Why is Islamaphobia not accepted but Fear of Christians is?

Simply put, Islam as a majority commits more acts of violence then all religions combined.

Yet society rushes to accept Islam and shun Christians.

Why?

Christianity far and away has outpaced Islam by centuries as far as arcane and mid evil practices.

Because Muslims are a minority in America whereas Christianity is not.

Well I'd say they feel most christians are conservatives and thus it's more acceptable to shit on them.

This is why it's sexist if Trump insults the appearance of a female, but not sexist if people insult Sarah Sanders appearance: special rules.

Nor is it misandry if a women calls Trump fat or orange.

That almost certainly has a lot to do with it.

But it's also just an intellectual failing of the left to deal with ideas appropriately. I agree.

Also you're making this more of a political slant, so it would probably get more traction in the other forum. Just sayin.

This. Also because they don't support local trash collector unions.

Why would they support those unions? They have not taken strides to make sure at least 50% of trash collectors are female.

And the feminists are silent on the issue. This is awful.

Can you name me a muslim majority country where it is more taboo to criticize Christianity than it is Islam?

The left has gone overboard with protecting Muslims for a good reason. They don't want it to turn into tons of discrimination and hatred for every Muslim everyone sees, because that's wrong, too. It's a real concern. You should treat people as individuals because not every Muslim is a Jihadist. But every Jihadist is a Muslim, and the Left seems incapable of admitting that fact.

But I think it's getting better.

If it was getting better they wouldn't pull the equivalent of an "all lives matter" when it came to denouncing anti-semitism from a muslim member of congress.

Fun fact: they had no qualms passing a resolution specifically denouncing white supremacy, but a muslim bigot? "All hate is bad".

It has less to do with minority status, and more to do with harm.

American Muslims tend to be Westernized, so Islam in America does not look like it does in other countries.

There are American Muslims in the government who support LGBTQ rights for example.

Contrast this with American Christians, who are actively working toward establishing a theocracy in the United States.

It is about apportioning concern to the level of harm.

Am I more likely to meet a Muslim or a Christian? Who is more likely to be actively working to harm people like me? And who is more likely to succeed?

It is not that the collect left are not concerned about radical Islam, it is that it is not as a great or as pervasive a threat to Americans in general or the country as a whole as radical Christianity.

I think various pundits are getting less and less credibility when they deny that Islam has anything to do with it. That's what I mean by it getting better.

I agree, but it’s still really bad. The idea that Islam is Superior to Christianity in its ideals is simply propaganda, Christianity as a majority has reformed drastically more than Islam, and this isn’t even courting the murders And Terrorism from Jihadis.

I would have to point and laugh at anyone saying Islam is superior to any other religion lol.

I mean they are #1 for explosions, so there is that. Technically that is an achievement.

There's several reasons. Generally, I think it's a mix of Christians having more power in the Western world than Muslims do, Muslims being more likely to face discrimination, and Christianity having more a platform and thus being more open to criticism.

I should probably note, however, that #TheLeft doesn't hate Christians; they dislike conservatives using their personal beliefs as an excuse to demonize and discriminate groups of people. #TheLeft has also criticized Muslim and Hindu countries for their mistreatment of LGBT and females in the past. So this thread was just intentionally made to compare apples to oranges.

no, it's about the West, where Muslims are a minority and Christians had traditionally been predominant.

The entire concept of"Islamaphobia" is a Western invention based on post colonial white guilt.

I'd imagine because Muslims are a minority in the states.


Which is all that really matters here. It's the US political-centric filter at work, from people on both sides of the isle (Neither party really has a monopoly on people with an opinion, who don't really know or care about issues past whatever is being volleyballed between Fox/CNN/MSNBC that week.)

So then why are places with a muslim majority not in such a state where it's more taboo to criticize Islam than Christianity? Wouldn't that occur...if this really just boils down to "well it's cuz they are a minority" ?
