Sometimes when there are so many bad apples you have to look at the tree. Islam is an idea, not a race. We absolutely should be able to criticize ideas.
Enough with this "this is not Islam", "they are not real Muslims" shit.
This is Islam. As extreme a version as it may be, it is Islam.
They are Muslims.
Only when this is finally accepted by Muslims can a solution be reached.
The Jews did it and the Christians did it; it's time for Islam, as a whole, to decide what century it wants to live in.
Enough with countries that have Sharia as the basis for their law. Enough with state sponsored terrorism. Enough with letting millions of undocumented Muslims migrants with highly religious values into secular Europe and then being surprised when this happens. Enough with the apologists that come out and defend these groups by proxy when they label any criticism of Islam as Islamophobia.
Some sobering facts showing how Islamic values are not compatible with western ideas of freedom of expression and non-violent secularism:
- 68% of British Muslims support the arrest and prosecution of anyone who insults Islam
