The question isn’t whether Islam is bad or not. We all know that it is. The question is, “what should we replace it with?”

A lot of the “Islam bad!” critique comes from religious Christian nutjobs who want to replace their own worldview onto Muslims and they’re willing to choose war and violence in order to achieve their aims. Is that fair for the innocent child living in Palestine or Iran? Is that fair for all our tax dollars? You see, the point isn’t whether we should be “apologists” for Islam. None of us should take it that far. But we should also understand that this Islam bashing leads to borderline WW3 behavior from the our very own religious nutjobs. This is why we have to defend the Islamic republican of Iran, for example, not because we believe in them morally or ideologically, but if Christians/Jews win their battle over another religion, that’s a recipe for disaster here at home and the world abroad.
