Even though fighting for the right to criticize (free speech) is of extreme importance, this specific issue of the doctrine of Islam has even greater repercussions. The Quran and Hadiths relay a message of hate, violence, and intolerance even more than what is found in Mein Kampf. We ignored Hitler's words, and 50+ million people died. Islam is a far greater threat because it is actually much more intolerant and hateful, and has an enormously more significant sphere of control / indoctrination. Additionally, the large-scale weapons of destruction at Islam's disposal combined with a lack of hope/self-preservation within Muslim societies will almost certainly result in death and annihilation that will FAR surpass anything the world has ever seen.

The only chance we have is to have Muslims and Non-Muslims alike actually read and appreciate the Islamic scriptures so that we can all work our way free of its oppression and path to destruction.
