Why is criticizing Islam bad

Submitted by Prashant, Sep 13, 2018 at 01:53

Dear Dr Pipes, I for the life of me will never understand why criticizing Islam should be bad. Islam --by its own declaration-- is a political, legal, economic, social, and military philosophy and we criticize such philosophies all the time. Criticizing Islam must be encouraged and not suppressed or monitored.
