Why are Atheists afraid to insult Islam and Jews?

[Cephus]

The French should, the Muslim who recently took hostages at the Jewish Deli was black.

It was a grocery store from what I remember, may have had a deli in it. But there was a Muslim also who helped hide Jews preventing them from getting killed.

I was thinking deli because the Muslim in question hid Jewish customers in the walk-in refrigerator but you could be right.  It doesn't really matter since the whole point was that the Muslim terrorist in question was black, not Arab.  Islam is not a race in any way, shape or form, no matter how you contort it.

No, it won't destroy religion, but to a lot of religious people, even questioning their religion is the same as direct, personal insults against them.  They cannot see their religion as anything but the core principle of their self-image.  Heck, look at the Middle East, atheism absolutely has to be synonymous with walking on eggshells, if it comes out that you're not a Muslim, you face being ostracized, imprisoned or worse.
