Universities must defend the right to criticize Islam (or any other religious position), not cater to sensitivities of those who resent being criticized.

Muslims are a paradoxical case. In Western countries, they are a weak minority, sometimes targets of discrimination and bigotry. Meanwhile, in countries where they dominate, they often punish anyone that criticizes their views and deny religious freedom to ex-Muslims. We should defend minority Muslims from bigotry, while insisting they (like everyone else) learn to live with freedom of speech, so as to give no comfort to the oppressive policies of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Malaysia and so many more.
