This isn't fair to the members of any faith. It's a generalization that probably does apply to some people but it certainly is not true of the rest.
Which part do you think I got wrong?
Do the hells of any other religion bother you? if not why would the Christian hell bother any one else? would you say that believers in other religions have got it wrong? would you think they say the same thing about you and your religion?

It serves to illustrate what people can be made to believe, all religions other than the one they believe sound ridiculous to people who don't believe that religion and equally has absolutely no impact on people who for some unknown reason think that their religion is somehow true, it's mind boggling, to be religious one must obviously be taught how to suspend all enquiry into their own religion, they feel able to pick other religions to pieces as much as they like but do not pick their own religion to pieces, perhaps it's because they know they will find the same faults in theirs as they do in all the rest.

This isn't fair to the members of any faith. It's a generalization that probably does apply to some people but it certainly is not true of the rest. Even with the example you used of Islam and pigs, there's a reason for such thinking, and although the admonition is taken to an extreme, many people would say, the basis is to be found in Judaism and the Old Testament, both of which Islam borrowed from.

What you got wrong was assuming that all members of any particular religion are an indistinguishable whole. There may be some, even many, of my brothers & sisters in Christ who are ignorant of the actual tenets of Islam, and who believe the foul distortions that they are taught by professional fearmongers. But not all. Many (perhaps not most) of us are actually curious about the other Abrahamic faiths, and have exerted ourselves to learn about them, often by actually conversing with actual Muslims. Therefore we know that pigs are not "Muslim Kryptonite".

There are, likewise, some, even many, Muslims, who are ignorant of the actual tenets of Christianity, and who belive the foul distortious that they are taught by other professional fearmonger. But not all.

Mr. Trump has a very good brain and is not in need of liberal, really, really unfair lie-checkers. He is his own fact-checker and vetter of truth and beauty. He is the Trump.
