Cathy Young punches up at him over freedom of expression:
Trudeau’s biases reflect a common left-wing mindset that sees the world through the lens of “privilege” and “oppression” based on race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity and/or religion: non-privileged good, privileged bad (to paraphrase George Orwell). The result is a bizarre inverse caste system in which right and wrong depend almost entirely on the parties’ places in the hierarchy of oppressions — but only in the traditional Western social order.
From this perspective, because Muslims are a “non-privileged” group in the West, criticism of even the most militant forms of Islam is bigoted “hate speech.”
The Left is insane.
Thaat’s why I prefer Truesbury to Doonesbury:

Insane might justify evil. But yes, insane.
Speaking truth just means yer a hater.
Yes left, I do hate what is bad.
Good and bad are social constructs established to cement the power of white privilege, the patriarchy, and cisheteronormativity.
And also the Oxford comma.
Not just insane, dangerously so.
The problem with Islam being victimised, at least the Arab variety, is that most of damage to Middle Eastern Islam wasn’t done by western imperialism. The West’s imperial period in the region was actually rather short, whether you date from the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 or the British making Egypt a protectorate in 1882, the height of British and French domination was less than a century, and ended with the Suez Crisis of 1956, or the overthrow of King Farouk of Egypt in 1952 by Nasser and his other army friends. The real culprit was another Moslem power, the Turkish Ottoman Empire, which ruled the area for around 400 years, and made such highly progressive moves as banning the printing press, which the Sultans finally legalised in 1727.
