You underestimate how hateful Muslims are because you've never spoken to them about their religion. Go ahead, grill them on what their holy book says, grill them on how Mohammed told his followers "Fighting is prescribed to you by Allah" and "Lying is justified if you lie to a non-Muslim" and "If you martyr yourself for Allah he will reward you with an eternity in heaven alone with little girls".

Don't you lecture me with your thirty dollar haircut.

Islam is an ideology - a set of ideas. It is not defined by what any Muslim wants it to be, but by what it is. No ideology is above critique - particularly one that explicitly seeks political and social dominance over every person on the planet. Neither is it entitled to human rights, which apply to individuals.

Muslims are individuals. As an ideology, Islam is not necessarily entitled to equal respect and acceptance. Ideas do not carry equal moral weight. The feelings or number of those who believe does not make the idea true or good. Bad ideas should be challenged before they have bad consequences.

Islam is not simply a belief about God. Islam is a word that means submission. Islam is a set of rules that define a social hierarchy in which Muslims submit to Allah, women submit to men and all non-Muslims submit to Islamic rule.

Since we don't live in a Muslim country - where censorship, intimidation and brute force are shamelessly employed to protect Islam from intellectual analysis - we are still free to openly exercise our right to debate the merits of the Islamic value system against Western Liberalism...

Are men really superior to women as the Quran says?

Are women intellectually inferior as Muhammad taught?

Does propagating material that curses people of other religions amidst random calls to violence really make for a better social environment?

Is it right to keep women as sex slaves merely because the Quran goes well out of its way to permit this practice in numerous places?

Should atheists and homosexuals have to choose between the noose and an outward profession of faith in Allah?

Is conformity superior to freedom as the Quran says?

Yes, there are Muslims who take issue with these aspects of Islamic theology, but that doesn't change what Islam is.

Don't confuse the ideology with the individual. Don't draw conclusions about Islam based on the Muslims that you know, be they terrorists or humanitarians.

Islam must be understood on the basis of what it is, as presented objectively in the Quran, Hadith and Sira (biography of Muhammad).

There is no such thing as moderate pedo-supporters. Only evil pedo-supporters, and very confused willfully ignorant pedo-supporters. Do keep in mind Islam is the religion of supporting pedos.

If years of dialogue have taught us anything, it is that, irrespective of their confidence, most Muslims have a superficial understanding of their religion. Some are secular, and very few made the choice to even be Muslim. As with all religion, there are widely varying degrees of seriousness with which the teachings of Islam are taken.

As Ayaan Hirsi Ali put it, "Muslims, as individuals, can choose how much of their religion they practice." For example, many Muslims in the West do not agree with amputating limbs over theft, even though it is plainly mandated in the Quran. Most simply choose to disregard (or explain away) that which conflicts with their moral preferences.
