Why do Atheists defend Islam?

[Mister Agenda]

You are aware, how many shades and colors Islam actually has? There is no islamic ideology, there are only more or less literal interpretations being at odds with each other. Right now, most of the more violent movements are Sunni, but that doesn't mean that Sunni is inherently more violent. Sunni, again, breaks down into many aspects, depending on region and culture.

That's the problem with blankets. They just don't fit.

Right. There I am being politically incorrect again. So, Islam does not need a reform. Everything is just fine and dandy as it is, no calls to change needed. 

Reform does not come from without. If anything, outside criticism makes people dig in harder to the views they already hold.
