Why are liberals the only ones defending Islam?
Advertisements [?]
I participate on another site that has more than its share of devout Christians. The other day a topic came up about Islam and without getting into it the ignorant freepers on the site were saying that Islam advocates death, and does not worship the same god as Christianity.

I have been defending Islam for days (even though I am an agnostic) and I noticed something. The only people who were defending Islam were my fellow liberals on the site. Why is this? Where are the conservative Christians? Why aren't they rising up to fight religious persecution?

Have the Christians lost their way that much that they are willing to let the type of people who used to persecute them tear into another religion?

I just don't get it.
