Muslim hate speech is rampant across the media. But Muslims hardly ever raise a finger at such issues. However, when the issue is desecration of religion, Muslims go nuts.
This contrasts with Judaism. Anti-judaism speech is ok. Anti-semitic speech is not.
To me, it's more of a preference of identity. Either I identify me by faith, or I identify me by my people.
- brandonmenc 12y agoIt's not a perfect contrast because "Jewish" describes both a people and a religion whereas "Muslim" is only a religious designation. In the West - America, at least - religious bigotry seems more acceptable than racial bigotry. Bigotry against Muslims is not, then, the same thing as bigotry against, say, Arabs.
