This is always some weird red herring that gets trotted out whenever progressives criticize Christianity. I can only speak for myself personally, but I recognize there has and always will be barbaric aspects of most major religions, and that they should be called out when those acts are committed in their names. The most likely reason that Christians get called to the carpet more often by Western progressives is because they wield a tremendous amount of influence that actually contributes to the poor treatment or denial of rights to certain sections of Western society, whereas Muslims in the West do not.
