You will never hear such things about muslims, only about christians, because people are not afraid to bash a religion that is about love and peace. Many people hate their culture and everything what is included in that culture, such as religion, its the case here in germany among many people, most of them are left-winged, but they wont ever demonstrate against islamists or the political islam, altough that belief is very violent, just because it comes from somewhere else and people here only have the courage to bash everything that belongs to their own culture, even if it is good, but if you bash something from somewhere else, youre a racist. Like I said, thats only the case among many young people here in germany, I dont know if its the same case somewhere else.

Bahaha no. There are political organisations in the west that call for Islam to be banned, people burning Quarans etc. Islam, due to the attacks by radical Muslims, is extremely vilified in the west at the moment.

Generally you'll see on this board more atheists debating with Christians (and as such against Christian beliefs) because there are more Christians on these boards. In reality most atheists I know don't care what religion the person belongs to but what their beliefs within that religion are, for example most atheists find young earth creationist beliefs more silly than those who believe the Big Bang theory.

One pastor burns a Quran, and every government in the Western world gets on his case to stop. He gets a personal call from President Obama. He gets several death threats. The British government remarks that they would arrest him for it. A riot in Afghanistan kills several UN workers.

If I were to go outside right now and burn a Bible, would any of that happen? Indeed, when thousands of people burn Bibles at demonstrations in the Middle East, does any of that happen? No. Their right to free speech is defended.

It's exactly for that reason that people are turning against Islam to a much greater extent than they are turning against Christianity. Because when Islam is concerned, free speech is thrown out of the window. The one place it still exists is online, really. At least on this site, I've seen far more criticisms of Islam than Christianity, although the majority of their beliefs are the same.
