(36,385 posts)This bunch have only gained notoriety over the past 24hrs with that really ugly stunt. But when it comes to finding fault with what religion teaches, I'd say those who can only do it by focusing on one religion and using sources that are acknowledged hate sites (eg religionofpeace.com, barenakedislam.com etc) and fixate on 'teaching' others that moderate Muslims are a tiny minority amongst Muslims, or turn around and blame European Muslims for the hate aimed at them by extreme RW groups, those folk are bigots as they clearly move far beyond finding fault with religion to the dangerous and ugly territory of stereotyping Muslims as a whole.
Disliking those who aren't like them is an ignorant trait that while much more common and coarse amongst the Right, does seep into the Left at times. Antisemitism, racism, homophobia and sexism are all ones along with anti-Muslim bigotry that get more traction than they should amongst a small number of left-wingers who should know better
