This was photoshopped. I believe it originally said Behead those who insult islam.
Not much better, is it?

Not much better at all, so it makes you wonder why OP would post the shopped version and undermine his credibility when the countless real posters are just as terrible.

It's easier to attack christianity, because beating a dead horse is easier. Islam is a horse that kicks back. And since most people are political correct cowards, people stick to beating the dead christian horse.
Of course people dont want to be entangled into the growing hatred of muslims. I understand that. But i see that just as much as a symptom of the problem of Islam, as racism is a problem.
Islam is what keeps many muslims from integrating into western society, because devout muslims can only be loyal to the ummah, the borderless nations of muslims. And too many muslims in the west are feed hatred of the west through their saudi funded mosques and imams.
If we savagely attack islam all the time (as we do christianity) then we can help to free muslims of islam. Attack islam and defend muslims. It is that easy.
This picture is good, but the headline of the post is stupid. It implies that there is no problem with people not attacking islam, eventhough there is (if people could pull their head out of their political correct arseses).

We're on the internet. People aren't worried about backlash.
However the simple fact is we are (mostly) ex-Christians and since we attempt to be intellectually honest, we don't mock Islam or other religions much because we simply don't know enough about them.

As a man who has dealt with the insanity of the middle east first hand; yes, this type of attitude exists. It may not be normal, but it is vocal.
Fuck this shit, fuck what Islam is now. In it's current form it is as bad as Christianity in the middle ages.

I'm sorry, a forum on the internet doesn't go "after" people

Radical/hardcore anything is never good. You don't want your beliefs mocked, so why is it okay for you to mock others' ?
And don't say "because I'm right and they're wrong" - until you die, you really don't know what happens.

Wait, why should r/atheism be after anyone? To assume that all Muslims think like this, which seems to be the general attitude here (I've seen a lot of stuff about "attacking Islam" and "attacking religion"), is not only ignorant but militant-sounding in itself. This really isn't much better than what we are all opposed to. It's fine to calmly expose and lampoon religious beliefs, but to actively go "after" and "attack" generalized religious groups is very misguided and is what gives us a bad name.

Original photo next to OP's shopped version.
The original is still horrifying, no doubt. There's no need to mislead people though.
