Especially when the same people bash on western culture. It does happen and even on these boards but is hardly common amoungst Atheists. Most Atheists are very critical of Islam. I would say even the most critical of Islam.
No, it doesn't happen. It's only that some of you are unable to make a distinction between Islam and muslim. And if I haven't made myself perfectly clear already, I step up against that kind of bigotry and not in defense of any religion.
Oh, and what I hate most, is uninformed talking out of the ass. Which happens pretty frequently. Without giving any regards to the multitude of different ethnicitiies, cultures and countries being majority Islam and throwing them all under the same blanket.
I don't know about your country Abaris, I can only speak to mine. Yes, it does happen here in America. Yes, it is a thing.
Here's a video of Bill and Sam talking about it. Obviously I don't agree with all their sentiments here, but they are 100% correct in pointing out the double standard. I am not a fan of these men but they hate Christianity as well, so they have no dog in this fight and are being objective. The way Ben freaked out only further proves their point.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
