The Logical Place · Tim Harding's writings on rationality, informal logic and skepticism
Not to allow to criticize Islam, is like not to allow to criticize Nazism or Communism. Islam with its totalitarianism essence can’t except criticism, and this is exactly the point. Exactly those ideologies and faith that can’t live with criticism, need more than other beliefs to be criticized. The only answer of Islam to criticism, exactly as of Communism and Nazism is mass despotism and murder.
