Dangerous gay prime ministers 

"Imagine having a gay prime minister. Nobody would be safe."

The modern requirement that we all withhold judgment becomes very confusing when Muslims -- whom we are supposed to respect and tolerate notwithstanding their beliefs -- start bashing gay people. Like, how do we tolerate intolerant people?

The Dutch have been asking themselves that very question, for the last two years.

It's this kind moral confusion that led me away from liberalism decades ago. Fundamentally, it's a lazy amoral haze and a complete inability to discern, topped off with smug self-assurance. I can't stand it.

More to the point, Islamists reject everything liberals prize- freedom of thought and speech and tolerance. If these believers were white Americans, the left would label them fascists. If they were German, Nazis. But they're people of color. Oh m god. Enter moral confusion. Suddenly all bets are off.
