I'd love to see a liberal answer, but I doubt you'll ever get one, instead of trying to resolve the contradictions their emotionally driven decision making creates, they'd rather post cut & pastes from ultra-left websites, full of hyperbole about how evil conservatives are. Then sit back in an emotional high of smug satisfaction about "How they showed those conservatives how bad they really are..."
2 things I think are behind it, either, or a combination of both.
- Political Correctness, emotional driven agendas based on victimhood mentality, groups they see as the victim, are automatically elevated in status and side with them on issues, and do NOT side with were the facts lead you. This is has, as in this case, lead to totally contradictary stands on issues, because they are NOT examining the facts of the issues, they simply side with which ever group in the issue seems to be the biggest victim.
- Counter-Culture, Contrarianism, the preconceived notion that traditional values, traditional institutions and traditional standards are the root of all things negative they observe today. Its another emotionally driven, void of fact, idealogy, that ends up contradicting itself all the time, because its wrong at it's fundamental roots.
Most liberals won't even examine the facts or positions behind the conflict or the issue, they simply see Crhistians as the Victimizer and side against them, creating thier argument by cherry picking any facts that support them and ignoring any that do NOT. And on the other hand, they simply see Muslims as the Victim and side with them, and make up a intellectually dishonest argument to support their decision after the fact.
-AND/OR-
Most liberals won't even examine the facts behind the issue or conflict, they simple believe that Christians, as a traditional institution in this nation, is at the root everything negative they observe, and thus must be contradicted and marginilized if they are to make any progress toward eleminating those negatives in life they observe.
Muslims, being NON-traditional in this country, must be the polar opposite and therefore the polar opposite of bad must be good.
Everything they attack Christianity for, is ten times worse in Islam, yet they defend Islam. They won't even try to resolve the contradiction, doing so would mean having to re-examine thier idealogy and find the flaws in it, which we know they will NOT do, they want their next emotional high.
