I continue to wonder why progressives are so protective of Islam
Homophobic, sexist, anti-Semitic, pro-theocracy and anti-free speech. These ideas are all well within the mainstream of contemporary Islam.
Islam falls well short of the things progressives believe in.
And the fact that there are Christian fundamentalist wackos is no reason to give Islam a pass.
And it seems that whenever atheists mock or denounce evangelical Christians they are applauded by progressives, but when those same atheists (like Bill Maher) similarly mock or denounce Muslims there is either silence or anger from the American progressive left.
Try,what is the evidence of pure evil? for 1000
Wonder how long this will last.

8. And what is calling the Catholic religion "one of the most offensive organizations that has ever existed"?
And calling the Catholic Church "the Mafia on steroids"? And Pope Francis a "bigoted son of a bitch"?

7. That's because the question is mis-stated, the question is why progressives support
human rights for everybody (even when they are wrong), then it makes perfect sense.
Huh?

13. Because we're aware of what happens when an entire class of people is demonized
Especially when that class of people has no power or meaningful representation in our own society. Fundamentalist Christians have plenthy of power and influence in our society, while Muslims - fundamentalist or no - have none at all. So when a bunch of black-shirted firebrands start up yelping about how all 'those people" are to blame for the actions of three dickheads, yes, defensive lines form among actual progressives.
And yes, I am making a distinction between actual progressives, and those for whom progressivism is a fashon statement or, in yoru case, a fig leaf to justify hate.
The leftist mindset in a nutshell.

The left identifies with Islamists because both are hateful, closed minded, and rageful. They share common hatred and goals. Need I say more?
-
Even the most moderate of muslims are antifeminism and anti-fag in the extreme. Almost all believe fags should die.

Hypocrisy has no bounds when it comes to the left. :whatever:

The most extreme Christians in this country believe that murdering unborn children is wrong, and shouldn't be funded by taxpayers.
The most extreme Muslim will behead you in the name of his "prophet."
Dummies look at both of these individuals, and fears the Christian.

Carl had an interesting take on this same subject in another thread.
He concluded that the lib fascination with the "religion of peace" was 3 fold.
But I won't steal his thunder.
I hope he comes and expands on my insufficient relating of his thoughts.
I loved his reply.
If he doesn't come and expound I will link to it.

29. And protect victims even more!
They have been the victims of the xians for centuries. The xians want them dead so we naturally want to protect and support them.
The low post mole is trying too hard.

11. Perhaps it's because many can't distinguish between a so-called
Christian baker who refuses to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple and a state sponsored religion that will behead or hang that same couple.
I join in your confusion.
However, this low count troll won't last.

They also share a common enemy...America.

Exactly. Democrats manage to unite so many polarized minority groups, such as gays and Muslims, who are natural enemies of each other, but join together over their greater hatred of America.

Flame bait? This is a VERY VALID question. I applaud bluestateguy for asking a tough question that he knows will get him closer to a tombstone than ever before. It's scary that they support a whole group of people/religion that is homophobic, sexist, anti-Semitic, pro-theocracy and anti-free speech. Mind blowing.

I appreciate your kind words and here was what I posted.
First,they view them as a comrade in arms to an extent,after all they hate American capitalism just as they do so how can it be all that bad.
Naturally they feel that as a gratitude for not impeding them they will be spared the horrors of an islamist state.
Second is that it shows the lefts world view as hopelessly failed,there is actual evil that needs to be defended against.
This means that resources (money) has to be used to that end and that means those dollars can`t be given to them.
Lastly is they have a common enemy in Israel.
Nothing infuriates the Godless hatred of the left more then the existence of a Jewish state and its Biblical implications.
The vast majority of the left would happily see Israel destroyed tomorrow.
I will let the DUmbasses expound as they illustrate and occasionally admit each.

154. Not being protective...being antiwar...
The great concern, I think, is that joining in outspoken denunciations of "Islamic extremism" will be taken by the Right as an endorsement of further U.S. military intervention in the Arab/Muslim world-perhaps even of the insane idea of bombing Iran.
Yes, religious extremism, like violent extremism of any stripe, needs to be condemned-but there's no way to moderate any form of extremism through the use of military force.

141. Because the RW dislikes Islam.
The Left often at least tacitly embraces anything the Right disregards.
That's pretty much it, and there isn't a lot of room for debate. Everyone on DU would rather relive the Bush years than live under Islamic rule and law. Know how I know? Because we lived through Bush and everyone is here to tell the tale.

21. A few points.
1) Muslims are a vulnerable minority in the West, making them very easy targets for hate crimes and otherization. Christians aren't; they're well-established in the cultural, religious, and political framework of the West. See also: "reverse racism", substituting white for Christian.
2) A lot of ire directed at Islam is so often blatantly two-faced. There's a select group of atheists who beat the drums for war against Islam, justifying it by claiming to stand up for women. At home, however, they treat women in secular movements like trash and go off on misogynistic tirades. For them, it's a war against religion, not defense of progressive values.
3) The obvious point: there are simply contrarians who will defend anything or anyone that falls into the role of current enemy of the West. Completely unprincipled
And before anyone implies otherwise, yes, I wholeheartedly believe Islam, as well as the other Abrahamic faiths, is incompatible with liberal democracy; however, I've no reason to treat Western Muslims any different than I would treat any other religious group, so long as they keep their religion out of our government.

48. We see it as the enemy of Christianity which is associated with the GOP.
Their hatred of anything that is a Bible based religion on that thread is literally demonic in nature and speaks volumes about where their minds and souls are ruled by.

Fixed. And 'Falls well short' is a ridiculous understatement, try 'Is the very antithesis' for a more accurate turn of phrase.
It will fall on deaf ears at the DUmp anyway, all that matters to them is that Islam is an oppositional force to conventional order in the West, and therefore your fellow DUmpmonkeys can't say a bad word about it.

You should plan a hiking trip to one of these Muslim countries, Jen. So you can protect and support them. It'll be great!

Better yet, take a long drive in Saudi Arabia. Be sure and stop to ask on of the friendly native cops for directions, they'll be delighted to assist you. They're SooperExtraHelpful to women who drive there, donchaknow.

Yeah, that would be a big fashion hit!
They'd probably want to take a real close look at it to admire it, too.
Hope it comes off easily though, because in their impatience they might accidentally remove your pretty little empty head.
