The reason celebrities attack Christianity as a greater danger to gays and women (and human rights in general) can be summarized in 3 little words: Theo van Gogh. They are terrified of personal retaliation if they dare publicly insult Islam. When the movie “The Da Vinci Code” came out, Borders had huge displays of the book and its spin-offs, but at the same time, they refused to sell an issue of a magazine containing the Danish Cartoons. The reason they gave? Fear of retaliation against store employees. Apparently they weren’t worried about rampaging irate Christians.
It’s easy to stand up to someone who won’t fight back, which is why the Rosies of this world are little more than schoolyard bullies. Unless they publicly accuse Islamic regimes with the same level of righteous indignation, they are only posturing.
