All of the above are considered "racist" by liberals.
If you want a country that's homogenous and xenophobic, you're living in the wrong country. I hope you realize that.

This country has been the center of diversity for over 250 years, with a large combination of Northern European Protestants, Southern European Catholics, Chinese Buddhist, Mexican Catholics, Jews and African-Americans. Preventing Muslims from entering the country or forcing them adopt our religion and culture is against the constitution. If you don't believe in the constitution, then you aren't even an American and I think its you who needs to be taught about our culture.

You can't be a feminist and pro-Islam.

You simply can't.
I think most liberals accept that Islam is a fairly conservative religion.

The funny thing id, it's in clb10's own citation.

Three thousand years of tradition instruct him that circumcision is the best means to this end.
What with Islam being only about 1200 years and all, there's a bit of a logical disconnect.

Since when are liberals responsible for a religion that is thousands of years old? Seriously.....

Aspects of most religions are sick. If that makes me a liberal or conservative or anything else you want to stick a lable on then so be it.

In the book Infidel, Somalia born, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, tells of her Grandmother holding her down while another older lady living in their tribe circumcised her with a crude knife and no anesthetic or pain killer of any kind. She could do nothing to escape this ritual and the terror she felt. She eventually left Islam and nearly paid the price with her life. Women are not treated as well in Somalia as the family dog. If they have the misfortune of being raped, it is considered their fault and they are usually killed by their father or a brother. This is known as an honor killing. The way things are going in the United States I suspect it won't be long and "Shariah Law" will be recognized in the US, probably in Michigan. The only way to stop this is to stop Islam, and I don't think Liberals or Conservatives will have any say in the matter. I suspect the foothold the Muslims have here is too strong to stop it.

According to tea partier Herman Cain, liberals killed Jesus.
