Why doesn’t the same happen for Hinduism? It’s mocked relentlessly and is predominately practiced by non-whites, perhaps even more so than Islam, but we never hear any worries of racism for it. Why do we worry for one religion and not another? What about Judaism? It’s perhaps the most mocked/satirized religion throughout history and the only one that actually shares its background with a race, but we never worry about racism towards it like Islam?

Are you sure about that? Do you even know what is happening in India ever since Modi's party got into power? Please don't talk out of your ass.

Oh okay I missed one example lol you got me.

What about Judaism? You left that question unanswered. If we’re really that worried about racism, I would think we’d be more cautious when it comes to mocking anything Jewish-related, wouldn’t we? But that’s not the case at all as their religion is mocked and satirized freely.

What about Judaism?

Uhm look at Zionists? Seriously?

Just because you think these religions are fine with comedy (they're not but those voices are miniscule) doesn't mean they're fine with everything you say about those religions.
