Why are liberals afraid of Christians, but think Islam nothing to be afraid of?

Question

To think Pat Robinson or Jerry Fallwell are going to violently take over the USA is laughable. Having lived in Europe for many years, it is very possible that we may see Shiria law take over European states. Reading between the lines I see the fear that liberals have the fear that we might make them (islam) mad so we had better make nice to them. Do liberals not know what fundimentalist Islam is? How brutal it is to women and children. Has any liberal asked the question, how do Islamic countries treat homosexuals. Do we hear on the news about beheadings, stoneings, honor killings and child marrage. Does anyone bring up the facts about Arab slave trafficing of Black Africans and thier own forms of racism.

Answer 1

It is understandable that people are upset with Muslims. There is alot of confusion, but Hate won't help anyone but the terrorist. They want to divide and conquer.

"Love is the only force
capable of transforming an enemy into a friend"
Martin Luther King Jr. 1929-1968

Learn how a former terrorist's love for his wife set him on a journey that ultimately exposed the lies he was taught and helped the walls of hate within him crumble as love and respect for mankind finally grew in his heart.

We need to get his message out so other plotting terrorist have the opportunity to know that their is HOPE if they are having a change of heart and need to see that someone else who was consumed by hate is now part of the solution.

Answer 2

Shariah Islam was made to curb our wrongdoings and head for a better a life.There's a reason as to why there are stoning and the absolute forbidden on homosexuals and alcohols and many other stuff. By the way there are no such thing as honor killings and child marriage.Those stuff are usually led by the traditions of certain races and not linked to our religion for crying out loud.I suggest you think carefully before posting up questions which only shows how little you know about Islam for that matter.

p/s homosexuals are certainly not accepted in Islam because it is obviously against the the law of nature. There's a reason why Allah created Eve(Hawa) to be Adam's(peace be upon him) wife.

Answer 3

I think many liberals - myself included - do recognise the threat of radical extremist Islam. However, that does not exclude the fact that there is also a threat to civil-liberties from radical Christian fundamentalism. It isn't an either or. The ideal has to be a secular state that does not either favour one religion over another, while simultaneously having politicians steer clear of allowing religion to influence their policies. Yes radical Islam oppresses women and homosexuals. As a homosexual myself that bothers me and I agree we must in the West be on our guard against mass-migration from hotbeds of fundamentalism. But I feel equally strongly that the State should not become one with fundamentalist Christianity. I fail to understand why you seem to think it's an either-or situation but there you are.

Answer 4

the left doesnt care about it one way or the other,they do not think the the Christians are out to get the Nation either,it is a plan to gain control of the nation by the left,since Christians use core value to decide the vote,and since most Christians back the Republican party,they are using the Muslims to attack the base of the present party in power for the time being,laying the groundwork,for the next presidential election(this is why Obama is being used to call the to be opposers, bashers and make it look negative,theres a lot more to where i'm going with this but I figure your getting the jist of where my point is going

Answer 5

Your question is flawed from the beginning.
I have no proof - neither do you - that liberals are either afraid of Christians or are in fact NOT Christians themselves as you imply.
I do fear fundamentalists of all stripes - Christians & Muslims - although currently we are led to believe it is only the fundemetalist Muslims that are a danger.

Answer 6

I agree. A few quick points. Yes the Christians DID kill people during the Crusades, they were fighting Muslims! In the South the Democrats founded the KKK after the Civil War, to kill and otherwise harass former slaves. This type of appeasement was tried before, in 1939 England's Prime Minster Neville Chamberlain had an agreement to give Poland to Adolph Hitler, World War Two started before he could get to the home office.

Answer 7

As a moderate I am more concerned with what fundamental Christians are trying to turn this country into because they are HERE and have power, while Islamic religion practictioners here do not have power, only overseas.

Also your quote that "liberals have the fear that we might make them (islam) mad so we had better make nice to them" has to do with the U.S.'s reluctance to dictate what religions other countries and cultures practice. One can see how stretched we are militarily in Iraq; think how much more stretched it would be if we try to impose our national will on countries that are different. We wouldn't have enough soldiers to do that, nor SHOULD we do that!

Answer 8

As far as I can see,hear etc. The extreme liberals of this country would have the islamic radicals take over this country just to prove that the President is wrong. They don't have a clue about their feelings on gays etc. but if things keep going as is they will find out!

Answer 9

Your question is extremely confusing to me. I can't fathom for the life of me Pat Robinson, or, Jerry Falwell taking over the USA. You're right, that is laughable. It will never happen. As to the rest of your question, I'm sorry, but, I'm lost. Have a great night ~~~

Answer 10

I don't recall saying I'm afraid of Christians...

That'd be stupid of me to hate Christians and be afraid of the religion after celebrating Christmas. But if you want to insult me, and lump me in with people like those at the ACLU then sure whatever.

Merry Christmas.
