Can someone explain to me why a religion made by a pedophile-barbarian is somehow tolerated and even defended against "islamophobia" (is e.g. a gay guy phobic for being scared of muslims that given power would throw him from a building or persecute him in some other way at least)?

Their whole ideology (as it basically governs every aspect of life) is crude, vile, barbaric and dangerous. The animosity towards them is well grounded, anyone saying otherwise should read their "holy" scriptures and just analyze how they behave when having majority (muslim countries)

Have you read the Old Testament? Christianity has plenty of barbarism in it.

Your comment is slightly abrasive, however, it is worth discussing.

Every Religion has been warped by humans at some point to gain wealth or power, I think Islam has seen the worst of it. What was meant as framework to help people be happy and treat each other with dignity has turned into a destructive force used to justify crimes.

No, this is not "worth discussing" on Hacker News. It attracts bad users (I mean the ones who have no intention to use this site as intended) and evokes bad comments.

Litigating religion is profoundly not what this site is for. Those of you who crave that, please do it elsewhere.
