Muslims have gone too far

[Riot]

What I am saying is that there are plenty of people out there that have concerns about Islam and rightfully so. I certainly have concerns about it and I am critical of the religion at times.

Isn't your concern about this religion rather based in your justified concern for terrorism, that terrorism being presented within the context of something unfamiliar and unknown to you?

Did the horror perpetrated by Timothy McVeigh make you reassess Christianity? To look more closely at it's teachings? How many Christians who kill strangers coldly in the name of their god would it take to scare you? 15% or so? C'mon It's not a number, it's the unfamiliarity.

People like you who are so politically correct, don't think that it's ever proper to question or be critical of a group or religion. You think that any type of criticism equals hate. That is absurd.

Well, the above isn't at all what I have posted about on this board in the least regarding this subject, let alone to close to what I think.

First, "political correctness" has nothing to do with how I think about this. I haven't said one word about being critical of a group or religion. In fact, I support that. Have it it. Be as critical or questioning as you want. I believe one should deeply and seriously question any and all religious beliefs. No, criticism of a religion that does not equal hate in my view at all - it equates to reasoned examination if done objectively.

Objectively.

What I believe - and what I have actually posted - is that I find it reprehensibly immoral and wrong, on a deeply basic human level, to characterize millions of people based upon the acts of a few. To take one common denominator and broadly discredit entire populations.

People hate what they fear.
