The reason I am less "accepting" (not sure that's the right word) is because I don't believe conservatives really believe what they say they do. They voted for Trump who is the opposite of everything they profess to believe in. Obama is practically a saint, beautiful family, lived in the White House, they had a garden, such a nice family. But they chose Trump, the guy who appears to use religion as a political tool, married three times, publicly cheated, three families, brags about grabbing women, etc. Conservatives voted for that, so I don't believe them.

Yep. Hear if from a trans who used to be an SJW "warrior" (lol) and that's exactly why they do it:

Never once realizing that as soon as those they "support" get what they want, the libs will go down right along with the so called 'evil white male oppressor'.

If it ever came to be, I hope that every last idiot who supported this remembers this as they are being ground in to a pile of skin and innards.

I would say they honest- Not talking about radicals who are dumbaxxcrazy-- the general population of muslims just honest- where conserves- are soooooo forked tongued-- I have a problem of --do as I say not as I do- and then God forgives when it is convenient for their sins- and they do NOT follow any of the WORD but quick to condemn others of it- they are the pharisees not the samaritans -

That sums it up well.

Islam and Sharia law go against just about everything a liberal person stands for and yet they bend over backwards to protect them and never criticizing them.

I think the problem is is that Muslims are a tiny group here and they are perceived to have minority status hence the PC approach.

Facts are facts and Islam is really not all that compatible with western values. Sam Harris does an excellent job of thoroughly laying this out. He's a great thinker and is bright guy on this subject.

We would all be better off without the Left's political fundamentalism.
We don't need that religion pushed on everyone else that does not share those views try as they may.

That's a load of crap. We just don't go out of our way to demonize every single Muslim on the planet because of the actions of a few. Which is exactly what the right does, again and again and again.

Another example of craziness. Do people remember when the Iranian azzhat Ackmadinnerjacket spoke at NYU. He said something along the lines of "we don't have gays in my country" there was an audible laughter from the audience.

Some people are just moronic. Homophobia and flat out denial of it's existence is a good example of said morons.

Liberals don't welcome the teachings of Islam.

They embrace the concept of freedom of religion.

Big difference.

What ever it takes to sleep at night, I guess. The only liberal that I've heard critize Islam is Maher. Just about every other liberal is silent or glosses over the negatives within Islam.

This thread isn't about Christians so I'm sure why it's been referenced here so much. I'm not real thrilled with them either but at least in modern times they ain't going around knopping off people's heads while saying "god is great" I mean for the most part we aren't hearing a lot of bad stuff these days from them. Some maybe of course.

I haven't read the entire thread and you're not the OP so what does it matter to me that you've said that you hate all religions. Good for you. I couldn't care less.

I'm very ambivalent about religion in general myself.
