text: Only angry fools would tear up Korans or believe that doing something like that is helpful.  And most people know that the vast majority of Muslims are peaceful and just trying to earn a living like everyone else.
  Still, our self described "thought leaders" need to dial back the tolerance shaming when perfectly reasonable people ask such questions as:
  * Why is an inordinate amount of violence in the world associated with Islamic societies?
  * Why are western progressives silent on the incongruities between women's rights, LGBTQ rights, and religious and cultural relativism?
  * Why do certain parliamentary motions imply that some religions are more worthy of protection than others?
  * Why are requests for religious accommodation in schools and other places made by Muslims often treated more solicitously than similar requests made by Christians, Jews, Hindus et al?
    The answers are rooted in politics and cowardice.  Muslims are the biggest losers when such questions go unanswered.
