There are very valid things to be considered when criticizing Islam. Xenophobia is undeniably often the driving force behind it, conservatives doing it are usually incredibly hypocritical about the whole thing, one should be careful about separating between a religion and the people practicing it etc.
But this outright denial of reality, that some liberals are exhibiting, is baffling.

It's not that baffling imo it's a mixture of being clueless (most are from places with no Islamic communities) and feeling like heroes for defending what they see as a 'victim' group.

Y'all genuinely don't see the subtext of both of you steepening in anti-Islamic rhetoric during the migrant crisis that's been going on in your countries for years?

I don't get singling out Islam like Christianity and Judaism aren't **** too.

Exactly. If Islam was a white religion it would be the posterboy for religious evil. Since they're brown and we feel bad about colonialism we have to look the other way.

More like colonialism is the reason Islam is in the state it's in in certain places so pretending it's just a problem with Islam is bigoted.
