A Simple Rule

[abaris]

The problem is that the only people with a minimum of political credibility arguing against Islam are the nationalists, the same who probably support kicking out all immigrants, banning blacks and want to favour Catholicism over anything else. This is why I don't manifest my agreement towards Christians that criticize Islam, since they are doing it for the wrong reasons.

And there you have it. The problem doesn't lie with critizising Islam. It deserves to be critizised. The problem lies with painting all muslims with the same brush, which ultimately leads to the above people being the most vocal about it. And it's also not done with any other denomination.

Here's a little experiment. Whenever someone feels like saying muslims this and muslims that, just replace muslim with jew for a moment and try that shoe for size.
