Btw, what's with the liberals supporting muslims?
Islam literally goes against every liberal idea.

I strongly dislike Islam because -- in common with other irrational belief systems that seek to control people with myths, fairy tales and superstitions ultimately backed by the threat of heavenly (or earthly) punishment for dissenters -- it's an ideology that fits into the liberal secular humanistic society that I believe in about as well as a square peg in a round hole.

But that doesn't mean you can't separate the human rights and civil liberties of the holders of a belief from criticism of the belief itself. (No ideology is, or should be, immune from criticism.) There's no contradiction between being willing to criticize Islam as a flawed ideology and being willing to defend Muslims from injustice or violence -- any more than there's a contradiction between pointing out that Scientology is a fraud and insisting that Scientologists are entitled to constitutional rights.

However, liberals should also fight tooth and nail against giving sharia law an inch of extra space.
