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?

    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.

      yeah, most people dont see Christianity as persecuted even when it is, because the US is the only country they can think of and Trump masqurades as a “Christian” so he’s ruining the reputation of every single one of the actual Christians, which is probably what he wants because as WWII demonstrated, the Church is one of the last “obstacles” to a dictatorship

      Christianity is actually persecuted a lot

      and their “rejecting conversion” is most of the times burning down and desecrating Churches alongside murdering innocent Christians

      And “conversion” isnt a bad thing at all

        United you live somewhere where Christianity is forbidden, you have no idea what persecution is.
