Why are Muslims a politically correct group when they are so socially conservati

Muslims seem to be protected by political correctness by the left, yet they are extreme social conservatives.
They do things that make Rick Santorum look like a San Francisco nudist at a LGBT parade.
So my question is... why are they not bashed by the left worse than they bash Republicans? If somebody says something "offensive" about Muslims, they are jumped on. Do the same to conservative Republicans, and they are fair game.
Help me understand.

Because they're not white.

Many on the left do not want to be seen as being as narrow minded and judgemental like those they rebuke on the right for the same reason. One reason perhaps.

Obama is one of them. You can't bash Muslims and blindly support dear leader.

Because the folk on the left are in general incapable of critical thought and have no idea about Islam or what it involves. After about twenty min. in a Sharia ruled state they would shite themselves. Islam is the largest monolithic group of ultra conservatives on the planet, and they allow no dissent. Most of the popular pc positions of the left would get you imprisoned at the least in a Muslim country.

This is total nonsense. Labeling all Muslims as fundamentalist is as intellectually dishonest as labeling all Christians or Jews as fundamentalist. So many folks like you are so quick to judge people collectively rather than judging individuals on their own merits, but they would have stroke if someone judged their tribe by its least common denominator.

I don't believe Muslims are a politically correct group. I don't see the "liberal" media pushing us to convert to Islam. Even George W. Bush after 9-11 told us that Islam means "peace". lol.
Sure the liberal media is no fan of the religious right or Christian Conservatives and takes every opportunity to go after them, but I don't see MSNBC pandering to Muslims and liberals are just as horrified of ISIS as conservatives.

Okay, okay calm down, people.
While you are all losing your mind over ‘cultural appropriation” of an Indian dress, nobody actually consulted THE INDIANS.
In our country, if a foreigner wears an Indian saree, we actually appreciate it. It shows that the foreigner respects us enough to try our clothes. And the saree, mind you, is not a religious thing. Hindus can wear sarees, Muslims can wear sarees, Sikh’s can wear sarees, Jain’s can wear sarees and so on.
Like Americans have short dresses, compare that with sarees. Going to a party? Saree. Going to temple? Saree, and so on.
Some Indians wear it, some don’t. Some hate it and think its oppressing, some love embracing the unique style.
Point is, don’t hate on her for wearing this. Don’t hate on anyone for wearing sarees or any variations of sarees. We love to see others embracing our culture. Why do you think we open our gates to allow everyone to practice yoga and find spiritual meaning?
Culture is not meant to be kept within four walls, it should be spread.
and they come out striking
quote:
No. Just no. Nothing in this post is good or right. frick lady gaga for wearing this, frick the native Desis who are co-signing this, frick any desi or any POC who is okay with fricking letting whites get away with shite like this.
If you can’t hold white people accountable for their bullshite white assholery, then frick you. frick you and frick any solidarity you expect from us.
Just because some ignorant frick desi is too uneducated and lazy to educate themselves on why this is harmful and marginalizing to already oppressed communities doesn’t mean you get to go scott-free for frickshit like this.

Quit projecting and confusing your imagination with reality. I've never made an anti-Jewish comment in this board's history.

Within the confines of what he actually posted, it really isn't judging individuals. He specifically mentioned Sharia-governed countries. All of what he said is true in that context.
Eta: the last sentence of his is incorrect, to be sure. The conservatives aren't even monolithic. Let alone the moderate Muslims.

That's the part I took exception to.

Fair enough.

I consider myself a liberal but my view is that the far left is as nuts as the far right. Both groups have a thought process that is very strange to me.

Do you even know what a one-trick pony you are? Lol
What am I projecting? You have started many threads making blanket statements (judgments) about Israel.

So you're going to the old moving-the-goalposts trick. First you accused me of hating Jews, and when you couldn't find any anti-Jewish posts by me, you accuse me of hating Israel. Next you'll accuse me of hating the Israeli government and Likud, which I have already admitted to. By the way, would you please tell me which thread title or post by me offends you?

I obviously do not agree the far side of either party but I disagree with the left's more if that makes since

You would surely know it when you see it. You are a subject matter expert as far as this is concerned.
