Well there's an added problem that criticizing Islam provides a legitimate cover for actual bigots/racists/call it what you want. I definitely agree, ideologies and religions need to be criticized, but the criticism needs to be in the proper forum, for the proper reason. And well, America in particular (but also Europe) are very, very, very bad at talking about race. And in this case, race is definitely a part of the discussion.

So all in all it's just a very complicated problem and a lot of people like to pretend that it's quite simple.


That does go both ways obviously. On one side you get those people who are basically just suspicious of Arabic looking people, and then on the other side you get people like the TC who are trying to create an environment where any criticism of Islam or what Muslims do is considered racist, and therefore instantly dismissed as small-minded bigotry.
