Is that what they say? You sure you're not committing a strawman here?
"Not all Muslims," as I said earlier, is an irrelevant statement. There are enough Muslims that do this to be a problem. 80,000,000 women get their clitoris mutilated. Saudi Arabia, some Islamic militias, and other Muslim countries will stone women to death if they're raped, for committing adultery. And 80% of Muslims in the UK, yea you read that right, 80% of Muslims in the UK want drawing a picture of Muhammad to be illegal.
No I'm not committing a strawman, I've heard many people say that. The most famous one to say it is Anita Sarkeesian.
Don't you agree that we should defend those who DON'T though?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
