Anti-Christian wear is cool & brave; What about anti-Islam?

====Quote from story:====
Atldax insists he has a purpose beyond selling denim: to make young people question Christianity, which he called a “force of evil” that had sparked wars throughout history.
=========================
I'm all for blaspheming Jesus and Christianity. But who's brave enough to blaspheme Mohammed and Islam? That blue jean label with an upside-down crosss, dare the maker to add a besmirched crescent-and-star? What hipster would dare wear it?

Proposed T-shirts: One reads, "Jesus was a fag"; other reads, "Mohammmad was a fag." Care to take a bet on which leads to beatings and death?

It's unfortunate all religions don't have a passage in their scriptures similar to Mathew 5:11,12 -- Blessed are you when men cast insults at you, and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, on account of Me. Rejoice, and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

And don't forget the whole turn-another-cheek thing!

There's probably something written somewhere suggesting the true power of a faith can be measured by how gracefully they suffer persecution. In that regard Christians should score well.
