It's just a matter of degree. Some are polite enough just to say that the others are "in error," while others go as far as to say that practitioners of the others are "infidels," "damned," etc. or insist that the convert or be killed. Therefore, the entire notion of "religious defamation" is absurd. So long as it does not cross the line into threats of harassment or "ethnic cleansing," criticism of religion must be not only permitted but defended.</p> The important thing to remember, in situations such as this one, is that ALL religions defame other religions.
