So, it looks like pointing out that faith drives ISIS makes you a bigot in DU's eyes [View all]

Threads that point out faith standing behind the Brussels bombs get alerted on as 'bigoted', and barely stand; many replies in them that call the DUer a 'bigot' for posting it are left untouched. I alerted on one such post - its only content was to call the thread starter a "hateful little bigot" - and the jury left it 1-6.

This is one time where I really do think DU is giving Islam a pass - and that it wouldn't give Christianity a similar pass. If there's some LGBT bigotry that is cleared inspired by a Christian group or belief, DU is happy to point out the culpability.
