Maintaining a balance between being a SJW or an alt right

You're very right about this. The Islam/Muslim issue is the best exemplar of this, whereby there aren't too many people expressing views which are deemed to be moderate. You either end up criticising Islam very harshly, or otherwise it seems as though you are affording Islam special treatment and trying to protect it even though you have no such compunction about criticising Christianity in the harshest terms (and then people will point out your hypocrisy). It's a very polarising issue wherein both sides of the issue repel each other towards the opposite extreme, and I started out quite moderate on Islam but felt pushed further and further towards what some would deem to be the 'alt-right' side (even though there's really nothing right wing about me) because I perceived that there was some kind of hushed reverence towards Islam from the very people who would be very outspoken against Christianity.

It also seems to me that the people who defend Islam are actually being extremely patronising towards those who are not white. So if they are in conversation with white Christians, religion is really stupid and you are intellectually feeble for believing in it. But then when the topic is Islam, the same people are waxing mellifluous about the wonders of multiculturalism and how it's truly a beautiful thing that some people have such a passionate commitment to their faith. So you see a marked shift in paradigm away from making fun of religion because it's stupid (which is what someone such as myself wants to discuss in relation to ALL religion and not just Christianity because they're mostly white which makes it safe to call their religion stupid).

I fear exactly the same thing, and those fears are well grounded. For example, Islamic nations have twice lobbied the UN to implement a global blasphemy law with special protections for Islam:http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/09/25/muslims-blasphemy-law-uk-un-mohammed-youtube_n_1912004.html

Also the former leader of the Labour party in the UK had promised an anti-Islamophobia law if he was elected (he wasn't). Canada is currently in the process of looking into an Islamophobia law. Ireland and New Zealand have recently updated their blasphemy laws at the behest of Muslims.

Basically the Muslims and the useful idiots who are supporting them will use the 'slippery slope' fallacy to claim that if criticism of their faith isn't shut down altogether, it will end up with another holocaust. I have seen this argument used numerous times back on the old board from atheists who seemed otherwise reasonable.
