(2,969 posts)He notes the statistical fact about attitudes toward murdering apostates in the Muslim world, and he notes that there is no symmetrical attitude of violence among other religions on a similar scale. For that you call a courageous truth-teller "bigot" simply because the truth he tells if different from a world you'd be comfrotable with. You need to do some major soul-searching, and some growing up.
The troubles of the Islamic world are...the troubles of the Islamic world, they are not a reflection of bad faith on the part of others who dare to speak of them. That's ass-backwards, Orwellian unlogic.
Speaking a fact you don't like is not a violation. You need to ask yourself why you desperately need it to be treated as such, and why you value the superficial amity between groups more than dealing the truth of the violent horrors that exists because of the state of Islam.
The thousands of people who are oppressed by blasphemy laws, and apostasy laws, and misogynistic laws imposed solely because of Islam would not be freed by your shouting down Westerners who complain about them. You value superficial appearances of social amity more than you value fundamental human rights.
