The answer, of course, is NO. Except in a very few parishes, the Catholic community has had four or five decades of indoctrination presenting JUDGEMENTALISM as the only vice, and TOLERANCE as the only virtue.
True Catholicism, far from discouraging us to exercise our judgment, actually requires that we do so, NOT in regard to the motives of other people, but certainly in regard to their beliefs, their statements and their actions. The only one whose motivation we are allowed to judge is ourself, but making a judgment on the actions and beliefs of others, in the light of a properly formed conscience, is a requirement for living the Faith. The immoral or heretical ideas and actions of others should not be imitated, but to know what to imitate, and what not, one must make properly informed judgments.
Specifically in regard to Islam, so very many people are going to allow the lies of political correctness to cause them to suspend judgment, until, when it is too late to do anything else, they are forced to acknowledge the truth.
