26. Cuttiing out the PC crap will lead to accusations of Islamophobia. IMO
the term Islamophobia has to be laid to rest as it denigrates people who criticize the ideas that make up Islam. People who like to throw that word around have to learn that ideas can be criticized, that religions are composed of ideas authored by men. People within a faith may believe that a text has divine origins and they have the right to do so but they have to accept that those outside the faith won't concur.

Unfortunately I don't see that happening in more than a minorty of Muslims because the the foundation of Islam is that the Koran cannot be changed as it is the direct word of god.
