OMG you win RNF

On the issue of conservatives vs progressives on the topic of Islam, it seems to me that the majority of Americans of all political parties have had enough. Plenty of prominent liberals have voiced their disapproval of Islam as a religion, because the religion as it is practiced in most of the world goes against every principal that liberals fight for. Yes, there are plenty of exceptions, but there are also those on the religious right who think that essentially the Charlie Hebdo people had it coming for their "religious intolerance."

I'm a research scientist, so I tend to run with a pretty intellectual crowd. Even among Americanized Muslim scientists, I see a great deal of intolerance. A Muslim scientist I work with refuses to eat food if he thinks it was prepared by an atheist. Wtf? That's some down-right intolerant shit. A female Muslim scientist I used to work with had a very difficult time finding balance in her life, because the combination of her dream of being a scientific researcher and her strong faith made it very difficult for her to find a boyfriend. For several years the only Muslim men she could find who were OK with her pursuing a career and driving a car were not devout enough for her.

If so, then Christians need to stop even printing the Old Testament, because many still seem to not have gotten the memo and continue to quote it to justify atrocity.

"We have to put a stop to the idea that it is a part of everybody's civil rights to say whatever he pleases."

--Attributed to Adolf Hitler

A movement which cannot tolerate and forcibly opposes criticism and satire is by definition unethical and oppressive. Attempting to appease those who want to dominate the world never ends well. Such a movement cannot be reasoned with, allied with, or trusted to keep its promises because its ultimate goal is the enslavement or destruction of everyone different. Those Imams don't hate you because of what you say. They hate you because you exist.
