Since the difference between Christian critics and secular critics is often very unclear in the context of western countries, here is a suggestion for a header that more clearly specifies the distinction.
"This category is only meant for Christian religious leaders and Christian religious workers and for people using Christian theological arguments with criticism of Islam. All other should instead be placed in Category:Secular critics of IslamCategory:Critics of Islam."
Support proposition by @Marcocapelle. "Christian" here refers to the nature of the criticism, not the private beliefs of the person who is considered a critic. This category should be reserved to religious leaders who have been involved in theological debate on the issue. Note that this view is consistent with the consensus of this recent discussion to purge these categories of cases for whom criticism of Islam is not WP:DEFINING.Place Clichy (talk) 08:04, 30 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Support. This is a reasonable categorisation, although I'm not sure if 'Christian theological arguments' are always easy to detect and the arbitration of whether an argument is Christian-theological or not can be done by Wikipedians or need to be done by reliable sources.

Support. This will help to keep out e.g. Paul Golding who has staged what he called "Christian patrols" in multi-cultural areas; he has little in common with the other members of the category. – FayenaticLondon21:24, 8 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
