All those terms--"liberal," "Muslim," "Sharia law," "homosexuals," etc.--are carefully conditioned triggers for negative visceral reactions (hate, fear, disgust) in the target population. Grammar, logic, etc. don't really matter; all that matters is eliciting the programmed gut reactions from the Booboisie, thereby recharging them like an Orwellian 5-minute hate.
