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

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

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
