A Progressive Liberal on Islam (Let's help share this)
inquiryintoislam.com ^ | July 2012 | inquiryintoislam.com

An honest, clear-eyed appraisal of Mohammed's desert dogma, from an honest-to-God, tree-hugging, SUV-hating, voted-for-Obama progressive. Sound unlikely? A little surreal, perhaps? Is that the theme from The Twilight Zone you're suddenly hearing? Well, stick around, 'cause it gets weirder!

(Click on the link to read more) I don't want to offend the author of the web site by posting his whole treatise on Islam. Thus the excerpt.


TOPICS: Culture/Society; Editorial; Foreign Affairs; News/Current Events
KEYWORDS:
Reading this, I find little to disagree with. Your mileage may vary.

I think we should help spread this message far and wide. I have no connection to the web site and just stumbled across it this morning.

Comrade, you must not spread slander against the Prophet of Islam.

(Soon it will be against the law, inshallah.)

It isn’t often that a progressive and a conservative have a meeting of minds on a subject.

Wow, a rarity - a “progressive” whose visceral driving motivation ISN’T anti-Christianity.

Just doesn’t read like a real progressive to me. Usually they ramble and take a roundabout way to finally get to their point.

He had a section touting his bona fides. I don’t have time to find or read them this morning.

Got to get going.

I really love the term “progressive” when used in this sense.

It’s a brilliant example of stealing a march on the opponent.

It’s as if conservatives were to stop using the term conservative to refer to ourselves, and started calling ourselves “the good guys.”

Then whenever anyone disagrees with us, we can respond by saying, “So you’re against the good guys? What kind of an evil person are you?”

“Progressive” is fitting, though it is one of those whitewashing terms.

“Progressives”, historically, have always supported fascism and communism (and, no, those aren’t “opposites”).

Truth is a defense against a charge of slander. What is untrue about calling Mohammed a murdering pedophile?

Sarcasm was intended.
