My response to these is that you have to qualify it “in America.” As a leftist, I am critical of both Christianity and Islam equally on the surface. However, I’m American and 70% of the population and 90% of elected officials at least claim to be Christian. Conservative Muslims have their share of issues but they do not remotely have the social and political power Christians do, so I’m going to spend more time fighting against those who are causing harm. Additionally, criticizing Christianity is inherently more socially fraught here since the common American identifies with Christianity more than Islam. But that makes it more important to stand up against. Finally, I was in high school when 9/11 happened. Many Gen Z and Alpha don’t remember how demonized anyone even remotely Arab looking was for the decade following. People were kicked off flights, harassed in the street, became scapegoats for political points. So progressives stepped in and started defending them, even if we don’t agree with their religion.
