>That’s because as a Christian, you enjoy the benefit of being the majority religion (assuming you’re in the US). You get a break on your holidays, nobody questions your traditions, and nobody really disparages you.
If that's your perception, you can't possibly have spent any significant time in the USA in the past 30 years. For at least that amount of time, Christians, and Christianity in general, have been openly mocked, disparaged and insulted in popular culture, university classrooms, in casual conversation, and all over the internet. (I'm OK with that, FTR.) For as long as I've been old enough to pay attention, it has essentially been open season on Christians in the US. Among the left-wing, educated class, there is virtually no social penalty for insulting Christians or their beliefs. Quite the opposite, in fact.
It’s ok to punch upwards but don’t kick down.
That's just an arbitrary rule, made up by you. I suspect it's because you want to maintain the status quo I described above, while keeping any public criticism of Muslims a very risky endeavor.
