I think it's delicate just because chances are, someone bashing Islam, at least in the West, is most often a Christian. If I really got the sense that it was equal opportunity "religion sucks" criticism, I don't think I'd have a problem, I think both Christianity and Islam (and Judaism for that matter) have inherent problems in their scripture. But it seems to me like it's usually "Islam is evil because they suck and blahblahblah and also they hate us Christians they need Jesus" and such. And frankly, a lot of criticism of Islam is pretty ignorant and biased.

I also think it's tough to separate it from race because asshole critics so often tie it together as such. It's often racist people doing it in the first place. Relating to caricatures of Mohammed, sure, have at it - but does the caricature invoke racist stereotypes of the ethnicity of Middle-Eastern people?

In the end, I do agree that Islam and every other religion deserves criticism. But it is a lot stickier because the West is, for the most part, totally "outside" of the countries that are the most Islamic. It's important to separate culture from religion. (and as it turns out, a lot of the horrendous practices associated with Islam are not actually from the Koran, but cultural practices that religious authorities enforce)
