Yeah. It’s sort of assumed they “are just like us” in that they at heart have liberal values and goals.
So when conservatives and rightists say “look these people don’t share our values, they will impose their own” liberals get upset-the assumption is these immigrants have the same cultural paradigms westerners do, and that it’s bad and hateful to say otherwise.
Really, honestly, truly? Do you want to know what I think?
I don’t think liberals really take Islam seriously.
Like not as a threat-they don’t treat it with respect as an actual religion. With a history and over a thousand years of its own norms, customs and paradigmatic mores.
Their brown skinned and the mean right wingers don’t like them-so they are oppressed and just need compassionate treatment and free stuff.
Like, it’s extremely patronizing attitude.
“ISIS terrorists don’t know the Qu’ran”, “or “Islam preaches equality for women”-it’s just stunning really.
The arrogance to assume what a religion says. Or what it’s followers are supposed to practice.
That goes to a broader worldview liberals and leftists have.
They don’t take religion or culture seriously. Religion is “just the sigh of an oppressed creature” or “culture is just food choices and a way to form in groups”.
