But most people -- even some atheists -- are convinced that it is wrong to criticize beliefs. This is intolerant, ignorant or simply wrong. To these people, most belief systems are worthy of respect, with exceptions of course to Nazisim, etc. (Esentially, the really bad ones.) But since Islam is a religion, and religions are special, then I can't be a mean, grumpy atheist and tell someone that their holy man was a pedophile.
absolute bullshit. i critisize christianity all the time. i critisize islam all the time. i debated religion (not just islam) with a mullah in jordan. i had been playing soccoer with like 10 kids and their friend who was studying to be a mullah walked up. we start talking. he asks me if im a muslim. nope, im an atheist.

the debate ensues and im subject to some pretty ridiculous arab platitudes like "if you see a camels shit, you know theres a camel".

but ill throw out the islamaphobe card, becuase some people are just scared shitless of muslims. <edit>

My balls are of average size, though I can't image why you would be interested.

As far as being a "coward" is concerned, well... I don't know what to say to that except point it out as hysterics common to these types of debate. I've never once crossed the street because I saw a muslim coming my way. Does that satisfy your emotional name calling?

this is an example of people assuming shit based on no real world experience. its true, if you never been there you can only go off what you read. but that is why its so important to expose the bullshit (dare i say it, islamaphobia) when you see it.
Yes, because in American states, there are areas where the law is to kill you. Get real.
