It's truly amazing. You point out to people some of the very noxious ideas perpetuated in the Qur'an and the hadith and they reply, "But you're generalizing about all Muslims."
Bitch please. The only Muslims I'm generalizing about are adherents and supporters of homophobic, sexist, and violent ideas as explicitly contained in the texts of the Prophet--considered divine and infallible, and as such, the foundation and pinnacle of a rational ethic. Even if these people are not themselves dangerous, they're providing the wellspring for such ideologies to arise.
If you're a Muslim who can admit that some of your religion's holy texts are vile and should be viewed as restricted to the 7th-century, where such barbarism should have remained, all the power to you.
