Criticizing religion - or even mocking it has always been taboo; however I think that mocking the likes of Islam will warrant much more outrage than if I did Christianity --- with accusations of ''Islamophobia'' etc.
Does political correctness hurt the cause of opposition to religion?
It works both ways. Political correctness helps because it includes not discriminating against homosexuals and women. A religion like Islam, regardless of what the quran and hadith say or don't say, practices oppression of women and the killing of homosexuals.
Political correctness doesn't help much because some people are just against Islam for reasons of racism, a well informed English Defense League member might have a genuine fear of Islam and know about the quran and the hadith, but the stereotypical English Defense League member doesn't care about Islam, they just hate brown people, in particular pakistanis.
The EDL actually has a lot in common with Islam in that when the cameras are on them they insist they are a peaceful group but when they get together and start marching they cause nothing but violence and hate.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
