I find it incredibly hypocritical that the left almost universally thinks that any reference to one's faith or God's will in a conservative Christian is a sign of lunacy or dementia, yet the rabid, obsessive devotion to one's faith, even to extremes of death, in Muslims is seen to be a sign of character and sincerity.

What the left would really like to see is a President that openly states that there is no God and there will no longer be any restrictions whatsoever on sexual behavior so bugger away, boys, and that the USA will now be run entirely by the United Nations and promises never, ever to intervene in any foreign country ever again.

Sender, find me one example of a person on the left who finds a rabid devotion to Islam even to extremes of death a sign of character or sincerity. If you find three, I'll buy you a steak dinner. Though that would be far from enough to suggest "the left" believes this "almost universally."

By the way, prior to 9/11, you could find much praise of Muslim devotion among conservatives. Grover Norquist almost got into quite a bit of trouble for it, if I recall.
