Al Mohler begins his blog today with apology for finding himself in agreement with Pete Singer regarding his opposition to the UN resolution that would make defaming Islam a crime.
I have as much difficulty finding myself in agreement with Mohler as I do when I find myself in agreement with Singer, but in this instance I agree with both of them.
Defaming Islam is rude and insensitive and is a faux paux for which many Southern Baptists are guilty, but it certainly should not be criminalized.
At their best, both Christianity and Islam recognize that open inquiry permitting honest critique is central to the search for truth.
