But for sake of debate, I’ll agree with you. Suppose criticism of Islam as being abused by violent radicals is the entire cause of our bad Iran policy. What are you suggesting? That we ban discussions of facts? That we shame people for comparing religions in a way that brings negative light on Islam?

There are numerous Muslims, many lapsed I assume (as most sane people give up religion of all kinds) who acknowledge there’s a crisis ongoing in which Islam is being co-opted, uniquely, by lunatics as cover for violent ends.

You’re getting very close to policing what facts are and aren’t appropriate for discussion. You can do that with opinion, but with facts, you cannot. Facts simply are, and they don’t go away because someone doesn’t like them.

I like to talk to people with more knowledge than is on a cue card about facts. It's time to leave you and your buddies on the reddit threads to talk about the islamaphobic bros.
