Sunk cost fallacy. They've become so invested in defending it that they can't back down now but yes, virtually everything they hate about conservatism and despise about hate groups in this country is present in Islam.

Granted, part of it could be the elitist tendency where they view themselves as white saviors trying to save people they regard as backward savages (which is an extension of the racist missionary attitude) and, because they regard them as inferior beings, they don't hold them to the same standard. As such, they're more permissive of behaviors and attitudes that they'd outright condemn from other quarters.

The general hilarity in all this is that, culturally speaking, Islam's deep conservatism is -- on some levels anyway -- a better fit for the right than the left, yet the right ironically despises that Islam seeks to deny women freedoms while the left -- despite claiming to be a champion of women's rights -- at least implicitly supports the right to deny freedoms and maintain a culture of oppression.

I don't know how conservatives can let Christianity dictate their choices in laws then completely screw over the poor and take bribes.

Literally just described politics in general while ignoring that the most liberal areas are widely associated with the most corruption.
