Default Re: Is it bigoted to denounce Islam as immoral and even \'disgusting\'?

[ QUOTE ]
Yes, it is bigoted. There is a difference between opposing Islam and saying it is evil. If your rant had happened here instead of IRL, I would ban you.

Please don't ban me, im not attacking anyone. Not that it gives me any more right to attack Islam but I have close relatives who have Islamic bacgrounds whom i hope would respect my right to criticize their theology.

Whhy is it bigoted, though? I may be told that I am wrong in my assertion that Islam is evil based on my principles thatit conflicts with the rights of man; equality and freedom[1]- but thats not bigotry its ignorance. So I may be accused of being wrong; but surely not a bigot?
