Why do liberals support Islam?

I’ve never understood this. Somehow, the higher you ascend in consciousness, the less clear the answer gets.

As a fellow liberal I will do my best to explain my interpretation

Liberals in general tend to support oppressed or marginalized groups of people

That is their default software

Also, most liberals tend to be in Western countries since those countries are Stage Green

However, in Western countries, islam and muslims have a very bad reputation

There is a lot of prejudice, xenophobia and racism towards them

Since muslims are usually arab and Western European is mostly white and Christian, these groups tend to be more marginalized

Recent terrorist attacks have not helped the situation and the far right tends to attack them a lot

Since in the liberal mind, oppressed people are not bad but can be even good, islam=good or at least not bad

Lastly, some hardcore liberals tend to dislike anything "white" or "european", it is toxic self guilt and self hatred

Since islam is seen as a foreigner thing, it is by default good since what is western=bad

This is the most extreme cases, usually it is more related to the oppression topic I explained earlier

Hope it helps

They don’t, it’s just that the right can’t process more complex political and philosophical arguments so it looks to them like support because they only see in short term and black and white.

Because they are subconsciously begging to be put in their place
