Why do people on here act as if Islam if no worse than any other faith?

RE: Why do people on here act as if Islam if no worse than any other faith?
I feel like The Abrahamic religions in general are the worst religions because they openly proselytise. You can't live in a predominantly Christian or Muslim society without running into people who are intolerant of your personal life choices. When these religions are given power, that intolence very rapidly escalates into violence.

And in the 21st century, that's the difference between Christianity and Islam, power. If radical hardline Christians want to push for legislation to suit their agendas, their movement will be squashed by secular laws and social ridicule across The Western World. When it's hardcore Muslims? They not only have financial and political backing by several Islamic states which are governed by Sharia Law, they also have white-guilt-ridden Western apologists delusionally defending their "culture" like it's so benign and advanced. They can get organised.

It's a conservative culture overall. I know there are liberal Muslims out there, who are feminists, LGBT, secularists, they do exist, they are out there, but that's not the same as Islam as a whole culture being such. It's still a conservative culture overall. People are a product of their environments and their upbringings, if you are raised in ultraconservative religious surroundings you are more likely to grow up conservative. That's not a bigoted idea, it makes sense.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable."
