Actually, I have devised a trap for "them." It goes like this:

Me: I think we have to consider taking a good hard look at Islam and its responsibility for this kind of mindset-

Them: (breaking in immediately cause you can't even finish a sentence like this in a university setting, free speech be damned) You can't say that! You can't blame a religion, that's their RELIGION! And besides, look at all the things done by Christianity!

Me: What? Name ONE atrocity that Christianity is responsible for!

Them: The Inquisition? Hello?!

Me: Okay, why is it okay to say that Christianity is responsible for the Inquisition but NOT okay to say that Islam is responsible for terrorism?

Them: (sputter, stammer, wires-crossing....)

I blame the Inquisition on Islam too as Spain was the only Catholic country that had it and only after 700 years of fighting Islam within it's borders.
