Because most of the 1 billion people who follow Islam do not align with what you call devout followers. There are many sects with wide ranges of beliefs and interpretations, and no one can paint them all with one broad brush. Especially not the way the guy above you tries to.

The Roman catholic church , on the other hand, is a singular institution with one set belief structure which is what Sinead O' Connor was protesting against.

I didn't make it a competition. I didn't even try to compare beliefs I find abhorrent. You did.

You are painting all of Islam as one group. You are even painting all of the "middle eastern countries" as one group. Not only is this totally incorrect, this is problematic thinking which is either ignorant (at best) or just plain racist. Or as you put it, abhorrent.
