P.S. Sorry if this has already been spoken about. I'm sure every atheist has come across this in one form or another.
Comparing and contrasting is a tool we use to analyze things. Some people think that when the topic is Islam, we should not use that particular tool. The motivation for not wanting to use the full arsenal of reason on this topic is probably the same as any other time you're asked not to use reason: it's not very convenient for your position. If you can't even discuss other religions without being accused of some kind of deflection, how will you figure out if they're equally bad?
No worries, topics repeat in forums, that's part of the territory.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
