The whole thread should be erased. In my opinion it isn't about religion. This is a difficult emotion to translate into words. The whole conversation is in bad taste.
The easiest way for me to describe my thinking is to relate something that I've experienced many times. We've all heard immigrant jokes and put downs? Line me up with my neighbours, have a conversation with me, highly unlikely that one would assume that I am an immigrant, and when I point out that I am I am told that I am different than the ones being talked about. But if you could hold up a microscope to my soul, they would see that I am no different than the ones being joked about or put down.
The discussion of the thread being discussed has torn families apart, nations, even divided the world at times. It isn't being discussed in the interest of understanding.
I think you have been quicker to jump on someone for cursing.
