On Tuesdays edition of the Family Research Councils Washington Watch program, Religious Right activist and rabbi Daniel Lapin repeated his bizarre claim that liberals are sexually attracted to radical Islam. Lapin told FRC President Tony Perkins that there is a sexual dimension to liberals supposed love for Islamic extremism, claiming effeminate liberals are sexually attracted to the masculinity of Islamic fundamentalism and are experiencing Stockholm Syndrome.
There are countless studies showing that feminine-type behavior produces an excess of estrogen in men and vice versa, Lapin said. Essentially, the left has fallen in love with the masculinity of Islam.
He continued: Today, after a 30- or 40-year epidemic of leftism that has swept its sordid stain across America, weve become much more feminized and we are attracted to the masculine strength and brutality of Islam. This is the girl in the high school being attracted to the bad, tough guy and thats really whats happening. There is no other way that I know of to explain this utterly irrational and as soon as I said to myself that its irrational, I said, where else do you see irrational behavior? When people are sexually attracted you see irrational behavior. On a spiritual level, the feminized American left, show business, politicians, particularly academia, all the people who love Islam, when Christianity and Judaism are exactly the reverse.
Or maybe the claim that liberals support Islamic extremism is a myth created by the far-right? http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/daniel-lapin-liberals-want-have-sex-islamic-extremists

This is part of what makes the right wing so dangerous, full of self-proclaimed experts and gurus, but they know oh so little about the subjects they think they are the masters of.
