Qurans and Bibles
One example of why the left looks hypocritical to the right: there’s a “Qur’an-burning” day coming up which has caused quite a bit of consternation on the left, but there was a Bible-burning day at a church in NC not long ago. (The pastor of the church hosting it believes any translation other than the KJV is a satanic perversion).
Where were the howls from the left then? I’m not saying that this is actual hypocrisy, because I understand that the left sees this Qur’an-burning as representing a potentially oppressed minority in the country, etc., but when the right talks ironically about the left’s “new-found passion for freedom of religion,” they’re not totally off-base (in their sarcasm), since the left does not regularly go out and stump for greater religious expression in US society.
It’s only when it’s the religious expression of Muslims that this happens. And it does look pretty hypocritical.
