It's the complete opposite of being progressive, I feel feminism and women in general would be against it?

I don't get it seriously. It's like what Christianity was back in the day.

I think we overestimate the amount of people that support Islamic beliefs compared to not supporting the right to have Islamic beliefs.

I think Islam is extremely violent and a cancer upon the world, but there are good or at least law-abiding people that don't deserve any backlash for the actions of other Muslims. I don't care if 95% of Muslims were terrorists. That would still mean 5% aren't. Leave those innocents alone. I never support generalizations.

I'm not. If you can't understand the difference between being for a belief 100% and defending innocent people who shouldn't be attacked because of extremists then you're a lost cause. This discussion is getting incredibly old. You realize that Christianity has changed and adapted over the years right? Many Muslims are trying to do the same for Islam. Remove that aspect of hate and violence. Many don't agree with it all. But people like TC lump those people in with terrorists and make it impossible for them to change things. "Omg that's Old Testament not New Testament it doesn't matter anymore!"....millions of Muslims are trying to get to that point too. Help them do it. Don't group them in with extremists idiots who are using the religion for selfish gain.

It's not so much condoning their belief as saying that they shouldn't be persecuted/discriminated against for being Muslim.

I'm of the opinion that either all religions are allowed to practice or none are. Freedom of religion applies to them all regardless of your opinions on them. Personally I think the world would be better if all religion ceased to exist

Islamic practices in the middle east are barbaric but if they move to a non islamic majority country and obey the laws while still practicing their religion I don't see a problem

In the TC's mind (like most conservative shills) saying that Muslims should be treated with the same respect and decency as everyone else is basically the same as having a full conversion to Islam.

It's not quite that simple. "Progressives" with regressive views view any tolerance of minority groups as progress, so they have no idea their views are regressive. They think Muslims are a minority group (even though they're not, and no external group is oppressing them), so defending them is "progressive" when they're being criticized, especially when they're being criticized by folks in traditional western "power groups" (i.e. whites and Christians).

It's because of identity politics. The right wing is very against Islam and so identity politics takes over the left and tries to make them pro Islam. It's the same reason Trump backed coal. It's the same reason Romney argued against Obamacare despite it being almost identical to Romneycare.

That's kind obvious, other countries especially the Middle East are hardcore fanatics. The hardcore fanatics are becoming smaller and smaller in America. Also, the government is going to send you to jail for not believing. God believers in the US are so different and shit

Because they haven't had a cultural renaissance like those other religions did, where they moved beyond those prehistoric notions (in fact, they've gone backwards since the Islamic Golden Age).

Until they do, those religious views are a danger to the western world and all the progressive views you claim are important to you.

He wasn't talking about that. He was specifically talking about tolerant Muslims who want to modernize the religion and Vertania says that's impossible because of the Quran.

Even more ridiculous because Muslims already have changed their beliefs. If all Muslims believed the exact same things, there would only be one sect of Islam and they would all agree on everything.

Instead we have Muslims who are being MURDERED because they don't want to accept ISIS's beliefs.

So where in the Bible does god say this can be done? Sounds like it's modern Christians and Catholics who opted to change things like many modern Muslims want to. What a concept! Does the Old Testament say things can be changed or did that just come about by modern people of the time?

Because wanting the words of God changed paints that person as a non-believer. The Quran calls for non-believers to be killed, while the Bible (and probably Jews, idk) just says to shun them basically and let them go to Hell on their own.

The difference between Western muslims who practice Islam, and the uneducated indoctrinated radicals are like night and day.

Just because I'm not a fan of blanket statements because of someone's inability to tease apart something so black and white, and instead just compartmentalizes it into one broad category does not mean I at all whatsoever support the latter.

With respect to the former, I really don't see any real difference between Western muslims' Islam, and Christianity. Both highlight basic universal morals with idiosyncrasies of how they choose to live their life that in no way implies they're forcing that onto others. I'll eat a sausage pizza with a beer in front of my muslim friends and they take zero offense to it.

I'm also first generation American, so a lot of my friends are first gen from pretty much any background you can think of. Assimilation to American culture is a lot more rapid than people give credit to, so I can't help but not take some internet stranger seriously when they claim otherwise.

Again, I'm not for Islam because I don't believe in any faith. I'm just against hypocrisy.
