Religions are not equals

[Thumpalumpacus]

I've got no problem criticizing Islam. But the fact is that there are many, many bigots who will use that critique.

Doesn't mean the religion shouldn't be criticized, but it does mean that when I read or hear a critique of it, I look to ensure that it is well-informed, or if it's just a smoke-screen for the bigotry of the critic.

I think this is a sensible approach that is often ignored.

it is, sometimes. There are indeed knee-jerk respondents.

But there are also people who lay the PC accusation whenever someone points out bigotry.

That sword cuts both ways.
