I always hear liberals claiming their ideology is "progressive," "open-minded" and "modern."

Tell me, what is so progressive about treating a woman as if she's a commodity to do as you please with? What is so open-minded about female genital mutilation? What is so modern about stoning people to death?

I'm always baffled whenever a Christian says something politically incorrect, and you get frothing-at-the-mouth lefties describing Christianity as "backward." But when someone says the same of Islam, those same liberals jump on a grenade in defense.

Why is that?

Why the glaring hypocrisy?

1. A lot of liberals do not support Islam to begin with. Oftentimes conservatives are just putting words into our mouths.
2. Those who do are usually very multi-cultural and think it is politically incorrect to simply dislike something that is alien and exotic; I think it is dangerous, though, to believe that everything is just as good as everything else, Some things are superior to others and there is no point in not saying so.

Pfffft...how can any thinking person support ANY religion. They're all backwards.

I'm a liberal and I don't support any religion. I only support your right to practice it (while I laugh at you).

Hey, I have an idea. Why don't I start a thread in which I make bogus claims that all liberals approve of and support Sharia law and female genital mutilation and stoning people to death, and then I can berate them over my pretend claims? Yeah, that's a great idea for a thread.
