Wrapping up a thinly vield moderate interpretation of Islam with a debatably witty retort amounting to nothign more than the usual apology, "Oh Yeah? Well, during the Crusades and Spanish Inquisition, Christians used to be violent tooooo..." and pretending that peace (and not submission) is the mainstream practice of Islam, does not wash than hands of Moslems of the current blood on it.
Today's back alley "Imaginary Islam" doesn't claim to be the same as, or just as good as Christianity or Judaism. Today's unregistered "Imaginary Islam" claims to be Perfect. The Best religion ever invented!
It would seem that "Imaginary Islam" is using outdated and highly fraught failed methods like terrorizing innocent people with violence, and the accompanying denial, and now market branded gender oppression, instead of fair debate or actual intellectual logic based argument.
The sad fact is this: "Imaginary Islam" wants to be conveniently nebulous. Invisibly unaccountable. Not responsible for the viloence being committed in it's name now. This is unacceptable.
If there are no "Official Institutions", no "Authorities", no "Certified Religious Leadership", no "Pope" or "Vatican of Islam", and no one in Islam responsible for "the actions of a few bad seeds", then sadly the rest of humanity, must hold ALL Moslems accountable for these deeds, that are MOST CERTAINLY being 1000% committed in the name of Islam.
You cannot have it both ways. You cannot remain in the shadows, pretending that because you are arguably moderate, you get to be excused from taking any blame. Worse, you cannot be outraged, when Islam is blamed.
To all you Moslems who are trapped in the 7th century and your own real-fear based denial now, you don't get to skate. Grow up. Stand Up to the bullies in your religion. Reform Islam. Remove the outdated, utterly ridiculous, and highly retarded rules for women's clothing, and pork, and create a modern moderate Islam that truly Everyone would WANT to follow. Not HAVE to follow this version, which is now an utter aberration, or else.
It's easy. Declare all the Hadiths invalid. Hold a new Hadith writing competition that includes even women Hadith writers. Even cartoonists. Vote on the what the majority thinks are the best ones, and then have everyone elect a Pope to rule them all. Then pick Mecca as the official independent "Vatican state" (maybe even call it a Caliphate?). Then let the new Pope work on more rules, especially on his succession, and then start debating homosexuality in Islam.
Because like all religions, "Homosexuality and Faith", is really, the biggest problem that Islam has to address.
Although, if Islam reforms itself really well, it could nip this in the bud too, and emerge re-organized, reformed, and pretty damn close to perfect.
Too bad...
FARCEY NATION YEAhhh BAby....YOU TELL THEM WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT....YAaaa....HIt Them where it hurtsss....

Quran (2:191-193) - "And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing... but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah [disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah] and worship is for Allah alone.

I did a quick search and found none. But they have a staff writer with the same name that pops-up and pucks everywhere!
This is how you give Islam a bad name!!!!!

The link doesn't seem to work (but it should!). Here's another attempt.
