That's maybe part of a more general "perceived inability of some Muslims to handle polemics against their religion with grace" (from the article). Searching for "bobblehead Jesus" vs "bobblehead Mohammed" on Amazon is a good example of that.

The more disturbing issue is the ECHR's ruling.

It’s like telling someone “your opinion doesn’t matter cause you’re ugly/old/young”.

A post is either relevant or not, regardless of when account was created.

I don't see the relevance of the account age as long as the person is engaging in a healthy discussion.

However, I have noticed that in other comment sections, such as those on „Der Spiegel“, some people attempt to dismiss the opinions of users with recently created accounts as well.
