Originally posted by SerendipityPerhaps academics are less afraid that if they criticise Christianity they will have a screaming mob protesting outside they’re building the next day and start receiving death threats? I would however suspect that there have been plenty of critical analyses of Islam, but as Christianity has many more people in it, particularly in the west, it is hardly surprising that it gets analysed more often. And the fact that on the whole Christians are 'tougher skinned' as it were to criticism, then it is easier to do it more openly.
Why in academic institutes is it ok to critique Christianity but not Islam?

Don't get me wrong, I'm neither pro or anti Islam,but shouldn't anyone be able to safely critique anything?

You will find the answer. To your best academic satisfaction. This site has been created by an enlightened muslim named Ali Sina originally from Iran, now living under tight securuty in Italy. To continue his website he is facing great odds.

Fear is an issue for all mankind, shame we fear each other so much,
and a shame we need to with some.

Why should you be afraid of anything? Is it not the job of the Almighty Lord God to take care of you and all your fears?
The fact that you too are afraid, indicates that somewhere deep down in your heart the foundation of your faith in Him is shaky....
