So apparently any kind of Islamic superstition should now be immune to "intolerant" criticism, which simply means pointing out that it's bullshit. Particularly concerning is the role of Christian theologians themselves in facilitating this kind of nonsense, especially since some of them are still apparently upset about losing their all-powerful influence over the lives of others during the Enlightenment:

“Since the Renaissance and Enlightenment, Western societies have framed religion as a relic of darkness, opposed to reason. This creates a pervasive suspicion of all faiths, not just Christianity,” he said. “People assume religious believers are less rational or more prone to danger, assumptions that (are) simply false.

So I guess we have to say flying horses are real now? Although I think Christianity is far more reasonable that Islam has ever been.

Western society is based on Christianity and the further it gets away from it the worse it gets.
