According to the guidelines posted in Delhi freethinkers group people who believe the following are not welcome

"- You think that the likes of Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins and Bill Maher have a point about Muslims and Islam."

I can't see how this is justified. I think Dawkins, Hitchens etc have quite clearly stated and defended their views on this. How does nirmukta differ from their stands?

If this is something to guard against the groups becoming a venue for Muslim bashing perhaps the above needs to be reworded to indicate criticism of the religion itself is okay?

Criticism of any religion is fine. That statement is specifically for fanboys who will give free pass to the bigotry of atheist "big-shots". For us no person is exempt from being called out for their regressive attitudes.

Also kindly lets not get into discussion about "what did they do" in this thread. This thread is reserved for moderation concerns. (I know you haven't done anything like this, but just preemptively clarifying it)

Thanks
