The Liberal Hypocrisy When it Comes to Islam

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?

Why do liberals defend ANY religion? They should only defend the ones that you approve of. And everything else that you approve of. Say it ain't so.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Because they need their votes.

I'm left wing and I don't defend any religion... and to be honest, I think Islam is probably the worst one. I've actually made the argument on this forum that Islam is highly anti-egalitarian and goes against pretty much everything the left stands for.

But I don't think all Muslims are violent or overly dogmatic and I see very little point in hating someone simply because they're dumb enough to believe in a religion.

I feel the same way about Christians-- some of them are totally cool and even though I don't believe what they do, as long as they're not preaching to me about what I should think and how I should act, we can probably get along.

But of course, this might be too complicated for some right-wingers to understand.

So in other words, the OP hates all "lib-ruls"….except when they agree with him?

Dunno, do they still teach Voltaire in the "South"?… "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it." Except here we just call it "Democracy".

I'm not liberal but I always thought freedom of religion was a pillar to the creation of our society. I think the real hypocrisy when it comes to not defending religious expression. I think our government should attempt to defend any religion that gets persecuted in our country.

I'm not religious but I find the hilarity in the Liberals walking on egg shells when talking about Muslims but when it comes to someone talking about religious beliefs and contraceptives, well then...all the hate for Christianity comes out. I'm not right wing religious guy either, just another observation of liberal hypocrisy.

Conservatives are ignorant, liberals are hypocrites who attempt to present themselves as the morality police.

Because for them, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Their "enemy" is conservative Christians. They see radical Islam as the enemy of conservative Christians (though in reality radical Islam is the enemy of everyone except radical Islam).

Yep, this is also what I believe. We have become a fractured country, not sure how much longer it will hold.

Interesting take, never thought of it that way even though I think I don't think it boils down to something as basic as that.
