Here, and in most leftist spaces, why does Islam always get a pass?

is it because when people picture “muslim” they picture a POC but when they picture “Christian” they picture a straight white man?

    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.
