    Seems straightforward: don’t talk shit about all Muslims and pretend it’s criticism of Islam. If you’re railing against specific dogma, go wild. If you’re insisting all seven hundred million believers must fanatically share that dogma, fuck off. Divisions within the faith are kind of contentious. Projecting third-hand knowledge of al-Shawarma militants onto Ali Patel from accounting is naked prejudice.

    That goes double if you’re just muttering about “Islamism” because Al wears a turban.
