You simply can't assume that they actually endorse a monster & are evil. Most westerners get this coz they live among them.

V different with Muslims in the west. Two extremes. 1) Assuming Muslims don't cherry-pick & sanitise & actually represent the worst of Islam

2)Assuming they all do & in the most tolerant & peaceful way possible (or Islam simply is that) because to do otherwise would be racist.

I used to be far too literal but I did know Christians weren't evil. The cherry-picking frustrated me.

I still think there's far more justification for 'you contribute to an abusive system by existing' accusation 4 religion than race or gender

Holding good men responsible for 'male privilege' seems less just than holding good Christians responsible for religious privilege.

And, of course, there's also the fact that religious privilege demonstrably exists. But collective blame doesn't really work even then.

Even when religion is a choice, people are choosing different things coz so subjective. So we have to judge individuals and their actions.
