When was that? The reason some lefties give human rights abuses in the name of Islam a free pass is because of postcolonial guilt and confused ethics around anti-racism. https://twitter.com/Ugh_hhhh/status/936534374182465536 …

Just by this tweet alone, how are you not a part of the new right?
-
If you define the new right as anyone who thinks the left needs to address problems with Islam honestly and counter the rise of the populist right, I am it. But in standard evaluations, I come out as centre-left - culturally liberal, economically strongly social democrat.
-
The populist right is the only politically successful platform critical of Islam. That doesn't mean they are the only existing one, just the only ones able to gain any traction under the current political climate. Why is the UK not even safe for apostates, for example?
-
Legally, it is. Bad actors still exist. In the same way, rape is illegal but it still happens & this doesn't indicate a rape culture.
-
There is no effective defence of religious freedom for Muslims. That would require that the tight-knit Muslim communities accept secularism, or that the nominally secular government adopt effective measures to prevent retaliation against apostates. Instead, Sadiq Khan.

Truth is the primary, the master liberal value, not compassion. Compassion without truth will cause far more harm than compassion supervised by truth.

We lose them to the far right because the Centre Right are just as wrong. There is no politically viable position in the centre that isn't appeasement out of fear of being more hardline.
