For those "Kafirs" attacking those who dare to speak out about the actions of Muslims, let me remind you that the Qur'an teaches that all who don't follow the faith deserve eternal torture in Hell, and that is totally right and just.
"Those who disbelieve Our revelations, We shall expose them to the Fire. As often as their skins are consumed We shall exchange them for fresh skins that they may taste the torment." - Surah 4:56
Unlike Christianity, even moderate Muslims cling to the above. Homosexuality is also strongly condemned. Modern science is rejected (such as evolution) even among moderate Muslims, again unlike Christianity. The Qur'an also contains many passages inciting violence against non-believers. Such should sent liberals' alarm bells ringing.
For a liberal to "white knight" Muslims by attacking anyone who dares to speak out against their bigotry, does seem enormously hypocritical. Why not defend (moderate) neo-Nazis and the KKK too, if you're going to be consistent, and accuse those who disagree of Naziphobia (on the same level as Islamophobia), throwing in a few "rolls eyes" emoticons to boot to gain rhetorical flair? The latter groups are far more persecuted than Muslims in the liberal world, and it's debatable if their ideology is any more hateful, to look at the facts.
It seems that where "faith" is concerned though, people make a special exemption for bigotry and hate. Fear of offending people tends to silence honest debate.
Sure, I've met some nice Muslims. I've met some neo-Nazis too who don't seem like totally evil people. That doesn't mean I refuse to take a stand against such ideologies. Abrahamic desert creeds in their medieval manifestations go against all I stand for.
White knighting those militantly opposed to enlightened liberal values in the name of enlightened liberal values is indeed political correctness gone mad. It's also horrendously misguided, in my view.
If Muslims want to co-exist with modern societies, then so must free speech against Islam as an ideology without threat of retaliation, including satire and ridicule of their beliefs (but not incitement of violence against Muslims). Muslims who don't want to hear their faith critiqued can move to Saudi Arabia. Those who want to live and worship in e.g. Britain can do so, provided they don't get to silence free speech or incite others to violence (which is a rightful limit of free speech).
Really, Islam shouldn't be any more of a sacred cow to avoid criticising than Christianity, or political ideologies. It's childish and immature of Muslims to throw temper tantrums (and resort to violence, in some cases) when their faith isn't given preferential treatment by non-believers when all other faiths are rightfully fair game for critique and satire. Attempting to control non-believers and get them to shut up, is not acceptable. Again, Muslims should either put up with a bit of criticism and ridicule if they want to enjoy the benefits of living in a Western liberal society - or move to Saudi Arabia where they don't have to worry about non-believers (who they believe deserve to be tortured forever!) hurting their overly-sensitive feelings.
I indeed see madness at work, from my perspective. And I'm not going to apologise for giving my opinion there, in a forum for open expression of ideas. If you don't like it, don't read. Simple. But shut up? No. This isn't the Dark Ages.
