Politics - 3 September 2006

I am speaking of people who say that it is wrong to say bad things about an entire religion. I ask: Why? This is especially in regards to criticism of Islam, because it is all too trendy to criticize Christianity. Doing so is a way to prove you are a member of the "in" crowd. Often though, the same people wil pounce on you if you dare question the the revealed truth that Islam is a religion of peace. Or if you even dare question some of the absurd things about it, like Mohammed talking as soon as he is born, and cutting his own umbilical cord, or ascending to heaven on a winged horse.

Religion is not like a birth defect, or skin color. It is not a congenital fact of life. Religion is a choice. Even if a person is born into it, they have a choice later. Accept it or accept reason. For a person to choose to be a Muslim, to me, is as laughable as someone who chooses to be a believer in a flat earth.

So why am I told that it is wrong to criticize that religion?
