Criticizing Islam is racist?

[abaris]

Apparently you haven't been raised in a religion, and don't understand how hard it is to break the programming one receives in one's youth.

And most of all that there are societies where you are shunned, banished or punished if you break away from religion. One of the prime examples being our very best friend Saudi Arabia.

But it doesn't stop there. Even in Western societies you can lose friends and family, if you happen to be brought up as an Ultra Orthodox jew, Mormon or any other of the more fundamentalist christian sects.
