I think it is fair to criticize and "scrutinize" these issues

Of course it is fair to scrutinize the issues. I am speaking the effectiveness of scrutinizing the religion as a whole.

With religions as big as the ones you mentioned, you're talking about hundreds of millions of people, all with different personal beliefs and different levels of acceptance of the different teachings of their respective religions. So most generalizations are just gonna be false.
That being said, there are identifiable issues that are rooted in religious beliefs that, even though we're not talking about 100% of them, a large proportion, sometimes a majority, accept them as they are thought, or as they are written in their respective scriptures. I think it is fair to criticize and "scrutinize" these issues, not because they are rooted in texts written so long ago, but because so many of these people accept them and live by them today.
