I was raised a Catholic and I am quite happy to discuss its shortcomings. There are many. This includes questionable dogma about birth control, sexual abuse by priests and mant other issues. I am laso happy to try and explain the good things about Catholicism and the common misconceptions held by non Catholics. Surely, discussion is a good thing. The more people understand, the more tolerant they become.

I am not interested in slagging off Islam or any other religion. I do want to understand Islam and have been reading up on it. I don't think many people really intend to slag off Islam. They do sometimes find it confusing and therefore raise valid questions. Sometimes these questions are not very tactfully put and they get an over-sensitive response. Then the whole thing escalates.

Sometimes its boring, sometimes its funny and sometimes its offensive. All the time it is human.
