Criticism of Islam

Criticism of Islam has existed since its formative stages. Early written criticism came from Christians, before the ninth century, many of whom viewed Islam as a radical Christian heresy. Hindus and Zoroastrians made notable criticism as well. Later the Muslim world itself offered criticism. Criticism of Islam in the West was renewed after the September 11 attacks and other terrorist attacks in the 21st century.
