Specific things about Christianity are complained about.

Everything is complained about. More widely than Islam, too.

That doesn't mean bigots aren't out there spreading islamophobia.

Who said they weren't? This is a complete strawman. I never said nobody hates Muslims, I said complaining about Islam is not bigotry, and you bringing race into this and playing the "if you criticise this you're a RACIST" is pathetic.

And if you think race is the only kind of bigotry going, I have a bridge to sell you.

Never said that. That's another strawman.

I think you'll find I explicitly mentioned homophobia, misogyny, and hatred of infidels in my comment. All things absolutely rife in Islam. And yet, here you are indirectly condoning those viewpoints.

I'm a bisexual Indian immigrant. I'm very, very well aware of bigotry. And complaining about backwards hateful religious rhetoric isn't bigotry.

What a disgusting bigot you are. Throwing groups that are treated as subhuman by Islamic institutions under the bus just so you can have some falsified moral high ground by calling everybody who doesn't like Islamic extremism a racist.
