Yes, I considered that and yes, there are plenty of posters on DU who seem to be reluctantly taking the Muslims' side on this only because their hatred for America blinds them to Muslim barbarity. But there are plenty of posters over in DUmmieland whose replies wouldn't sound at all out of place here. I daresay those replies make up the majority on the threads I have read.
Ultimately, I think the liberal foundation of tolerance and multiculturalism will only go so far until it reaches the point where they'll tolerate any group *except* Muslims (and Baptists --and they'll prefer Baptists to Muslims only because Baptists don't behead people). Surely they can't all be that stupid. They have nothing in common with Islamic fanatics. There is no solidarity. Islam is an affront to everything that liberals hold dear. It is starting to happen in Europe where liberal values are far more entrenched than they are here.
