Why do some liberals here defend Islam from the actions of terrorist but denounce christianity for the actions of a few not sanctioned by religious leaders? Ms. Prejean was dragged through the mud for answering a question on gay marriage, her answer in line with her religious views; but in many muslim nations, just being gay can get you put in prison or executed.

It shows, for one, how shallow liberals really are.

I dislike religion in general.

What I really dislike even more are hypocrites and the reason Christian individuals like Prejean get dragged through the mud is because they don't practice what they preach - she is also kind of bringing it on herself via keeping herself in the limelight, but that's a whole different thread.

On the other side, there are people here who will defend extremist Christians as not representing the whole, or not really being Christians at all, but then denouncing the entire Muslim faith due to the actions of their extermists.

I don't judge all Christians based on the acts of Prejean, just like I don't judge all Muslims based on the acts of Osama Bin Laden. I actually come from a VERY Catholic family, but my family members that are religious do not judge others and do not push their religion on me.

Practice what you preach and don't push your views on others. Don't judge the actions of an entire religion based on the acts of a few.

This is the type of intelligent answers you get out of liberals when they have no answer to the issue. How sad this genetic line of wussies are.

...because Islam like Christianity has never killed anybody, terrorist/murderers of both religions have.

Yeah right. Islam kills everytime an honor killing is performed under the name of Islam. Forgot about those didn't you?

Why do some people lump everyone who says something they don't like into Liberals?

You'd have to give some examples of someone denouncing Christianity while defending Islam.

Prejean was dragged through the mud because she lied, posed in porn pics and violated the rules of the contest. Her desperately trying to blame it on something else just makes her look worse.
