Why do atheists and liberals like Islam?

[scoobysnack]

This is such a strange thing, but I've noticed over the years that liberals and atheists prefer Islam over Christianity. We have terms such as Islamaphobe for example. Where I live in Madison, the freedom for religion foundation doesn't ever go after Islam, but goes after Christianity. Doesn't really go after Judaism either for that matter. Why do the left and the atheists support Islam? Do they support the stoning of women who commit adultery, or throwing gay people off roofs? Do they prefer women have their clitorises cut off for female mutilation? Do they want to walk around in a halloween costumes or bee keeper suits known as burkas? What's up with the left/atheist love Islam? I can understand the left at least because they are all about privilege, but for atheists, that's another story I'd like hear about.

Well I would say that corn cob should go in your ass, and that if you don't support sharia law, you will die as an infedel. Are you islamophobic?

QED

Err... what?

I'd say people are way more scared of Islam, particularly those in the public spotlight. This probably causes them to toady around it more than they would if they were talking candidly.

"Islam" is nothing, really. All religions are nothing. It's a collection of ideas, that's not in any way fixed. I can "be a Muslim" yet say the bible is the word of God and the Quran is bullshit. Legally, I don't see how anyone can stop me. Any particular person can say I'm not a "true Muslim", but they can say that anyway and it carries no legal weight. Sure, people are pretty likely to copy most of the other people in the religion, but it's all entirely arbitrary. If they join a particular denomination and then explicitly support what that sect "believes", then that is their choice. They don't have to join any sect, they can just make up their own one with whatever bullshit they want.

It's all bullshit, so there can't be "wrong" bullshit. Religious beliefs clearly are not required to be internally consistent, or consistent with reality, even superficially. Religion is just an extreme and dangerous form of superstition, nothing more. Some more openly encourage danger by perpetuating oral myths about the divine nature of disgusting cult literature. This includes, regrettably, Islam and Christianity.

Well some religions apparently have priveledge then.

Feel free to contact the http://ffrf.org/ to start going against Islam. I think they are actually scared of a terrorist attack against them, which is a major reason everyone is scared of the "religion of peace".

Holy shit, scoob, I just can't for the life of me think of a pragmatic reason why FFRF et al focus on Christianity in the US.

Oh wait. Yes I can.

Scooby, your religious views are... true? Isn't that a redundant statement?
