Why Do Conservatives Accuse Cair Council On American-islamic Relations Of Being Linked To

Why do liberals oppose conservatives but support Muslims who tend to be conservative?

First, not all liberals do anything. But fundamentally liberalism is about fairness. You’ve probably heard of the ACLU. That group of liberal First Amendment people who will defend the Klan’s right to march. This is because if you defend things only when people you like do them you don’t actually defend the thing. Your only principle is defending people you like.What liberals defend Muslims in doing is things that liberals will defend other liberals doing - or defend conservatives doing. If you can set up a liberal church somewhere then all else being equal you can set up a conservative church there or a mosque. If it’s fair for one then it’s fair for all.However what we see Conservatives doing is things that aren’t fair. Conservatives generally value in-group loyalty and purity much more than liberals. And in-group loyalty is inherently unfair. We don’t care much what your kinks are as long as you keep them to yourselves. Muslims in America generally want space for themselves which liberals consider fair even when the Muslims themselves are conservative. Conservatives on the other hand want to dictate how other people live in ways that liberals consider unfair.
