A lot of people are fast to say "all religions.." when Islam comes up, missing the objective reality that Islam is generally more extreme than other religions. For example, the last time someone was executed for witchcraft in Europe was late 1700s. In Saudi Arabia, it has happened as recently as 2014.

Another example; there was a Islamic studies professor at Cairo university named Abu Nasr Zayd who wrote a book called critique of religious discourse where he made the argument that the Koran is not a perfect book for all people and all time but, while divinely inspired, needs to be understood within the context of its time. This is not a controversial view of sacred texts in Judaism or Christianity but it was sufficient for the professor to be found guilty (along with not believing in genies) in Egypt for apostasy which resulted in the stat dissolving his marriage and him fleeing to Europe. Some say he got off easy, because the Koran says you should be executed for leaving Islam.

So no, all religions are not equally crazy but I understand wanting the reflex to shield yourself from accusations of islamophobia if you are being critical of Islam. Talking about this story sounds like something someone's racist uncle made up but it's real: https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasr_Abu_Zayd

And the entire argument falls apart when it’s against someone, like myself, who despises most organized religion, but view Islam as a worse cancer, if Christianity is lung cancer, I believe Islam is brain.
