>>To claim that Islam is somehow innately "vicious" or "barbaric" is just insulting.

First a question: Insulting to whom?

If you think it is insulting to Muslims, then I disagree. It may be offensive to some Muslims. Will criticizing Nazism be considered as insulting (to Germans)?

I am not making the equivalency, it was an example to illustrate my point that criticizing an ideology should not be seen as insulting some people.
