...the bizarre and completely one-sided solidarity that elements of the progressive Left maintain with Islam, perhaps the most un-progressive religion there is.

I see it here all the time, "Conservative Republicans would love to act this way once they get power" perpetrating a cartoonish stereotype of Christianity taken from a Margaret Atwood dystopia while completely ignoring that countless inhumanities that are perpetrated daily across the Muslim world. Real acts of barbarism; slavery, submission, mutilation, "honor" killings, gay men being hung from construction cranes in the town square.

If Islam ever gains a foothold of power here, we will not be driving cars with "Coexist" bumper stickers. We will not be celebrating gay pride parades in June. We will most certainly not be punishing doctors who cut off a girl's clitoris. We will be living in absolute fear, and it won't be from conservative Republicans.
