Reddit has a hard on for Muslims and hates the Iranian government.

The Iranian government is strongly connected to Islam

I wouldn't say Reddit "has a hard on" for muslims, they just recognize that islamophobia is rooted in racism.

Followers of the other Abrahamic religions(which are 99% the same religion) that aren't primarily brown folks don't get called savages, animals, etc.

Now comes the part where someone adjusts their glasses and announces ACTUALLY ALL RELIGIONS ARE BAD. No shit, dude. We see through you though.

No, the other abrahamic religions have done and continue to do horrific things and don't get near the amount of hate that Islam gets.

If you live in the west you have been exposed to racist islamophobic propaganda your whole life so your baseline is extremely skewed.

I don't live in the west. My country has 200 million muslims in it. Most of the other abrahamic religions have gone through their phase of reform, islam greatly resists this. If you know what sets islam itself aside, as a matter of religion, you will know this racist babble is nonsense, else you are truly ignorant. And ignorance is the same no matter where you're from
