Why do Atheists defend Islam?

[Catholic_Lady]

I do think the Islam ideology, as it stands right now, has one major issue - and that is that it can be easily taken in a way that gets many people do many heinous things.

On May 27, 1096, a Crusader army led by Count Emicho of Flonheim entered the walled Rhineland city of Mainz, hunting down and killing Jews.

The Mainz massacre, in which an estimated 600 Jews were murdered (although some reports put the number at over 1,000), was one of a number of attacks on Germany’s Jews by bands of armed peasants from France and Germany, at the start of what came to be known as the First Crusade.

Wow, came quicker than I thought but at least I already wrote a response to it, so here it is again:

 

I do think the Islam ideology, as it stands right now, has one major issue - and that is that it can be easily taken in a way that gets many people do many heinous things. It needs some sort of reform. And for those of you who immediately say "well Christianity blah blah blah," yes, I get it. Christians have killed many people too, in the past. Trust me, if Christians were running around right now killing thousands of people in the name of Jesus like the Islamic Jihadists are doing in the name of their god, I would be condemning the hell out of their behavior and saying the same thing I'm saying about Islam - that we need a reform and that this needs to stop. Like I said, I have nothing against good Muslim people practicing their faith peacefully. But I hold them to the same standard that I would hold my own Christian faith to and that I hold myself to: condemn every attack in the name of your faith.
