Their statements often argue that *Islam’s political doctrines or fundamentalist interpretations* are at odds with human rights and modernity—for example, Ali has called for a reformation within Islam and separation between religious faith and political ideology, Harris has described Islam as “especially belligerent” compared to other religions and urges open criticism without bigotry, and Dawkins has sharply criticized extreme interpretations of Islam and called it “the greatest force for evil in the world today” while clarifying that this doesn’t mean all Muslims are bad. These views are controversial, drawing both support and strong criticism—many feel such sweeping critiques oversimplify the diversity of Muslim belief and may unfairly stigmatize ordinary Muslims.
