Time for atheists to take a hard look at ourselves

137. It depends how one criticizes Islam

There is nothing wrong with criticizing particular religious beliefs, as long as you are consistent and criticize all people for the same thing. I also think religion is objectively wrong and many religious beliefs are harmful.

Islamophobes believe Muslims are particularly evil and they condemn all Muslims for the sins of the individual. Under those standards nobody in this world looks good.

Also, Islamophobes aren't consistent and they often lack self-awareness. They often promote war against Muslims while complaining about the alleged Muslim propensity towards violence. This is Western imperial privilege. We can start unprovoked wars against them, killing tens of thousands of innocent Muslims with public support. But when some Muslims commit some violence, it is they that are collectively guilty.
