It's just a common religious tactic. When they do bad things, they get angry at anyone who tried to call them out on it. Even if it's their own people, and they aren't doing it on purpose. Is the hate being supported by their religion? Yes? Then it's religious hate, and needs to be stopped.

Does it matter if it's one religion? Nope, they all do this shit. Radical christians, radical hindu, radical buddhists, etc... Call them out on their bullshit and hate, and you're the bigot. Well, fuck religion and the hate they all spew.

Well, fuck religion and the hate they all spew.

It's not really the religion though, basically all religions come with a set of believes in what is wrong and right and the hate-spewing war criminals will say it has to do with their religion, but they do not follow the believes set out by their religion. They are only using religion as a tool to gain power over the people that do follow the believes of that religion.

You're right, of course. The real problem, as you pointed out, is religious states.
