You’re a child.

Spend the next decade listening to people instead of talking.

Then decide if you want to ask this question again.

It is islamophobia that always get a pass

You’re asking individuals why groups might display certain characteristics or opinions?

So, in my opinion, I could not care less what someone’s religion is - they are entirely welcome to whatever it is they believe, or whatever variant of the parent mythology they believe in respect of Abrahamism. Lots of theistically religious people have made significant contributions to science over the last few hundred years.

But what I do take issue with and am vocally against is when religions or religious individuals assume that their particular one is the only ‘right’ one and they try and manipulate or outright force those who are not part of that religion to obey their beliefs. This comes in the form of laws and law-making institutions mostly.

I live in a country where Muslims make up a very low percentage of the population and therefore they have little to no impact on how I choose to live. Christians on the other hand have a very large influence on the laws and institutions where I am so that’s where the majority of my protesting lies when it comes to religions. If the populations were reversed, so would be my protest.

… Depends on your definition of “okay”.

A maximally “good person” would not consider it OK to criticize someone’s religion, but they may criticize harmful activities that individuals perform, even if such individuals use their religion as an excuse to do harmful things–because it is not about religion, but rather about choices and actions.

However, I am admittedly not a maximally good person, no matter how much of a cinnamon roll I do wish I could be… And I draw the line a little further into the gray area, in that the thing that gives me pause is not “it’s a religion” but rather “participation in these activities–” this religion in particular “–strongly correlates with specific marginalized demographics.”

There is a very strong likelihood that dissing islam will also, with proverbial ‘splash damage’, hit people who are also going through a lot of awful shit with government leadership and legislation that somehow manages to STILL be more cruel and more corrupt than a given “global north” or “western” nation state.

So … It’s just awareness of context.

Also there is a chilling effect from all the highly publicized incidents where journalists are murdered for saying something that some individuals whom are Muslim do not agree with.

(although that does not make them look any worse than when israel murders journalists lately…)

Generally speaking, the normative population of christians (using the broadest possible definition in Literally Anyone Who Prays To Jesus) does not, statistically, suffer nearly as much oppression as muslims.

So … due to EXTERNALITIES, mocking islam itself, specifically, feels too much like ‘punching down’ for my liking. It is my hypothesis that there are other people hesitating to talk shit for the same or at least similar reasons. Meanwhile, mocking christianity is quite a bit less like ‘punching down’ because the most corrupt, powerful, dastardly sacks of shit on the planet dress themselves up as christians.

…That said, I do not think anyone has a leg to stand on as far as trying to dictate at other people that they are “allowed” to mock some religions but not others. I for one believe this is a personal choice that one must make for oneself. If you wish it did not happen, the extent of one’s individual influence is to choose not to oneself.

I am a leftist. Islam most certainly does not “get a pass”.

I recommend paying more attention to context.

When Christian nationalism bans all Muslims from airplanes, that’s racist (yeah, I know, religion isn’t a race, but it’s easier to type and hate is hate.) Muslims shouldn’t be treated like that.

When Israel is mass bombing schools and hospitals, that’s a genocide, Muslims don’t deserve that.

When a Muslim judge decides that a woman wasnt respectful enough to her husband and should be beheaded, that’s fucked up, fuck Islam.

I don’t give a fuck what “team” anybody is on. I’m going to speak up against injustice when it happens, and here and now, I see is Christians committing and supporting injustices against others. Until they stop, you’ll keep hearing us point them out.

It’s never okay.

Regarding Islam, they are famous for hunting and killing such offenders worldwide regardless of any law.

Well I don’t know what to tell you friend. I’m as bathed in the blood as they come and this has not been my experience. Consider Proverbs 11:27

“Whoever seeks good finds favor, but evil comes to one who searches for it.”

Were you really raised to believe its ok curse out people with slurs for being religious?

I’ve never encountered a community of people hating on religion not shitting on Islam as much as other abrahamic religions.

What can be is that many “western” politicians try to use Christianity to push their agenda, so people shit on this christians harder, because it’s closer and we are often reminded how shitty people are that try to use religion as a weapon.

I’m guessing because of the genocides? After the Holocaust, Jews pretty much got a Get Out of Jail Free card for decades to say/do whatever… Judaism doesn’t really recruit though, so this wasn’t really an issue until the Zionist war machine began committing genocide in Palestine. Between that and what happened in China, people are starting to let Muslims get a pass, just because they’re so persecuted.

I didn’t really think they had a pass since so many of them are being slaughtered.

Christians haven’t actually been persecuted in ages. The thing is, Christianity is the most evangelical, so they go into other countries and try to convert everyone. Not everyone takes to it well. So when people resist conversion, Christians act persecuted, when no one was threatening them in their homes, but quite the opposite.

As an Atheist I just wonder why we can’t all just get along.

Islam doesn’t get a pass, Christianity is just a LOT more relevant in the spaces you move.

… Wait, we’ve had this conversation.

Because the eternal enemy of the far left, the United States, spent the first part of the 2000s at war with Islamists. (And before to a lesser extent due to US support for Israel)

Both the far right and islamists want to blur the line between islam and islamists in order to push moderate muslims away from the west. The far left being opposed to anything US does will defend it.

Id probs say its more the far left, but just like the far right, they cherry pick what suits them at the time

Do you want to call Muslims slurs? What about engage in antisemitism? What’s the real drama going on with you? I don’t picture straight white cis men when I think of Christianity, I picture hateful republicans.
