An atheist professor said Tuesday that it's acceptable to criticize Christians but not Muslims, because he does not "fear" retaliation from Christians.
"I know what keeps me from critiquing Islam on my blog is just fear," Phil Zuckerman said at a discussion on religious liberty at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. "I've got three kids.
"So I know I can say anything about Christianity or Mormonism, and I'm not living in fear, which is a testament to Christianity and Mormonism, and that's wonderful. Thank you," said Zuckerman, who is a self-described atheist and professor of secular studies at Pitzer College in Claremont, Calif.

From the comments -—
He’s no more cowardly than the rest of zip-lipped society when it comes to Islam. Dhimmitude is the natural state of those afraid to offend others.

What a sorry excuse for a man.
They will not spare him in return for his cowardice, of course.

Academia is full of professors of nothing.
And it’s damned expensive, too.

My credulity needs to be stretched. Like any good muscle, stretch it before you use it.

Yep. he is a coward.
I've got daughters that would encourage the muzzies to fornicate themselves.
The muzzies certainly wouldn't see one single ducat from them.

Islam delenda est! Indeed. The first rule of war teaches from the stakes: Survival, therefore it "must be studied..."
As to the man's cowardly blasphemies, to those among us to whom "the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven" have been revealed," we are fortunate to worship the God of Abraham, father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; well able to protect his own reputation.
"Truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"
