Not Everyone Who Criticises Islam Is Islamophobic

[guillaumeb]

42. What I said was:

Some who criticize Islam also criticize every other religion as well. This is intolerance , but consistently intolerant.
Some who criticize Islam because of violence committed in its name excuse the same violence when committed by Christians.

And yes, some people who commit violence do so for self-proclaimed religious reasons.
And some people who commit violence do so fro self-proclaimed patriotic reasons.

To the victims of violence, no matter the motivation, there is no difference because they are dead.

When I said "intolerant", what is meant is that those who criticize all religion are, in my personal view, intolerant of the concept of belief.

If one criticizes the Catholic Church for covering up for pedophile priests I will agree and join on that.

If one criticizes Kim Davis for allowing her personal religious beliefs to interfere with her job I will agree.

If one criticizes pastors who preach politics from the pulpit I will agree.

But if one criticizes people for the specific act of having faith I will call that intolerance.

Clear?
