David Wood has put out a really good video on this event. He points out that those who block the criticism of Islam do not help the issue with Islam and violent acts done in its name. He talks about how criticizing Islam, showing others how Muhammad was not the perfect role example to live by, how the quran is not filled with scientific facts, and how the quran has not been perfectly persevered since its creation, can help others leave the religion which would help decrease the problem with violence done in its name.
The problem isnt that those who criticize Islam hurt the feelings of Muslims, which causes them to kill in allahs name. Protecting this ideology from criticism leads to others being taught that it is good to fight in allahs name, without hearing any reason to turn from the teachings of Muhammad. And those who wish to speak out against the violent religion begin to feel frustrated that their attempts are called "racist" and "bigoted", and let themselves consider more violent solutions.
Heres the video for anyone interested-
