Ali Rizvi nails it, as usual.

People have rights. Ideas don't. If we can just remember that and apply it at all times things will go a lot more smoothly.

That was a pretty go piece.

I don't mean to put down all of Islam. As a non-religious person I do think Islam is nonsense but then again I think all religions are nonsense. But the problem is that I'm allowed to say it about other religions but not allowed to say it about Islam and that's not right or healthy in any way.

People have rights. Ideas don't. That sums it up perfectly. Muslims should have exactly as many rights as everyone else but no way should any criticism of Islam be responded to with "Islamophobe." It is nothing more than a tactic to prevent free expression.

Excepting this, I pretty much agree. I just find it baffling how some people are or pretend to be accepting of other cultures carte blanche. American Muslims protesting the travel ban would almost make sense, LGTB protesting a temporary ban on these 6 countries defies logic.
