What do people think? "Islam is an idea, and ideas deserve to criticised, to be mocked, to be dissected. Blasphemy laws — where it is made illegal to mock religions — are unwise, because it would effectively shield religions from public criticism. Since religions, especially Islam and its many interpretations, govern the daily lives of many people, we must be able to criticise aspects of it. It has been said, “Offence can not be given, only taken”. With this much anger in the Malay-Muslim community over their sacred cow, it is unclear whether Islam can ever be objectively criticised instead of it being afforded special immunity over other ideas."
