Waving the white flag.

EVAN KOHLMANN: “To be honest, if you look at Charlie Hebdo, they don’t just make fun of Islam. They make fun of religion… But look, I think we need to understand here, there has to be the ability for people to be critical of other religions, of other ideas and whatnot. There has to be that ability. At the same time, look, we have to also respect Islam and we should not deliberately go out and poke our fingers in other people’s eyes, you know. There is — everyone should have the right to critique Islam, but at least we should do it with some sense of respect so that people don’t get the idea that this is Islamaphobia, or the same we would apply to Christianity, Judaism. Look, it’s worthy of critique and debate.”
