Nothing against Muslims, but I do loathe the set of ideas and ethical convictions that is at the heart of the strain of Islam that's been on the rise for the past 30-40 years.
What is it that you like about fundamentalist Islam? How compatible is it - as it's understood and preached in Saudi funded Mosques, Pakistani Madrassas, Taliban encampments, and Hamas militia gatherings - with the institutional priorities of the ACLU?
As it turns out, American leftists subscribe to the age-old adage "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". I suspect this Islam fetish that ankle-grabbers like TTK, j_b, and Prole are currently a part of will fade when the Great American Empire (read: the Great Satan) crumbles to the ground--at which point they will deny they ever defended the "religion of peace".
