Reply #124: Let's get back to the crux of the issue

[JonQ]

The "satire" is supposedly skewering christians for unfairly blaming muslims for committing crimes by pointing out that christians do it too and do not recieve the same level of criticism.

This is false in many ways.
1) no one claims all muslims are terrorists.
2) muslims DO commit more acts of terrorism in this country than their total numbers would allow, which raises questions. If christians represent 70% of the population and commit 70% of crimes that doesn't really prove much. If muslims represent 5% of the population and commit 30% of the acts of terrorism that suggests there is some correlation between religion and terrorism.
3) Christianity is blamed on here when ever christian terrorists act, I trust you weren't around for the tiller murder but christianity was routinely bashed as being the cause of this crime. There are no similiar threads about muslim terrorists. On here if anything the bias is in favor of muslims.

And on a personal note I am an atheist, but that doesn't mean I can't recognize when christians are held to a different standard on here than other faiths, and I have no personal animosity towards any religion, but I do think numbers and statistical trends are relevant, and not racist.

What you call "reading between the lines" I would call "making stuff up".
