Muslims are no Different, or why Bill Maher’s blood libel is Bigotry

22. If you think conservatism is fucked up and bigoted...

And this is said on here all the time, with good reason, does that mean you think all people who identify as conservatives are fucked up bigots?

I understand some people identify as conservative without having many conservative views. Same with Muslims.

Stop laying down so many straw men. If you don't have an argument, admit it, don't argue against stuff you make up.

Conservatism doesn't even have any sacred texts, but religions do, so it makes it even easier to identify what position a religion holds. And the Koran and Hadiths have terrible stuff in them.

Is there such a thing as being conservaphobic? A naziphobe? That's how ridiculous the term islamophobic is. And worse, it's attempting to corral the language of an oppressed minority (homophobic) for a belief system that is explicitly bigoted. That takes some real balls. Imagine the nazis getting angry at "Fascistphobes". The real analogy would be muslimphobe, and even then, you're talking about a religious identity, which can be chosen, not an inherent sexual preference.

One doesn't need to be a scholar to understand how bad ideas that can't be criticized because they are considered sacred is bad for society. What's disgusting is the hypocrisy of some on be left who are willing to defend a conservative religion because it's a religion. Religious privilege is so prevalent in the US.
