is this political correctness gone mad?

Question

while anything and anyone else can be criticised, today it is considered wrong to criticise or question islam or muslims.
why so may i ask?

Answer 1

I like to joke around on this site. I know what you mean. I don't answer questions from Muslims anymore, because I always get reported. I have nothing against them, that just always happens.

I don't care for being politically correct. I can take a joke. If I call a person of African decent black, I mean nothing by it. It is a violation of your right to free speech when someone tries to make you speak the way they would like.

Answer 2

Because nobody wants to offend them or descriminate against them because of what the terrorists are doing. This seems a little @$$ backwards to me. Americans should be skeptical, not only because of what they did, but also because of all the threats that they make towards us now. Who are the people bombing others all over the world? The Muslims. So why should we not be afraid? I say offend away. They do it to others all the time by forcing us to make special rules about where they get to pray and all that. Do you think as a Christian I would get special treatment to pray? Hell no! They need to get over it and people need to stop catering to their every whim!

Answer 3

YES! Political correctness has made people afraid to say what is on their minds in fear of being hung out to dry. It is a relatively new idea so that means people have gone without it for thousands of years without little or no impact.

Answer 4

its wrong? seriously look at the news. its encouraged too. There are hundred of websites criticizing Islam. Muslims don't want to be cursed at and they speak against that but do u see the hundred websites off? No. Get your facts straight. I don't know which country you come from, but here in America I've heard millions of criticism so I don't know what you are talking about.

Answer 5

Because they don't understand the purpose of a democracy and freedom of speech. So they automatically turn to violence as an expression of disapproval. It's like a toddler throwing a tantrum and the parents give the toddler what they want so they can stop.

Answer 6

Because it is wrong to "criticize" any group on account of their religion. That's not "political correctness;" freedom of religion is basic to our culture. Only bigots think otherwise. And their objection is that they are being challenged for their filthy attitudes--they want to get away with stereotyping and bilittling others without taking the consequences.

Answer 7

The fear comes from the few who tend to kill those who criticize Arabs or islam. Ask the Danish filmmaker who was killed over a 20 minute film decrying Arab violence to women.

Answer 8

I dot consider it wrong, in fact i encourage people to question.

Only by asking questions can we find answers.

The right or wrong of it is irrelevant as this changes between perceptions.

Answer 9

Really? I wish more people knew that. I get so tired of tasteless anti-Islam jokes circulated about the workplace. If someone circulated even one anti-black or anti-Jew joke, they would be fired on the spot.

Answer 10

There are crazier things than that associated with political correctness. I don't bother with it, myself.....it's a bunch of junk! The tail wags the dog, nowadays!!
