslims make of Cenk Uygur and The Young Turks? As a liberal - I'm quite a big fan of their sociopolitical commentary.

Nonetheless, many secularists feel that Cenk in particular is too soft on Islamism -

I can picture him in a Village People tribute act.

He's an ex-Muslim but I agree, he's too soft on it.

The number of liberals who give Islam(ism) a free ride..

Cenk seems to be more familiar with Islam and Islamism in Turkey than outside, which may explain his views.

Who isn't soft on Islam in the public eye. He's no different than most liberals.
@Skywalker - I agree. I haven't seen much commentary on Islam in his videos, other than Turkish or American Muslims.

There's one on the 'Imam Afleck' controversy where he gors more in depth.
