Karnal, you appear to be limiting your criticism based on a sense of entitlement born out of familiarity. That is, you will criticise your own culture and the religion you were born into, you will criticise the critics of Islam, but you are not entitled to criticise Islam itself.
Do you see where I am going with this?
I feel entitled to criticize anything I disagree with, FD.
I reserve my observations, however, to things I have some knowledge of.
My observation of Muslims and their religion has been benign. If you want to change my observations and experience, you need to give me something to go on.
Feel free to do so, but expect criticism when you talk sh!t.
If it makes you feel any better, I have criticized Muslim knuckleheads on this board on many occasions. If their critics want a sane world, they should be prepared for exactly the same thing when they use the tactics of the extremist zealot. After all, the tactics only lead to blindness, ignorance, division and hate - all for its own sake, and all ultimately futile. You might recall the invasion of Irsq, the propaganda war that led to it, and the result: ongoing civil war in an important oil producing state - the exact opposite of the intended effect.
