It's unbelievable the way that journalists fall all over themselves to make excuses for the barbarity of Islam. Not one has read the Quran.
Have you read the quran? Do you feel you are able to distinguish what it says?
Yes criticise Islam. It is not okay to have a religion that told followers to kill people who leave their religion or anyone who disagrees with them.
It is unfair to group and entire religion into believing the same things. There are millions of peaceful muslims who have never hurt anyone. Do you think you might feel differently if you were born into islam?
