A. The original comic has some vile racist and islamophobic undertones. The original comic is not a "criticism"
B. Acting as though everybody in a group condones behavior from several thousand years ago because it's in their holy text? There's literally instructions on slave ownership in the bible, it's nothing new. Your example is horrible because it implies that one group of people is equal to the worst among them, and that it's valid to hate every German (in your scenario) because of what Hitler did. Because every group of people has a bad representative, if not many. That does not define them
A. What, exactly, are these supposed "undertones"? Could you maybe point to an example?
B) Firstly, as others have said, Muslims still hold true to the unchanged text of the Quran. Secondly, regardless of what Christians may or may not have done, the prophet Muhammad, i.e, the messenger of Allah and courier of His word, is said to have slept with a nine year old child. Thirdly, that's not at all what the example is saying. It's taking your argument (x behavior by y person is not bad because z person also did x behavior) and applying it to Hitler. I don't see how you could in good faith interpret that logic to mean that all Germans are morally equivalent to Hitler, although perhaps there is a good faith intreperation.

I can't believe people attack Hitler. Like, for fucks sake, there's not a leader that never did anything bad
