I think anybody can have his or her personal views and express them appropiately as long as they don't spread hate, violence or discrimination.

Like if i said I don't like being around Muslims because i don't agree with their religion. Should i be fined or arrested? No that's just a closed minded opinion but with all the right to have as long as i don't harass nor attack anyone.

Islam is a set of ideas. Being black is nothing more than your skin colour. You can disagree with Islam, but it's impossible to disagree with being black because there's nothing to disagree with.

Islam is a Middle-Eastern Abrahamic religion, derived from the exact same historical context as Christianity and Judaism.
Anyone who criticizes Islam/Muslims but supports Christianity/Christians or Judaism/Jews is to put bluntly... A Hypocrite.

With that in mind, Freedom of Religion is generally a right given to those in Western Nations and should thus be respected, but that also comes with it an implied right to criticize said Religions... And as an ardent Atheist, I highly encourage everyone to do so in an equal and respectful manner.
