Well the subject of "religious bigotry" and a double standard that is applied to Islam is bound to come up eventually, so.........

Islam has special status that none of the other major belief systems do. Islam bills itself as a comprehensive system that encomasses the legal and political organization of society, as well as the devotional, and the domestic. This makes them open to criticism that I for one would never level at Jews, Mormons, Baptists, Zoroastrians, or etc.
