Yes I believe in civil liberties and freedom of belief and expression. It's funny that you argue against the evil Islamic monster and deride islamic nations for not having exactly these but then deride us for defending it. You're such a hypocrite it is amazing: you want equal rights in Islamic lands but you don't want them here. Which can only mean you are a true bigot at heart, contradicting yourself at every step in order to defend the indefensible.
As for the former, nowhere did any of us defend the tenets of Islam. Either just making the **** up since you have nothing to argue against or unable to intellectually separate these completely unrelated issues. As is clear from my posts elsewhere, I in fact think most aspects of religion and especially the spooky superstitions of the Abrahamic varieties are ridiculous. But we all have our crazy ideas, and I don't believe in hounding and segregating and discriminating based on this.
On a discussion of science vs religion, you will find me on the side of science. On the discussion of letting people be, letting them live their beliefs and dreams where it doesnt interfere with mine, building community rather than acting tribal, listening to people rather than spouting made-up **** spewed by fascists, accepting innocent people rather than denigrating and pre0judging them, you will find me on the side of the former.
I am happy to live side-by-side with people I strongly disagree with on intellectual matters, political matters, religious matters, and so on. Just look at recent history to see what happens otherwise. Here in the heart of Europe, we know exactly what happens otherwise. It wasn't that long ago. | |

Heh, getting all worked-up. Seems that my point just flew over your head.
I too want peaceful co-existence, but I would be worried if a growing number of people are unwilling to co-exist peacefully and ready to threaten my liberties.
Would you ban communism and Nazi ideology? It's a tricky question. It is impossible to have peaceful co-existence with those who do not respect individual rights and property rights.
