Why do lefties say "don't be islamophobic" when Islam is responsible for more terrorist attacks than white nationalists and incels combined? Not to mention how women are treated under Sharia law.
Also, why do lefties compare criticizing a religious ideology, something you can choose or choose not to believe (in a free country) with criticizing things you have no control over, like skin color, gender, and mental illness.
It seems like honest lefties should be against Islam and protest it to the same degree as white nationalism and inceldom.
Islam is bad but the Catholic church is more evil as it's an organization that has real power here in the U.S. and that rapes children. Catholics should be put in camps and priests and church officials should be tortured and executed.

I'm liberal but I generally tend to hate Islam. Their beliefs are the opposite of mine on abortion, women's rights, liberties and the such.

Islam is a religion with a serious identity crisis. Depending on what kind of a Muslim you talk to, you'll get a variety of different views and values. Some are good some are bad. The major problem with Islam is recognizing and inculcating the progressive cultural shift that has largely been influenced by the West while still maintaining traditions that are ingrained into their belief system. However, I think that it is important for Muslims and Islam to keep it's own heritage and history and not adoptong Western values just to appease the West. Also, the radicals should stop blowing people up and beating women. That would be nice.

just as bad as christianity as a moral compass. They are worse right now because islam is prevalent in countries shitty and weak enough for religion to rule the masses.

I think that's a response to people considering radical islamic terrorism to be representative of all Muslims. Its obvious that there are aspects of the religion that don't meet up with modern moral standards, but not all Muslims follow Islam to the exact specifications set by the quran. It's similar to Christianity, in that different sects exist which all interpret the Bible differently. Another issue is that many countries in the middle East aren't as "free" as we are. Religion is so deeply engrained into society that anybody who isn't religious is an outlier. They don't have the same standards of free speech as we do.

>However, I think that it is important for Muslims and Islam to keep it's own heritage and history and not adoptong Western values Why? Aren't Muslim traditions objectively bad from a leftie's point of view?

this. also jews. once we stop cutting kids dicks and molesting them in the us, then we can criticize the rest of the world on religion

The underlying issue with islamophobia is that it generalizes. Not every muslim is a terrorist just like not every critic of Islam is a white nationalistic terrorist. The current muslim situation in Europe an in the Middle East is quite ironic since countries like Egypt or Iran used to be quite egalitarian until the Israeli/Palaestinian conflict forced the US/GB to take sites and since Americans have a proud history of invading countries and installing corrupted despots who'll turn on them in a heartbeat many affected countries culturally went back 500 years, started to hate the West but their people are now fleeing into Europe which they see as taking part in american interventionism.
