This works both ways. When a theist scientist has his work rejected because it is bad science and the theist tries to muscle the other scientists with the objection, "It's because I'm a theist isn't it?", then Hmmmmmmmm as well.
This reminds me of the time the great basketball player Bill Russell hosted Saturday Night Live. There was a story in the news at the time where somebody had been arrested for something for which he was clearly guilty. He happened to be black and just looked totally ridiculous when he tried to pull the race card and claim he was being persecuted because he was black.
Bill Russell let himself be the butt of the joke in a skit on the Show where he pullied one ridiculous stunt after another and each time he was criticized made himself look even more ridiculous by objecting, "It's because I'm black isn't it?". For the final punch line they had his mother show up and tell him how full of bs he was and he even stooped to pulling the race card on his own mother.
Sadly, race often is a factor in our society so it's no wonder the race card gets pulled so much. And of course it would be a shame if religious views intruded on evaluation of scientific work. However, I don't see evidence for it in this Damadian case.
