Doesn't that just depend on what LLM you happen to be using? And doesn't Perplexity support many different LLMs?

  Sure, but anything built with "Safety" in mind is going to react this way. I guess "and more" means Mi{s,x}tral, which is happy to criticize islam while Clauda and Llama refuse.

I think this also has to do with most Western religions being much less strict. Islamic followers tend to follow all their rules pretty Stichting strictly (eg no alcohol, no pork, going to the mosque). Whereas in Western Christian religions things are pretty relaxed, except for some splinter groups. When I lived in Ireland my ex's family was pretty devout Catholic and they they didn't care about us living together unmarried. The same goes with the attitude to questioning religion. Nobody cares about "blasphemy" in the West but in Islamic countries it's a pretty big thing. I think this has its effect on LLMs as of course they are trained on real world conversations and writings.
