Did I miss the memo where random Muslims suddenly deserve to be attacked?
I care about all religions ignoring the poison it is. But not in the context humans falsely paint the word "poison" as. The use of the word "poison" is not advocating mass genocide of any religion. Only a monster would want to use genocide as a tactic.
"Poison" is when you read a bible and come to the bullshit conclusion that the earth is only 6,000 years old. Poison is when you read the Koran and say "Hey I have theo right to mob rule and behead people". The words that lead humans to these bad conclusions are a direct result of the words being written at all. No and again, that is not saying even burn holy books. I think everyone should read a variety of holy books from around the world.
Religion is poison like the failure to accept that a gun is a gun, or a volcano is a volcano. People will want guns, but worship of them does not mean humans wont kill with them. Volcanos can produce land, and enrich soil, but they do explode from time to time. Religion is like saying "I am going to ignore my diabetes" because I love the food that I should be avoiding.
"Poison" is a word of pragmatism, not a call to genocide. It is accepting that when you leave it unchecked because of the absurd claims and naked assertions, religion can lead otherwise what could be decent humans to do horrible things to other humans. It is a word like an airbag, a safety belt. What prevents the poison from things like Isis or the Dark ages in the west, is the medicine we call secular law. Secular common law is the medicine that maintains religion to a more civil level.
The west points to the east and rightfully calls Islam poison. But Islam is a religion, and so is Christianity, and the underpinnings of the poison words in the bible, have lead to the same mass horrors we don't have to deal with because of the secular leash.
