Personally, I have nothing against muslim borns. However, I do feel that Islam has not evolved since it was born, due to its intense intolerance to criticism.
Jesus/bible is regularly criticised by christians, many hindu gods/books are criticised by hindus, and similarly other religions. They are not threatened with death. Though there are stray groups who threaten people sometime, the vast majority has rejected a lot of evil practices prescribed by these books.
Islam, on the other hand, threatens death for anybody who dares to criticise it, or even to people who convert out of it. I find most arguments of muslims are based on the assumption that Muhammad/Quran was right (which they may or may not be). None of them, one may find is willing to discuss the authenticity of Muhammad/Quran despite there being no proof of their inviolability except Muhammad saying so.
Unless muslims are free to criticise Islam, I don't think their praise for it is valid.
This is a key issue. All other religions are criticised by their practioners; rarely do muslims do that despite their being at the bottom of the pile with respect to all religions on measures such as per capita wealth, happiness index, human rights, science, and being the top contributor for global terrorism. People sometimes misunderstand lack of criticism of Islam by muslims as its greatness; but it is a proof of its decadence/medieval mentality/insecurity. It is a lack of choice.
