islam is a hetereopatriarchal, pro-capitalist, propertarian system of thought that keeps people in line through an elaborate hierarchy and a ruthless system of enforcement.
it is christianity on steroids; it is everything the left opposes.
it is the status quo. and, these people will align with the status quo.
that is the premise of the neo-liberal doctrine.
so, i mean, you can sit there and be a pro-muslim liberal if you want - you're just a status quo bourgeoisie. fine.
but, you can't do this, from the left - you're just stuck in a mess of contradictions.
maybe what's about to happen in the campaign to bring back sex ed will get some people to wake up...
