The advocates for the immunity of religion (i.e. Islam) from criticism are conveniently ignoring an inherent contradiction in their argument. The Quran itself is a severe critique of Judaism and Christianity. The Dome of the Rock is decorated with calligraphy quoting the verses of the Quran that claim how Jesus was not the son of God. There are many passages that accuse the Jews and Christians of having corrupted the word of God. And let's not forget the suraat from the period when Mohammed was in Medina and Jewish tribes there were his political rivals. Allah suddenly had less flattering things to reveal to the Prophet about the Jews. Should this excuse me if I flush a Quran down the toilet because certain passages are offensive to Judaism? -Or, by doing so, would I be inviting "understandable" retribution from Muslims? How do you think the people at the U.N. or most journalists would answer that question?
