I was on Twitter and Islamophobia is trending.A day that is supposed to remember the victims of Muslim Terrorism, is being used to prevent any criticism of that ideology.
The Left is truly shameless.
Now that it's no longer September 11th, what are your criticisms of Islam?
I'll say it again...
The Taliban is bad, but so are Evangelicals, the American version of the Taliban.
It's important to recognize degrees, though. The American Taliban is not nearly as bad as the Taliban, but they are bad and they are constantly defying the law of the land in pushing for more and more religion-based law and privilege. But at least they aren't actively trying to execute homosexuals and apostates, etc. That's very bad, and I think most people would have to admit that that is worse.

Well tbf the American Taliban are not in power and have to follow the constitution.
That said the fact that we can even compare 1st world Religous fundamentalists to third world ones in war torn countries says a lot.

Not accepting homosexuality is hardly comparable to the beheadings in orthodox Islam.
Didn't I just specifically explain that I didn't think it's nearly as bad? **scratches head**
Fortunately we have what is supposed to be a secular document as the law of the land. That goes a very long ways to protect us from dangerous Theocracy...

Indeed.
Islam teaches to kill those who won't convert. Any "peaceful" muslim who says otherwise is either lying or hasn't read their own holy book-- the Koran (or Quran, or however it's spelled). Or maybe they have read it but think Islam has "reformed" and no longer teaches that.
Otoh, the most a Christisn will do is warn you that you will go to Hell if you don't accept Christ or they might try to convince you in order to save you.
Under Sharia law, it's either convert or be beheaded. There is no comparison.
Islam is no religion of Peace. Perhaps many of today's muslims really do believe that and perhaps Islam truly has been reformed from what it once was but obviously the radicals still follow strict adherence to Sharia Law.

See the Pakistani "moderate" who toured the west as an example of tolerance, and murdered his own family for being caught with other men.
