The Muslim religion radicalizes more American Christian conservatives than it does Muslims.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

7. Stupid Islamophilic nonsense, I'm afraid.

At any centile from right to left, Muslims are far more right-wing than American Christians.

That is to say, if you pick 100 Muslims from around the world and 100 Christians from America, ask them questions about things like women's rights, gay rights, abortion, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, the use of violence to promote religion, and so on, many of the Muslims will give more liberal answers than many of the Christians, but the nth most liberal Muslim will be much, much less liberal than the nth most liberal Christian, especially in the middle of the lineup.

Just because conservatives want you to believe that Islam is a major cause of horrible attitudes on all sorts of issues doesn't mean it isn't true, unfortunately. Sometimes the enemy of my enemy is even worse than my enemy.
