Hypocrisy. At least here in India, the hypocrisy of what is labeled the "liberal left" is nauseating.
- I clamor for women's rights but when a certain religion is guilty of trampling over women's rights, I go quiet
- I clamor for equality before law but when a certain religion asks for different laws for different religions, I go quiet
People don't take too lightly to their sense of fairness being trampled over, and this feeling of unfairness seems to be a cause for growing discontent.

I think that's because people don't want to get killed. That 'certain religion' is known for mindlessly killing people. No, I'm not talking about Buddhism.

Sounds like a pretty good strategy for achieving the goal made utterly clear by the source writings. I trust the latter expression is sufficiently euphemistic.
