Hey @arminnavabi I'm in complete agreement with your stance on hating the ideology not the humans born or indoctrinated into it. I've been studying, writing and thinking about Islam since 2001 and consistently the sources I've learned the most from are either apostate Muslims (of any or no faith today) and honest accounts of dhimmitude from those who truly experienced it.

I also think that, contrary to what most people especially in US conservative circles think, open and honest discussion of this is one of the hardest things to have in any of the mainstream public forums and as soon as voices gain any kind of public attention, they're squashed.

Would be delighted to join you on a stream some time to talk these things through, I'm not an atheist, but exactly as you say, we need to tolerate the ideas of others as long as those ideas don't call for our death!
