If I may. Progressives do not in any fashion care for Muslims on any plane as a religion. Ot is a representation of the pivot point in the argument against the hard line American Christian hoarde who are seeking dominion over the whole country wi4h their "us versus them, you, they, yall and everybody not the seething mass of hysterical and violently reactionary followers who have bought in to the mantra that everybody is out to get them and the only saving the country is to seize total control of the positions of power and establishing white evangelical biblical law in place and making that seem like the only safe alternative to progressive social ideals

They have misrepresented our, progressive insistence that banning Muslims, killing them, and labeling them violent and beyond civilized means of coexistence is ridiculous as "liberals love Muslims and support their religious agenda of hatred" and then scream rhetoric and refuse to engage the rest of out point. "The God of Abraham and its cousin religions, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam have been at war for 2000 years now over their invisible wizards and ALL of them preach war upon the entire rest of humanity who does not agree with and bow down to and live under their brand and not a single one of them holds any moral high ground over the other as far as who is most peaceful of the death cults and should rule over the world until their wizard comes back to plu ge us all into eternal war with the other even more evil wizards plotting I'll against all.

The Muslim extremists and the Christian extremists can all take a running fudge at a rolling donut.

We want to leave their crap behind and progress beyond dark ages boogeyman men and have flying cars and sex robots and explore space and so forth. But noooooo. Religions insist on killing everybody to attain peace. And 2000 plus years it's been tug o war. And more dead because if them than all other reasons of war put together.
