Why the double standard with Abrahamic religion? [View all]

Criticize Christianity.. that's considered enlightened progressiveness.

Criticize Judaism.. that's considered enlightened progressiveness.

Criticize Islam.. GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE YOU RACIST ISLAMOPHOBIC KNUCKLE-DRAGGING RIGHTWINGER!!!

We have no problem blaming Judaism when Jewish extremists attack and kill Palestinians. We have no problem blaming Christianity when Christian extremists shoot up or blow up abortion clinics. But when Islamic extremists kill people in Paris, San Bernardino, or Brussels? Nope, it has nothing to do with Islam, the religion of peace, and if you dare suggest otherwise then GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE YOU RACIST ISLAMOPHOBIC KNUCKLE-DRAGGING RIGHTWINGER!!!

Why? Because of conservatives? We should base our approach on reason, and if we value constructive criticism of one belief system that involves an imaginary friend in the sky, we should value constructive criticism of ALL belief systems that involve imaginary friends in the sky, especially when their followers think their imaginary friends instruct them to kill. Regardless of what conservatives think about any specific such system.

If conservatives magically embraced Islam and began preaching against Christianity and Judaism, would that be a logical reason for us to suddenly allow criticism of Islam but flip out whenever someone criticized Christianity or Judaism? Nope. No belief system that encourages its followers to fight the unbelievers or discriminate against people based on their gender or sexual orientation - things all Abrahamic religions do - should be exempt from criticism.
