    I know. Yet every time someone criticizes Islam on the internet, leftists jump in to accuse them of racism. I find this inconsistency weird.

      Those people are defending non-extremist Muslims, not all Islam. There’s a huge difference, though I don’t expect you to grasp it based on the general level of ignorance you’ve displayed thus far.

        Muslims are by definition supporters of Islam. By defending their beliefs, you are defending Islam.

          They’re not defending their beliefs, they’re defending their right to exist. It’s the same thing they do for Christians and Jews and Buddhists etc etc etc.

          See? I told you you wouldn’t get it.

            It’s interesting that they don’t extend the logic to, say, Nazis. I am Personally consistent on this: both Muslims and Nazis should have the right to exist, but not to force their views on others.

              I’ve never met a Muslim that wanted to kill three quarters of society, but that’s the only kind of Nazi you could ever possibly meet. It’s kind of their only thing. Tolerance of intolerance only leads to more intolerance. It’s why people who are lactose-intolerant should avoid lactose. Society is, by nature, Nazi-intolerant, Nazis make society shit itself.

                Tolerance of intolerance only leads to more intolerance.

                Then why do you tolerate the ideology that wants to kill atheists and homosexuals?

                  Christians? They’re pretty baked in to the American system, good luck excising that tumor.

                    Good thing I don’t live in the USA. Most people here are neither Christians nor Muslims.

                Eexactly as I said: you apply different standards to Nazis than to Muslims, even though both are a hateful ideology based on killing undesired people.

                  Go look at my comment history.

                  I’m not a Muslim apologist. I am not a fan of religion in general and Islam in particular. I’ve been downvoted to hell for being against Hamas and Hazbollah. So, nah, I’m pretty consistent.

                    Sorry, I assumed that from the context. In that case, your standards are consistent, which is fine by me.

      The problem is religious fanaticism. It doesn’t matter what the flavor of your extreme fundamentalist religion, the cyanide Koolaid it represents will kill you. Don’t think for a minute that extreme fundamentalist Christians wouldn’t do similar stuff.

        I definitely agree that fundamentalist Christians are also bad. Why are you assuming I don’t?
