What would Lisa Simpson say?

I sometimes feel like I am staging a one-man defense of tolerance and pluralism. Maybe it is because I am just wrong, but I'm not convinced yet. One possible reason that there are so many who are belligerent toward Islam and seemingly so few that are offended by that trend is that the nature of the debate is much more conducive to alarmist ranting. The arguments are easy: free speech is good, violence is bad. Simplistic is maybe a better word. They are at least far easier than thinking about solutions. But I think they require an antidote because their conclusions are dangerous. And, because like the fear on which they are based, these ideas are accessible and contagious.

What would Lisa Simpson say? She often represents the rational, compassionate and educated liberal faced with the ignorance and madness of the masses (often represented by her family). But the liberal is becoming more nebulous. It seems that by claiming defense of free speech, xenophobia has infiltrated their ranks. People claim to be supporting human rights by opposing Islam because Islam suppresses them - the reality is far more complex. We need more on the left being articulate about it, and not just Muslims. Would Lisa have a penetrating insight, or would she just say something that sounds smart and bookish about free speech?
