Criticism of religious ideas should never be restricted as Islamophobic

Evidence

When it comes to the criticism of ideas, nothing, in my view, should be out of bounds. Nothing should be unsayable simply because someone finds it offensive, or because it is culturally or religiously sensitive. It is a view that today finds little resonance. Much of the discussion about Islamophobia revolves around questions of what speech should be limited and how. — A. Hussain, N. Meer, Framing Muslim Integration, 654
