Where do Christians get this idea that atheists defend Islam

[abaris]

The idea that atheists as a general rule defend Islam is just BS. Although I do believe some PC people, both theists and atheists, avoid criticizing Islam out of fear of being accused of so-called "Islamophobia".

I've never seen even a single one doing so. The only distinction I and many others are making is between Islam and muslim. The same distinctiion I make between christianity and christians and judaism and jews.

It's only that this distinction isn't made in the public at large these days. The formula these days is, Islam equals muslim equals radical. And that's just wrong. That's why I and others come over as more vocal in order to put things in the right order. It's not in defense of Islam, it's against presenting yet another scapegoat. But it is in defense of people, one thing that is most important to me.
