Why the hell do liberals still come to the side of Islam, and defend it like it’s a harmless ideology?

Must we push multiculturalism to the point of suicide, where we tolerate the intolerant ?

Liberals often talk about human rights, women’s rights, minority rights, gay rights, civil liberties, banning cruel and unusual punishment, and freedom of expression… SO WHY THE HELL DO LIBERALS DEFEND AN IDEOLOGY LIKE ISLAM THAT BASHES ALL OF THESE THINGS ?

True liberals would be the first to go if full Islamic law were established in the USA. Liberals seem all for Islam so long as it’s distant and can’t interfere with their lifestyle. And as for liberals who do live in Muslim countries, well, they’re walking targets for attack who probably wish they could be in America. Have you forgotten Neda?

The stale, old lines that liberals keep parroting to defend their support of Islam goes something like this: Violence in Muslim countries represents isolated incidents or human behavior that is present in any society. Or, some liberals will also argue that “Christian Crusaders killed many people a thousand years ago” or “the Bible talks about some harsh punishments too.”

Blah blah blah… just more hot air from ignorant leftwing nuts. The fact is that these liberal arguments are not valid.

There is good and bad everywhere, yes, this is true. However, TODAY, in the REAL WORLD, radical Islam represents the greatest threat to peaceful civilization. Most so-called “Christian” nations today are actually secular democracies that separate church and state. Muslim countries on the other hand are often zealously religious and fanatical theocracies.

Islam mixed with politics is a deadly combination, and it has been since Mohammed first rode around Arabia beheading people and forcing them to convert. Islamic nations have strict laws that oppress their own people under threat of violent retribution.

Here are some fun facts about life in certain Islamic countries where the “religion of peace” is law. Liberals ought to think this over:

Rape victims in many Muslim countries are punished… let me repeat… THE RAPE VICTIMS ARE PUNISHED for being raped with a beating, more rape, or murder.

(2)

Muslim girls not yet even in their teens are married off to much older men – in the US we call this RAPE, but it’s an acceptable custom in many Muslim countries.

Muslim women who reject a man’s marriage proposal may have acid thrown in their face as retribution (and the perpetrators are often not prosecuted).

Freedom of the press is null, journalists can be imprisoned on a whim, and freedom of speech is null, step out of line and it can mean your ass. (So that means no SodaHead blogging for you).

No alcohol or drugs allowed, under penalty of lashing or execution (so forget about legalizing marijuana).

Muslim kids in Palestine and Iraq are told by clerics and imams that blowing yourself up as a suicide bomber against the infidels is a one-way ticket to Paradise.

Foreigners and minorities are marginalized. In fact, by Saudi law you cannot even enter the city of Mecca unless you can prove that you are Muslim – THE ENTIRE IS CITY IS OFF-LIMITS!

(And yet ironically, Muslims can visit centers of Jewish or Christian importance like Jerusalem or Rome).

Travelers with a passport stamped in Israel, including even non-Jewish Americans, are denied entry into many Middle Eastern countries due to anti-Semitic policies.

… and the list goes on and on. You can add some points of your own because there are plenty.

So, liberals, tell me why posting the truth and questioning Islam is offensive?

(Of course, trashing Christianity is acceptable, but questioning Islam is blasphemous).

Tell me why it makes sense for you to tolerate an intolerant ideology that is anti-liberal and against your own values?

Tell me why defending an ideology of hate makes you a better person?
