>how much hell do you want to let loose?
It's not about me wanting to let hell loose. It's me not being naive enough to think that you can repeatedly insult a large proportion of your demographic like that, without repercussions.
Singing a psalm during sex is basically the equivalent of smearing some Islamic symbol with pig fat.

>most of the muslims don't object to how we live
What does that have to do with anything? The question is, is your society repeatedly insulting the fundamentals of their religion? Cause I think they'd have a few notable reactions if you did.
The issue isn't if Muslims like how Christians live, or the other way around. The issue is that part of western society, that is clearly not very religious, is repeatedly throwing some very cheap and sleazy shots only at Christianity, and expecting them to take it forever, like a battered wife.
Do you think that is healthy for society? I don't.

>you can try to incite controversy with provocative statements
I'm provocative? I'd say that radio ad you mentioned is far more provocative than anything I've said lately.

>do you wish to die on that hill, fighting that battle?
Do I want to die on a hill of society not being hypocritical, and applying double standards to its population? Absolutely yes. If that is what it takes, I'd give my life gladly.

@alyx
Should it not be the other way round — Islam should be made more secular, not Christianity more strict?
It is often radicalized on purpose. Muslims can be just as "tame" and tolerant as Christians in developed countries, here is a great movie on this subject: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_P
Core value of Christianity is exactly turning the other cheek — being tolerant, core value of Islam is about self dignity, being a worthy person.

Burqas and preventing women from making music may be tradition, but it has nothing to do with faith or core values and while doing something to provoke some community to "troll" them is wrong, resurrecting some medieval traditions in your own community to outdo them is wrong on whole other level. I don't want to got back to the times of crusades and I don't think it's the path we should be taking.

Have your faith — no one should take it away from you, but keep it to yourself, don't try to impose your ways on others if they aren't asking for it.
