It’s a trick that atheists like to use.

When the subject of their ire is a Cristian or a Jew, they talk specifically about Christianity and Judaism, and how they are just evil and stupid.

When the subject is a Muslim, they switch out Islam or Muslim and replace it with generic “religion”.

Yep, that’s precisely their M.O.

What's the "trick"? He's on record as saying that he doesn't like to criticize Islam explicitly because he has a family and is worried about what might happen to them (which is a very strong implicit criticism of Islam), but I don't think he'd argue that Islam, Christianity, Judaism and the others all weren't religions with things in common.

Maybe I've missed something but most of what he says about Christianity does relate to Christianity as an example of religion, rather than to specific points of Christian theology or belief. In what I've heard from him he's saying religion is dumb, not that Christians specifically are dumb or evil. And he doesn't talk much about Judaism at all.
