The above article was written by a Progressive/Liberal which I am NOT but it begs to be addressed.
The left going nuts over American Sniper is further proof of the blatant HYPOCRISY that comes from Liberals when it comes to Islam.
Why does a group that champions gay rights, abortion, women's rights, etc... defend a religion that basically stands for EVERYTHING that they are against?
Members of the KKK are self-professed Christians. Do you really believe they are?
Why is there reason to believe self-professed Muslims who have no problem killing other Muslims from different sects bare any different?
Professing to be a religious person doesn't make it so.
Thats a very odd position for a Liberal, considering most people engaged in the hard sciences, where you employ Scientic Methods, are traditional Engineers and Scientists, and not very Liberal. We lean Conservative because we are practical and Pragmatic, not so religous. If we employed Liberal principles, planes would be falling out of the sky, Boats would be sinking, and bridges would be collapsing.
Engineering isn't based on political ideology. It's based on... well, math. Liberals and conservatives are both able to do math.

Unless you're just flat out lying, yes, it does make it so.
No, it really doesn't. It goes deeper than that. Whatever label one chooses to wear does not necessarily indicate what they are or what they believe down deep.
Ever hear of a sheep in wolf's clothing?
There are many Muslims who present themselves as 'moderate', though they don't use the term. There really is no such thing as a moderate Muslim. Either they don't know the religion and are Muslim in name only, or they do know, and support it in full. According to Islam, a 'moderate' Muslim is an apostate. True Islam will go after the moderate, after the liberal left, and after Christians with equal zeal. Why liberals don't recognize this is a mystery.
That's a 200 pound brush you're swinging there. Saying everyone who is a Muslim is against everything in the United States is rotten tripe at its most disgusting. Anyone who believes that huge generality is foolish. It's the same as saying that all Jews hate America, all Buddhists hate America, all Hindus hate America, and all Christians who have 'Reformed' in front of their church's name hate America.
Muslims live all over the world. Just like all the rest of the religions I mentioned, and a dozen others I didn't mention.
American Sniper is just a movie, for God's sake. It is nothing but another passing entertainment. By this time next year, American Sniper will be nothing but another DVD in the bargain bin. And since it is neither accurate history or anything but another war movie, it is proof of nothing at all. Liberals, Conservatives, and Nothing Politicals all go enjoy a good shoot 'em up war movie.
Trying to conflate a couple of hours of entertainment into a grand discussion of who champions what or not is silly. There is no proof of hypocrisy in it or proof of anything else. All I can see is one person's opinion.
You sure saw a lot more in American Sniper than I did. It was an OK movie, but I liked The Hurt Locker better.
A SIMPLE Google search will show the amount of Liberal OUTRAGE over American Sniper. To pretend it doesn't exist is disingenuous at best. Just a few days ago there was story after story about the supposed snub of American Sniper/Eastwood at the Academy Awards and even die in wool Liberals in the audience were caught on camera refusing to clap when it was mentioned.
All of that is trivial compared to the Lib's that were calling Kyle a racist, murderer, etc...
Again a SIMPLE Google search will enlighten you to what MANY on the left think of American Sniper, Eastwood and Chris Kyle.

lots and lots of liberals liked the movie very much.

Same flawed logic as Obama using the Crusades to show that all religions kill.
Sure the KKK is a Christian based terror group BUT how many KKK are there TODAY killing anyone?? Same goes for any Christian group here or anywhere that is involved in mass killings.
Are all Muslims terrorist, absolutely not but some figures have said around 10% of the Muslim population are extremist. With a population of over a billion 100 million violent jihadist should concern anyone regardless of your political affiliation. Some Liberals get this but far too many like Obama choose to turn a blind eye OR talk about the KKK or Crusades when the real threat is on the news for some atrocity every day!

Let's face it, all religions are guilty of this. Muslims can call themselves Muslims and look past the parts of the Qaran that order them to smite the non-believers and spread Islam by the sword. Likewise, Christians for the most part do not follow the ten commandments in full. Really, how many people actually observe the Sabbath in this day in age?
Or the following gem:
You are not to covet your neighbor’s house. You are not to covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
So essentially, you should never feel envious about anything your friends or neighbors own. But that's dumb. We should always feel a degree of envy toward those who have it better than us. How else would we improve our current condition in life?
The point is, we all decide to skip parts of the bible/qaran, et al as see fit because they were books written centuries ago by people who have no connection with our modern world.
It is getting hot and heavy...........Lefties sticking up for, making excuses for the Islam, downplaying the horrific butchery performed by the Jihadists.
Horrific slaughter of Syrian Christians...............Left's response......WELL, the right wing Christians in the USA would slaughter non-Christians if they could!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate it when lefties stick up for The Islam.
