1. By equivocating on whether there are any moral absolutes at all (arguing that even torture and rape are morally relative, thereby undermining a moral critique of Abu Ghraib/Bush Admin)
2. By claiming that your values are tolerance and equality (and forgetting about values like justice, speaking out against bullies, and defending the vulnerable)
3. By using more religious language without really knowing what it's about or sympathizing at all (pretending and patronizing will get you caught up in ignorance and you will probably be called on it)
4. By defending Muslim protesters who rioted over cartoons
5. By minimizing or denying the horrible religious extremism and tyranny of Arab states
