why is it that people say “all religions are bad” whenever a post involving islam shows up, but not when there’s a Christmas post, or is a picture of Easter bunnies…
People shit on Christianity all the time and it’s not like anyone at least here bats an eye. But when it’s Islam it’s “all religions are bad”. People are a bit more careful with Islam lol
I guess it’s in part because it’s hard to distinguish if the negative attitude toward Islam is racism or just against the religion. Christianity is viewed as white – at least that’s the impression I get – so that distinction doesn’t exist. It is interesting to see how the two are handled so differently
I noticed that every post tangentially related to islam has comments condemning all religions, yet those comments are usually absent when the post is tangentially related to Christianity like a post about easter or Christmas.
IE, bringing up a Dawkins like atheism only when taking about a specific group, is just a lazy form of racism
I’d struggle to call the op tangentially related. It’s not like they’re simply posting something based on a corporate take on Ramadan the way an Easter bunny is for Christians. Oop specifically wanted to anger her, and did a hilariously poor job because of his ignorance

Yep, they are afraid of violent fundamentalists but also of liberals trying to cancel them…

no comment about “all religions are cancer”
because Christianity is treated like normal rather than a religion
You know damn well an Easter bunny is not comparable to burning a Quran. And plenty of people will say the same if you burn a Bible too
you missed my issue.
