We have to be able to criticize bad ideas...Islam is the motherload of bad ideas. In the current climate, to say that is to risk being accused of Islamophobia and much, much worse. In Europe they even have laws to keep the conversation within the above boundaries. That’s how the great Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci, who called the burqa “this filthy medieval rag,” spent her last days on earth on trial for hate speech. Danish cartoonists who made black humor of jihadists bombing for Allah had to build themselves safe rooms. In Amsterdam, when fundamentalist immigrants needed state-subsidized housing, but wanted to keep their females from defiling the common areas, the Dutch government gamely built dividing walls in their apartments. ~ Sam Harris
