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?

They are christian, regardless of you liking it or not. That it the principle of the “no true scotsman”-fallacy. Read up on it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman
If I claimed to be you, would I be you?
They are not Christian
You claim to be Christian.
They claim to be Christian.
You claim they are not Christian.
They claim you are not Christian.
Sounds to me like you both have equal claims to the title. Can you help us understand why YOU are the only one who has the authority to define what a Christian is?
the Athanasian Creed and the Church have the authority
They are christian, regardless of your feelings towards them.
A Christian that doesnt listen to Christ is like a vegan who eats meat
Does that change the fact that they believe that they listen to Christ? Their pastors tell them that they do! They tell them all about the loving Christ! And then they tell them about who doesn’t deserve the mercy of Christ because they strayed too far from whatever imagined line they draw.
The drawing of this line isn’t something unchristian. Its very much integrated in EVERY abrahamic religion. The only difference is where that line is drawn - which only means that there might be a difference in tolerance between christian denominations, but it is a gradual thing, and not a categorical one.
why are they “Christian”?
Because they believe in God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and use the Bible as a basis. That defines pretty much all of Christianity, regardless of how they interpret the scripture.
