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.
