I’m a vegan so I support abolishing cow farming, and Islam is also one of the most harmful religions.

The second clause doesn’t have any connection at all to the context of the article. The person who happen to be a Muslim is a victim in this article, not a perpetrator. It’s like saying, “hey this is a follower of a harmful religion. So he somehow deserve it.” And, it’s somehow ironic when the harmful act conducted by the perpetrator is by a person following a teaching of a certain religion, Hinduism in this case, but that religion is not even mentioned as harmful.

My take: There’s some kind of bias or phobia that can be interpreted from that statement.

By contrast, if the same statement is made based on a news article on ISIS terrorists, it would make sense and won’t get downvoted.
