So is there a reason people don't post hot-takes about Muhammad and the Quran?

Just saying. I’ve noticed this page has gotten pretty popular lately. It's easy to poke fun at Christianity, people have done it all the time, with no repercussions. It's gotten so common and predictable that it's not even controversial anymore. But where's this same passion to cut on Islam? Why are most people so afraid to bash it? Its followers are far less diverse than Christians, Muslim treatment of women and LGBT is less progressive and more bigoted than Christians, and the Quran is no more pure than the Bible. Muslims are more widespread around the world now, so it's not like their beliefs are isolated to the Middle East anymore. You'd think it'd be ripe for hot-takes, but it's not. Help a fellow out here.

He's got a page on here, so it's not like people can't post anything about him on this website:

As you can see, there've been a few posts, but nothing like with Jesus. I am not calling for people to engage in antagonistic behavior or harassment, if there are those that want to have a religion, that is their right, as long as practicing their religion doesn't bring harm to others. What I am doing is pointing out this blatant double-standard and asking why.

Why are people so easily jumping on the anti-Christianity band-wagon, but leave Islam alone, when from a modern liberal standpoint, it does everything Christianity supposedly does but worse? It's one thing if you people just wanna have a genuine mature discussion about religion in general, that's fine. But that's not what I'm seeing here, I’m seeing trolling and hot takes and blatant hatred for one but not the other.

even though the obviousness of it is sooooooo clear i'll explain it for a simpleton like you.

1. we live in the west. where Christianity makes up 90%+ of those religious. For example in the USA jews make up 1%. muslim 1% and christian denominations were 67%. the rest either agnostic, atheist or non affiliated.
2. they have large advocacy groups, interest groups and political power
3. they vote in blocs to influence politics and force their religious "morals on others"

theres a reason western anti-theists dont largely go after Buddhists or hindus or others. but im not against it by any means. I will and have made posts criticizing muslims, especially hijabs. no ridiculous religious group is out of my purview of criticism

But gain Muslimsa rent the ones whoa re a massive voting block and political influence trying to, and quite capable of, forcing their religiosity on others, which they attempt in the west.

why the F would I talk much about them?

how this confused you is stunning....
