Or perhaps a lack of empathy. How’s that for irony. But if you think about it they average white male American leftist may not be capable of empathizing with the plight of gay Arabs. So for them, their greater hatred of the Preacher is based on parochialism. So even for the so called “worldly” leftist they still see Sharia as largely foreign and disregard it.

Interesting, I think you are on to something there. Whereas they will hiss and spit with the rest of us if such malodorous social morality codes were advocated as law in the US, as long as the person advocating it was a white Christian. Let it be a non-white, Muslim, or any sort of minority nutter and it’s no big deal to them. Just part of their culture. In fact they will furiously oppose any criticism as “bigotry” or “racism.”
