Or, for the double standard held against Islam, I think you are presuming that Christianity is something that anyone speaking English in the west can separate themselves from. Our language and culture has been inoculated with it, for better or for worse. Props to Patriot for cracking down on dictionaries, but not because they are liberal, but simply because they conceal that words carry such a wide gamut of cultural weight. With that said, the reason that this double standard exists, I think, is not because we are playing favorites but merely because we can think of Islam as homogeneous because it is altogether "other" and our language supports that way of thinking and of speaking. Christendom has done a lot of awful things, but for us to try and list them would be absurd because it is American history up to a point, and some may argue that it ended its era at all, as well as European history starting after Constantine and ending at a very recent, unspecified time. Let's not even begin to try and talk about capitalism or liberalism, and I don't mean liberal in the context of American politics but in its true meaning in the realm of world politics, because those are things that we take for granted, and for us to ever get to a place that we can talk to them without being a part of them and without them being a part of us would be ludicrous. So, in a very strange sense, there isn't really a double standard. All that there is just our inability to accept that America isn't different, nor is it the center of the world. You want a country/culture that we treat as one above all others irrationally and ignore the facts; Tibet. We have made a commodity of loving our own constructed notion of Tibet, we have made helping it a commodity, just like (Red) products for Africa, and that is the best example there is of us imagining a foreign culture to be homogeneous. By naming things, we control them. Bataille loved Epicurus for saying he was "against grammar," and I think this is why. It isn't a liberal conspiracy behind dictionaries, but it's still a conspiracy. Dictionaries allow us the writers to define things and allow us to us those definitions to assert control. It allows us to tell others who or what they are, and that is one of the most destructive power known to man. That is, the power to name. I may not agree with the political sentiment behind the original post by Patriot, but I do think that to challenge definitions is the most admirable form of resistance.
