And thank you for your thoughtful attempt to follow my argument.
The left is very eager to point out any signs of intolerance by non-Muslims directed at Muslims, but very quick to apologize for Islam generally every time a radical does something unspeakable and no one in the moderate half of the faith says anything against them other than a few bloggers and such. The left is also very quick to tar all southern Christians as intolerant and angry and bad citizens and such based on the actions of a relative few. That is how I see it. I also see towns allowing the Islamic call to prayer on public grounds but not the ten commandments, and airports making Islamic prayer spaces but not Christian ones. And I see the left embracing the Boycott/Divest/Sanction movement based on accusations that Israel is "an apartheid state" despite their relatively fair treatment of Islamic Israeli citizens when compared with the brutality that Jews face in the rest of the Arab world - reporting on every Israeli attack against Palestinian settlements and studiously ignoring the tens of thousands of rockets hitting Israel from Palestine or the knife and gun attacks in their streets.
