Yes, and today I would say that "moderate Muslims" are guilty of that, assuming 
that such creatures actually exist and are not as mythical as Bigfoot or Black 
Gay Republicans.

That is a very good point. Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot were the 4 most evil 
men of the 20th century, 

 

Let us not forget the much more recent genocide that occurred in Rwanda, and 
how the world essentially stood by and let it happen. Yeah, I know the victims 
(and the perpetrators were) Africans, living in some far off country, of 
negligent economic importance or relevance to the set of issues deemed 
important by the developed world mass media, economic and political centers of 
power.

I don't want to get into which of the 4 should take the #1 position because I 
think it would be tasteless to start arguing that my holocaust was worse than 
your holocaust, but it's clear that all 4 were dreadful human beings. And yet 
even today leftists are only comfortable in criticizing one of those 4. I have 
a theory as to why. Most liberals tend to be academics and the theoretical 
basis of communism as seen in "The Communist Manifesto" and "Das Kapital" may 
be economic nonsense but it's not obviously evil; I mean who would object to a 
workers paradise? In practice Communism was evil but in theory it was just 
stupid, however   even in theory the Nazism in "Mein Kampf" with it's 
anti-semitism and master race crap was nauseating.

I think it's just knee jerk, somehow they got the idea that to be a good card 
carrying liberal one must respect all religions even if there is absolutely 
nothing respectable about them.
