I'm trying to decide if there is any material difference between making a Catholic pedophilia joke and the Muslim 42 virgins joke.

Add jokes about Jews and circumcision to the pile. None should be off limits.

I can see a material difference between making a catholic joke at random and doing a Muslim joke after their country bomb the pope equivalent and family.

Imagine a Catholic orphanage being bombed and someone joking about how they'll be molested by priests in heaven or some shit. This isn't a joke in isolation, it's a joke downplaying real material harm, in this case the collective punishment of Iranians for daring to resist.

That's because you refuse to learn from history.

One of those is very real and verifiable in the material world.

I already noticed that you are a dumbass in your previous comment, there's no need to reaffirm it

On Real Time with Bill Maher, Bill Maher criticized the rally, saying that while Stewart and Colbert meant well, the message of the rally promoted a false equivalency between the left and the right, noting, "the big mistake of modern media has been this notion of balance for balance's sake. That the Left is just as violent and cruel as the Right ... there's a difference between a mad man and a madman."

So wouldn't that make the Catholic one worse?

If they do remove it it's because you're being rude and antagonistic, and not every exchange is worth keeping (ex: if people promote conspiracy theories, bigotry, etc)

It is my understanding that the 72 virgin narrative is derived from several hadith which mention 72 houri. What exactly the houri are seems pretty complicated from an outsiders perspective.

According to LLMs there's no actual source for this

The concept of "72 virgins" for martyrs in Islam is widely considered unreliable by scholars and many Muslims, as it is not found in the Quran and is based on weak or contested hadith (narrations).

And it links this page which seems to confirm that https://www.justislam.co.uk/does-the-quran-really-promise-islamic-martyrs-virgins-p-216.html

Look, I don't know shit. I'm just going by Wikipedia.

The Sunni hadith scholar Al-Tirmidhi quotes Muhammad as having said:

The smallest reward for the people of Heaven is an abode where there are eighty thousand servants and seventy-two houri, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine, and ruby, as wide as the distance from al-Jabiyyah to Sanaa

Jamiʽ at-Tirmidhi

There are six things with Allah for the martyr. He is forgiven with the first flow of blood (he suffers), he is shown his place in Paradise, he is protected from punishment in the grave, secured from the greatest terror, the crown of dignity is placed upon his head—and its gems are better than the world and what is in it—he is married to seventy-two wives among the wide-eyed houris (Ar. اثْنَتَيْنِ وَسَبْعِينَ زَوْجَةً مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ) of Paradise, and he may intercede for seventy of his close relatives.

You're literally citing the "Islamophobic tropes" section and leaving out the line where it says it is deemed unreliable. You are either extremely stupid or extremely dishonest.

The comment was literally just racism against Indians, which isn't just bigoted, but also completely irrelevant to the conversation.

If you believe racism against random groups of people should be allowed in the platform you're either extremely ignorant or an asshole.

Or, if you understand why this kind of content would be removed, check the modlog next time instead of throwing accusations and inadvertently defending racists.
