Why do Atheists defend Islam?

[Mister Agenda]

355 mass shootings so far this year. 0.56% of them carried out by Muslims, who are 0.9% of the populations. I think you're engaging in poor risk assessment.

I'd like to see those numbers in Muslim countries.

It's hilarious, when one speaks out against Islam and the danger that said ideology has, the first people that tend to rush in to defend them are Atheists. Not all Atheists are like this, many of them aren't, especially the most public ones like Dawkins and Harris, but there's no denying that many Atheists are.

It's kind of troubling for these same Atheists who will sit there and bash on say Christians that don't wanna make a cake or don't like abortion, but at the same time defend a religion that stones women to death for the crime of being raped. They defend that in the name of multi-culturalism and cultural relativism, but don't apply those same standards to the culture of the religious majority in their own country, which is a big double standard.

Either all culture based on religion is bad (which is my position,) or there is no primitive and civilized culture and all cultures must be respected (which is the shittiest position to take.) Anything else is just applying standards to one and not the other.

You'd like to see those numbers in Muslim countries because the numbers in the country you live in are insufficiently alarming?

It's okay and appropriate to criticize Christians for not being willing to bake a cake: the Christians who won't bake the cake and the Christians that support them not baking the cake. It's not okay to say that Christians are unwilling to bake cakes for gay weddings, because there are plenty that will. It's not okay to say Christians are homophobic, because many aren't. It's called being able to make distinctions. If you are consistent, then pointing out those distinctions means I'm defending the religion. You'd be a consistent idiot, but consistent.

There's a difference between defending Islam and defending innocent Muslims. You're not hearing anyone say Islamism is a good thing or adulteresses should be allowed to be stoned 'because it's their custom'. That atheists are defending the practice of stoning women being raped is an assertion. Have you got anything to back it up? Any atheists who think refugees ought to be allowed to stone anyone? This is sheer fantasy on your part.
