Why have the left grown to respect and love Islam?

You have not addressed the question at hand. Why do the left actively defend and promote Islam?

I think the entire premise is absurd. You're wrong.

/thread addressed. Move on.

Non sequitur, much? That logic would disqualify the opinions of the religious themselves, for being inevitably biased in the opposite direction.

LOL I think rainy Islam is a bit more peaceful tho

I have, at least part of your question. I can defend it on grounds of freedom of believe and expression.

As for actively promoting Islam. What do you mean? I take promoting to mean "hey Islam is great, start worshipping Allah" or something comparable. I don't see many non-Muslims actively promoting Islam.




How often do you protest at these Islamic rallies?

If admit to hating all other religions then yes. If you hate something, what you say and think about it is based on emotion and not facts or fair evidence.

Why generalise the entire left as people that love Islam? So you're saying the likes of Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Stephen Fry etc aren't left wingers?

Again, this is a complete non sequitur. This would only be the case if somebody hated something before looking at it objectively. Hatred for something can and frequently does follow on from looking at it objectively. By your logic, it's impossible to rationally hate anything at all, which is patently false.

I have never attended a protest in my life or a strike. I have finances and academia to contend with to waste my time on such things. I find it strange how the left have time to protest against "the right" but not Islamic rallies. At least I don't protest at all

And I find it strange that you complain about people not protesting against the more regressive elements of Islam yet you are not prepared to do so yourself.

But the original poster is no longer looking objectively or debating objectively.

I have stated the point twice and you have missed it entirely lol. I said why do the left have time to protest against the "right" but not extremist Muslims? I hope that the 3rd time makes it clearer

The point is I'm not the hypocrite, the left are. I don't protest against one group over another, the left do

No, I haven't missed it. I just prefer people who take action. They change the world, sitting at your keyboard complaining about things achieves nothing.

I would stand on the policy of deporting every asian to start with- then the eastern European. Australians and Kiwi's can stay because a large percentage of them was originally British (British convicts from years ago) What i will not take is foreigners taking a pop at my country after choosing to come here. Islam is a threat because of homegrown terrorism i will give you some cities where i think Home grown potential terrorists live en masse

1.Bradford
2. Luton
3. Leicester

Are you suggesting to me, when the press did a release which suggested it is thought that there is around 450 ISIS fighters- or citizens who went to Syria and returned. This report suggests since ISIS has been a sufficient force in the middle east 450- have gone and returned from Syria.(http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/619639/450-jihadis-UK-homegrown-terrorists-copycat-attacks-ISIS-Paris)

Whilst it would be speculative to say that they are all ISIS members - a lot of them potentially could be and if they split in to regional groups and then go on recruitment drives, they could potentially be radicallising muslims in their regions, they have a potential army of around 4 million if they convince all muslims- very unlikely because some are good people , it has to be said if they can recruit a further 600 radical muslims from the UK a army of potentially 1000 suicide bombers is frightening, and you dismiss Islam as being a threat. Before you go off on one saying ISIS are no longer muslims, they have read the Qu'Ran in Saudi Arabia , the grand puppet of radical islam. That is my final contribution in regards to answering you . The policy of deporting every foreigner would see me win 400 out of 650 seats in the UK

It has 1.7 billion followers, surely some have the common sense to depart and eridacate from such an ideology if it was so bad?

First of all, I would be happy if a moderator could confirm if I'm allowed to tag users on TSR who represent the topic at hand, with their quotes of course? I don't want to have the thread deleted as a result.

Secondly, before you bring up Christianity or Judaism, im a strict atheist and hate all religion, the reason we focus on Islam is because the left have a special relationship with the ideology.

Now, on a number of my previous threads and on other threads we have see left wingers defend and express their support for Islam. They will say stuff like "these actions are not representative of Islam", "islam is peace", "islam is tolerant"...only previously a user asked me for evidence when I suggested the majority of the Islamic world are opposed to homosexuality because she believed it was only a small handful minority, that's the level of denial the left have reached, they will not accept homosexuals are persecuted in the Islamic world.

Why do the left defend Islam? It is barbaric and like any religion is responsible for the deaths of catastrophic numbers. There is nothing peaceful about the Quran or tolerant or loving. The Hadiths are worse. Yet the left will attack you for admitting that.

I challenge a left winger to say Islam is a barbaric ideology. I will say the same about any of these ideologies if you ask

you said most are against homosexuality, where did you get that from? i dont remember taking part in a survey as to whether or not i agree with homosexuality...also if that were to be true, im pretty sure the muslims in my school would have protested against having an lgbt society, and no muslims would have attended it, however, there are muslims that go to the lgbt society and nobody has protested against it
