As Bobad says...
... and are also unable to distinguish between religions who are benign, even tho as absurd as all religions are, and those whose activities are based on violent proselytisation and a definded mission to wage war, whether literally or merely ideologically, on all others.

Islam is one of the foremost examples of this latter type; and its real adherents would, & indeed do, despise any who claimed to be their co-religionists who asserted otherwise.

So to refuse to distinguish between religions, as eg Musket self-glories in doing, as equally ridiculous, without taking into account their various stances with regard to missionising, proselytisation, opposition to the rights of expression or practice of other religions, literal application in today's world of the more extreme injunctions of the original founders [stonings, death for apostasy, floggings for adultery, which means any sex SFAICS] -- such denials of any distinctions constitute, I say again, the thoughts & actions of fools.
