This partnership mirrors another "strange bedfellows" situation: Islam and the American left. You know leftist liberalism claims to care about things like:

• "EQUALITY": equal rights for women & minorities, care for the poor and despised, etc.

• "PERSONAL AUTONOMY": freedom of expression, separation of church and state

• "TOLERANCE" (the value that overshadows all the others)

You know Islam is absolutely opposed to all of these "liberal" virtues! Liberalism should be Islam's worst enemy. But it's not. Why?
