- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

My experience is the opposite, it's always Christians bringing it up, often by judging others' actions out loud.
Never had any of the other Abrahamitic denominations try to convert me, although I was approached by a Hare Krishna recruiter once.
I got an Islamic pamphlet once while enjoying the sun on my lunch break. I'm as Scandinavian whitey as can be. It was so unexpected that I wasn't even mad.
(The pamphlet itself was as uninteresting as any other religious evangelist material.)
They are no more judge than other system of belief imo. I've always found they are respectful about it tho.
I was referring to a specific Abrahamic denomination. The one that had their profit marrying a 9 year old.
Your description was clear, our experiences seem to differ.
In case you're worried we have different frames of reference: The way you're trying to implicate Islam in denigrating terms is not respectful. In analogous phrasing, the Christian denominations are based around glorifying human sacrifice.
I think simplifying the incarnation of God as a man and offering Himself up as a sacrifice for His children as "glorifying human sacrifice" is a massive misrepresentation. Unless that's supposed to be your point.
That is precisely the point, well spotted.
