"Most secular liberals think that all religions are the same, and they consider any suggestion to the contrary a sign of bigotry"<p>I can't speak for others but personally I don't make distinction between religions because I view "religion" overall as an atavistic and harmful phenomenon that seeks to deprive human beings of critical thinking capacities and is often used as a control tool towards nefarious ends.<p>Individual religions/cults certainly differ between themselves in their potential to cause harm but it is the overall concept of "religion" that must be rejected by humanity as wrong in principle - otherwise those extreme and violent manifestations of religion will keep reappearing and with the speed of technological progress as it is today will soon pose mortal danger to the whole human civilisation.

The walls of our embassies and consulates have been breached, their precincts abandoned to triumphant mobs, and many people have been murdered—all in response to an unwatchable Internet video titled “Innocence of Muslims.”<p>It has nothing to do with a video. It has to do with bombing them and killing their children.
