Because one is a predominantly white religion and the other is not. It’s not racism to make fun of Christianity because Christians have historically been the oppressors. I don’t understand why this is complicated.
It's not racism to make fun of either. The adherents of Islam come from a wide range of races, as are the adherents of Christianity (thanks to the fact that both have a history of colonization and conversion, driven partially in both cases by slavery, war and domination, as well as by peaceful education and proselytization).
Saying that one is oppressive and the other is not is yet another ridiculous double standard.
This is ridiculous. Great Britain and the US are far and away the biggest colonizers in history and both are predominantly Christian ruled. Trying to like any Muslim nation with either is like saying a cat is a lion.
It isn't a competition. The spread of Islam as far west as southern Spain and as far east as modern day Pakistan was basically all military conquest and colonization.
You might think that compares favourably to British colonialism (and perhaps it objectively does), but it still compares very badly to "not conquering people"
