He talks about the moral values that we have evolved, and relates it to the different viewpoints of liberals and conservatives.

I agree that liberals tend to be more open minded than conservatives. However, liberals have a tendency not to be even handed as it relates to moral culpability.
There is a clear double standard in play with muslims and christians. One group is expected to act like moral adults while the other is treated like "moral infants." I have mentioned this before on this website.
What is the reason for this blind spot?
