If you are referring to me, then no, I wouldn't be among the first to defend islam. In many ways they are worse than christians in this country, but christians are in on my radar more because this country is full of them and their influence is everywhere (yet they still claim to be persecuted).
I was never indoctrinated with religion from an early age like some, so it's easy for me to dismiss it as fiction. Without that built in bias it's easy to see a lot of it is factually incorrect. So it's extremely frustrating when I see people using it as an excuse for stifling scientific progress, controlling others, manipulating government/laws, etc. I don't have a problem with people who believe and let others do as they wish, it's their life, whatever. The problem is the tards who take the bible literally and demand everyone else should too. My 'beef' is when they try to force that crap onto others...and having religion in public school is exactly that.

Not the part of religion that is a problem.
