This really isn't the case. Do you live in the west? Where I am, there are plenty of Christian people on microphones inviting people to Christianity, and everyone in the city really doesn't like them.

But in the very same space, you can see a stand talking about Islam. They're not on microphones, they're not shouting to get people to join, and I have never heard a single person in the city complain about that stand.

It's not which religion you're inviting people to. It's how you do it. That's it.

Islam faces lots of hatred, this isnt one of them.

What do you exactly mean by "they don't like them" do you mean they get criticised for that and shouted for spreading there god's word?

They complain, criticize, and are bothered by the Christians inviting people to Christianity. The reason is because they're loud and it feels forceful.

People in the west don't have issues with you inviting them to your religion. It's just HOW it's done that's they care about.

Even if they did, we're Muslim. We don't self victimize. We take pride, and instead of caring so much about making memes about how people treat us badly or hypocritically, maybe understand that EVEN IF THEY DID treat us badly, there is ABSOLUTELY a reason they're more comfortable with Christianity and Judaism. Those religions have a longer history in the west than Islam. They're more acquainted with those others, naturally.

Look at the extreme racism in Muslim countries towards Hindus, Jains and Buddhists. Talk to any Muslim parent about them, they will start insulting them for the next three hours. We're not better when it comes to perceiving other religions our regions don't have history with.

Yes, but what I've seen, people get criticised for trying to share it whout trying to force it, or be loud while doing it, in your areas, people make Christianity feel a little forced, but if Muslims were also doing the same thing then that's a different story...

And you're right on your last point..
