Back to Burkhas!

Why is it that liberals are so unified in their defense of Islam and consistently expound its virtues while bashing and limiting the spread of Christianity?
Here are a few reasons why liberals are insensitive, at best, but more likely inconsistent, incomprehensible, and perhaps even a little insane.

  1. Liberals love women's rights. A steady, unfaltering mantra echoing from the Left for decades has been women's rights to vote, women's rights to hold jobs/earn pay equal to men, and women's rights to choose. But Islam prohibits a great number of women's rights. Religious prohibitions regarding marital rights, divorce rights, inheritance rights, and women's equality in general still abound in Islamic Governments throughout the Middle East. Honor killings, the murder or women who have 'dishonored' their families with premarital sex are still happening today Women, without permission from their father or husband are not allowed to drive, enroll in universities. German courts recently started a trial where a Turkish man is being accused of shooting his sister who lives a "Western lifestyle" and was learning to become an electrician. Are liberals really able to defend a religion that allows things like this to happen?
  2. Liberals protect gay rights. Well, guess what? According to many Imams, their interpretation of Shari'ah law demands the death penalty for homosexuals. Even conservative Evangelical Christian communities who believe homosexuality is a sin will never demand death to a gay man or woman! Why don't the Cindy Sheehans of the world protest this violently homophobic ideology instead of the war in Iraq (that will bring a democracy that will most likely, directly or indirectly, put a stop to this kind of radical homophobic thinking)?
  3. Liberals who espouse hatred toward the American government—if Radical Islam didn't view them as allies—would most likely be beheaded by "insurgents" (I prefer the term, "terrorists" because it far more accurately describes their singular purpose for existing) for their liberal thinking if they had their 'druthers. Are these guys kidding? Do you think Hillary Clinton would be allowed to speak the way she does and hold high offices the way does if she were under Shari'ah law? In an Islamic world, Hillary would be wearing a burkha, denied the right to speak in public, given a clitorectomy and then executed if she complained about it!

Ah, yes, the virtues of the Great Religion of Peace!

Why endorse a set of ideals that will put women a thousand years back in time? Why bring democracy to a nation and place only ballot measures that will deny the voter the right to vote? Why lovingly invite a gay couple into a room and lovingly leave them alone with 30 armed and a violent homophobes? It makes no sense!

Liberals, for some reason, cannot wrap their small minds around the concept that the use of freedom of speech to espouse hatred against the very Nation that provides you with the freedom to securely to speak against said Nation and to endorse and protect a religion and a religious people who are the very antithesis of the freedoms that you enjoy is categorically illogical and borderline insanity.
