Why do Atheists defend Islam?

[abaris]

"Well like the other day they had a Muslim on there they were interviewing and they asked him if he agreed with what Isis is doing. Like, why did they even ask?? Of course he doesn't agree! And they always report what is going on in the Middle East." 

And why shouldn't he? Do you remember anyone asking christians if they agreed with Brejvik, although he claimed to act as a christian warrior? Do your recall anyone asking christians if they agree with abortion clinic attacks? These questions are reserved for muslims and so he's rightfully outraged. Why should they be asked to distance themselves when the same question isn't asked in case of christian or jewish nutters?

It's a double standard, plain and simple.

Why did they even ask, is a very valid question.
