Don't you think it unfair to characterise a group by a couple of unpleasant aspects. We could say the majority disagree with binge drinking and violence outside pubs, to malign the British, or paedophine priests and IRA terror to malign Catholics or the Irish. Obviously I oppose predominantly Muslim paedophile gangs, and cruel slaughter practices, but if you want to characterise all Muslims in that manner, then that is dumb.
If what you are saying is simply that we should openly talk about those things, then yes, I agree. It pees me off when some lefties forbid all discussion of certain subjects.
I agree to some extent WWT BUT...
I disagree with several Roman Candle doctrines. I disagree with several Jewish Orthodox doctrines. If I knew enough about other religions, I may disagree with some of their doctrines. However, that doesn't mean I vilify all RCs or Jews because their religious views do not accord with mine.
The issue here is that, in general, other religious doctrines do not, at their heart, espouse diktats against basic human values in modern-day terms. Whilst there are, undoubtedly, very reasonable aspects to Islam, it has, at its very heart, teachings which are anathema to any right-thinking individual.
The key difference between Islam and the other religions of the world is that it exclusionary in ALL respects in relation to those who do not believe. Unlike other religions, it's raison d'etre is not designed to sit nicely alongside other religions.
I do not hate any one person for holding a religious belief but I do have very serious misgivings about any view (religious or otherwise) which screams intolerance at me.
My issues are with the religion and not the individual.
