Criticising Islam, the Quran or the Prophet is not hate speech. All it's showing you is how pathetic, overly sensitive and childish you are. It's the 21st century. People don't need to respect religion if they don't want to. If you can't deal, tough.

Salman Rushdie, the Innocence of Muslims film, Charlie Hebdo, the beheading; there is an obvious streak of intolerance within modern Islam that can't just be reduced to extremism. We're talking about millions here.

There are plenty of countries where mockery of Islam results in murder. Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran, Afghanistan; all these societies have witnessed shocking atrocities of secular voices.

This intolerance isn't confined to Muslims; it exists in India with a lot of Hindus, in Myanmar with a lot of Buddhists. Religion breeds contempt for dissent and rationality. It fears it.
