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

[ QUOTE ]
big·ot (plural big·ots)
noun
Definition:
intolerant person: somebody with strong opinions, especially on politics, religion, or ethnicity, who refuses to accept different views

[/ QUOTE ]

also a second definition

[ QUOTE ]
A person who regards his own faith and views in matters of religion as unquestionably right, and any belief or opinion opposed to or differing from them as unreasonable or wicked. In an extended sense, a person who is intolerant of opinions which conflict with his own, as in politics or morals; one obstinately and blindly devoted to his own church, party, belief, or opinion.

[/ QUOTE ]

At first I was going to say that you were just ignorant, but your comments look bigoted according to these definitions. I guess it depends on how willing you are to change your mind, but there is no way for us to know that. So I could definitely see how you could be seen as a bigot.

Would you mind telling us what specific tenets of Islam you find evil?
