This idea that we radicalize Muslims when we criticize Islam

This idea that we radicalize Muslims when we criticize Islam is one of the most ironically bigoted things I have ever heard in my life. You realize what you are saying, right? You are admitting that Islam does have a very large problem, but you are simultaneously saying something even worse about Muslims themselves. You are saying that they will become more barbaric when their ideas are criticized. Now whether it is true or not, either way, it's f***ing terrible that people are saying it and we should stop, actually talk about the problem, and not sweep it under the rug and hope it goes away. It very obviously is not going to do that.

And another thing. How can all these people who talk anecdotally about their Muslim friends (as an argument against Islam being a bad ideology) say such a horrible thing about them? It just makes no sense whatsoever.
