You said feminists and LGBT groups supporting Islam, so I asked you for examples of feminists and LGBT groups supporting the tenets of Islam.
You've asked for very specific examples, because you don't want to count the broad ones I can supply you with. Why don't people holding up sign at rallies count? Because you know those people are out there. LGBT for Islam is out there. Feminists for Islam are out there. You know this already though.
You're basically saying you want to see a feminist giving a Ted Talk supporting the tenets of Islam, or feminists supporting Islam doesn't exist. You've fixed the game. I've already explained that ignorance and hypocrisy go hand in hand, so you're not going to find a feminist defending the tenets of Islam in any great detail, because its simply impossible. What you will find, are feminists denying that the oppression of women in the vast majority of Islamic countries, has anything to do with the "true interpretation of Islam.
And please distinguish between supporting religious freedom and supporting the tenets of a specific religion.
You can't really have one without the other. It's hard to say:
"I'm a feminist and support religious freedom, even if that religion oppresses the people I'm fighting for."
...without looking like a complete doughnut.
I want to see an example of somebody supporting women's rights, and then supporting the subjugation of women by Muslims.
You want a very specific example, because you know that in a broader sense it exists. I've covered your rigging of the game.
For such a common talking point there should be lots of examples of this.
There are many forms. You will only accept 1% of them as proof it exists though.
As much as you want to deny it, feminists, and lets just say Liberals in general, supporting the right to religious freedom for religions that are in direct conflict with their ideology is one big contradiction.
There's a reason you don't see "LGBT for Neo Nazi's" in support of free speech, if you want to try to twist this into some debate about Liberals fighting for constitutional rights, and not simply people blindly supporting causes their political alliance has told them to.
