Um, actually, ALL religions should be critized! Strength and conviction of belief only comes through having to critically look at why and how you believe something. Faith should be strong enough to withstand it- and aren't tests of faith a good thing?
there are ways to be critical without being insulting. What makes Islam so special? every other religion in the world has been critized, often in humorous or insulting manners. The fact is there is a difference between faith and religion- and while you say you can critize actions and practices, but not the religion, the two things are intertwined. and too many people do what you just did, and when those practices are critized, fall back on the 'Islam is exempt' schtick.
