Just putting it out there no one made the generalization that all Muslims were not peaceful. The doctrine of Islam is a set of ideas that is meant to be criticized and ridiculed. It's a backwards 7th century religion that in direct translation from Shariah and the Sunnah condones beheading & stoning homoloveuals, honor killings, killing of apostates (or people that leave Islam) and makes the claim that beating your wife is acceptable. Criticizing a set of beliefs is not "ignorant" and not all of us adhere to your set of views.

Deal with it Progressives.

i was really confused at first and it just now occurred to me what the point of this was

tho it's being framed as a islamic problem and not an LGBT problem, ofc the two aren't mutually exclusive
I guess it's a little deceptive to act as though an Islamic radical's view of something is representative of the Nation's view of it, though. The point was that acting as though LGBT people are now treated equally is actually false.

condones beheading & stoning homoloveuals, honor killings, killing of apostates (or people that leave Islam) and makes the claim that beating your wife is acceptable. Criticizing a set of beliefs is not "ignorant" and not all of us adhere to your set of views.
I'm pretty sure I could find Bible verses stating nearly the same things. Both religions also say to give money to the poor. You don't see many Christian terrorists this day and that's because most Christians live in the first world. (sorry africa)

This I can get behind. I'm starting to believe that the progressive movement is: "defend everything," where even as a liberal, we need to question subjects, not just go up in arms when somebody questions the "peacefulness" of a religion, group, etc

there's nothing wrong with criticizing islam; there is something wrong with making broad generalizations about a very large group of people because you're extrapolating that onto individuals who each have their own experiences and volition

assuming that everyone (or a majority) who follows islam is somehow indoctrinated with some extreme murder doctrine just because they read it in a book once is not okay, and it's just a lazy conclusion drawn without considering all of the political and socioeconomic factors that actually fuel middle eastern unrest. if your entire life sucks and everything around you sucks and your government sucks and it isn't doing anything about it, terrorism sounds like a pretty good political tool. we see a different common denominator here, and that's the real disagreement. people aren't worried about inclusiveness or lovey-dovey hand holding, they just see different inputs to the same output

ideas and people are different things, people normally adopt ideas because they confirm their already-existing biases. it's an iterative process.

Do progressives realize that being gay is a crime in 12 Islamic countries

Was I ever defending Christianity? However, I will say this. All religions are not created equally. Christianity underwent a reformation and its adherents were the founders of liberal Western Democracy. In our country when someone makes an offensive caricature of Christ they aren't beheaded or shot or forced into hiding. Above all, freedom of speech is the most important freedom we could ever have. Islam is a totalitarian belief system that is against all the values we hold dearly in Western civilized society. Muhammad killed those who criticized Islam as did the succeeding caliphs and most Muslim countries. Infact, Ayatollah Khomeini the religious leader of Iran issued a bounty on the head of Salman Rushdie for simply writing a book that criticizes Islam. It doesn't get any more totalitarian then Islam.
