why is it that when "christians" don't get to ignore rules that apply to everyone else they bring up muslims doing something or other as if it were a viable argument and not a juvenile attempt to build a false demon to replace themselves... at the turn of the century it was the irish and the italians; african americans are still being scapegoated so nothings changed there, the hispanics are apparently all rapists, the hatians all have aids. poor poor white protestants.
Sorry Mala, but Muslims are brought up because Islam highlights the hypocrisy of attitudes in most cases.
Every time the way Muslims treat people is brought up, Muslims drag Christians into the argument, even if a Muslim is debating an atheist, Christian history gets a mention. Not just muslims, but the non-muslim "liberals" drag Christianity into it to defend the Muslim position
People also get tired of being called out as hypcrites by a group of people who grossly overlook their far worse level of hypocrisy currently in the world.
the ones that have been mainly responsible for the discrimination faced by minorities and also whine the most when they think that rules don't apply to them in this country are.
Same can be said for vast majority off places where Muslims are the main group, often Christians are made into scape goats and targeted. Also Muslims bemoan over and over how awful we are in the west, yet rarely hold yourself responsible for the rough treatment of minorities where your co-religionists have power.
So if "White Protestants" as you specifically stated are mainly responsible for the discrimination faced by minorities in the west, that means your religion, Islam, is mainly responsible for the treatment faced by minorities in Islamic lands and their second class status in history.
Now I know you'll reply to this, justifying your stance and horrified at the notion of "holding Islammainly responsible", even though your posts clearly indicated "White protestants" are main responsible for oppressing minorities, because I am just using your own criteria against you, but when we do it, we're hypocrites and unreasonable. I know from experience you'll take exception to this, that its unfair, hypocritical and unjust to hold Islam mainly responsible, yet its okay for you to hold white people and protestants mainly responsible for the treatment of non-white and non-protestant groups
But Muslims, the same people who bleat over and over about "Islamophobia" and being oppressed, never are hypocrites when they mainly overlook it when Muslims are persecuting minorities or worse still, try and justify it, when the way Muslims treat minorities is far worse than anything they face in the west. To the Muslims the bogeymen are the Christians, the Jews, "Westerners", all throughout history Muslims have had groups to blame also, however you're not wholly responsible for this and feel you have the "right" to complain about Islamophobia, though your religion has always attacked others and forced your sharia on others, the Christians of the Ottoman Empire hated Islam and had revolutions for that very reason.
Yet the "white" Protestant (and most likely all Christians in the end of any group) are not allowed to complain, because o their treatment of others.
As usual with most muslims who claim and shout "hypocrisy" they usually highlight their own bias and hypocrisy in the same paragraph.
