(7,911 posts)Just a friendly warning. There are people waiting in the wings to jump on anyone who points out cruelty and misogyny performed in the name of religion.
There are some who don't seem capable of making the distinction between "Muslims" and "Islam". That there are millions of good and moral Muslims does not change the fact that Islam condones such evils as cruelty and misogyny. It is possible to hate Islam without hating Muslims. See the difference?
Next they will tell me that because I hate Donald Trump and everything he stands for, I am a bigoted Trumpophobe. Surely we must, as liberals, respect and tolerate Trumpism, just as we must respect and tolerate, for example, female genital mutilation done in the name of religion. Isn't that what we liberals do? Respect every belief system?
