Deflection.
Why are you so defensive of a religion that treats women and gays and free thought and intellectualism like this?
Please explain, without deflection or diversion or distortion.
.
I have never defended Islam. But I will fight against you fools attacking people that are my neighbors and that I work with who are innocent. Don't forget that you conservatives share most of Islam's religious beliefs. LIberals are the ones who fight against those. You used to have Muslims on your side because of that.
"You conservatives"? I voted for Hillary.
Oops.
The people I agree with on this topic, such as Sam Harris, Dave Rubin, Richard Dawkins, Camille Paglia, Christopher Hitchens (RIP), Maajid Nawaz, Bill Maher and others are LIBERALS.
Oops.
And they're all horrified by what you people are doing.
.
Don't you think it's possible that to discuss what is good about Muslims without you throwing that label out?
Of course. I just find it highly questionable when the Regressives are so willing to attack and mock Christianity at every opportunity and go into spin mode with each jihadist atrocity.
That's why Maajid Nawaz, the brave and brilliant British liberal fighting for a Reformation, coined the term "Regressive Left".
.
Yet you have people who attack and mock Islam at every opportunity, like this thread - delegitimizing them at every turn. They're unAmerican, unpatriotic, pedophiles, yada yada yada.
To me it seems a very one sided attack and in this thread - no one is defending extremist atrocities, but you bring it in.
What about history and the OP's attempt strip Muslims from our history? Though truly...I shouldn't even take it seirously because it's such obvious troll bait, not discussion.
