Example, people can talk about some Christians and their desire to control issues/govt and influence government. I think the same can be said about other faiths as well (but mentioning them by name gets one a lot of flack).

I am a Christian myself, but despise what the faith has become these days. I feel the same about other 'fundies' of other faiths - but sometimes, here anyway, trying to expose the same issues when it comes to other faiths, is seen as hate/bias.

Mention Christians and their influence on something, no problem. Mention the same with Judaism/Muslims/etc and suddenly you get labeled a hater or someone thinks you just don't like that group and are biased.

Why the kid gloves for other faiths? And I am not talking in general when it comes to society, I mean here on DU. Talk about C street and dominion style Christian folks and their desire for influence, and we are all over it - replace Christian with another group though and... well you are seen as an anti-Semite or rw'er for talking in broad brush strokes against Muslims.

Either we use the same measuring stick for all or we don't, and right now it seems like we don't. The reason seems to be - talking about conspiracies in regards to other faiths is seen as promoting hate, but other times it is seen as being vigilant.

Which is it?
