They have a extensive welfare state but at the same they also have a fairly free market.
You know that the 'left' often favours a 'fairly free market', right?
Did you even read the definition I linked earlier?
Your economic freedom link shows the same thing my press freedom link did.
The US falls below more liberal countries.
You said it can be found in both, but that doesn't matter. It matters if there is a correlation.
I didn't say anything about religion. I said opposing positions on speech can be found in all ideological groups.
I can provide a source according to which free market libertarianism is to the right and that communist libertarians are to the left. Left and right in this case is entirely based on economics.
Good for you.
I can provide a source that says the moons surface is made mostly from lava.
What do libertarians have to do with anything? We were talking about liberals.
Can you provide sources to your claim that muslims are further to the right than the capitalist west?

I said opposing positions on speech can be found in all ideological groups.
And that doesn't matter if opposition to free speech is not on the same extend and magnitude among ideological groups.

Can you provide a source according to which muslims are "globally" on the right? (In comparison to what? The west and non-islamic east and africa?...)

Again, it's nice to see you've suddenly discovered 'context'. So you agree you were full of shit when you say retarded things like the left is anti-speech.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarianism
"Left-libertarian ideologies seek to abolish capitalism and private ownership of the means of production, or else to restrict their purview or effects, in favor of common or cooperative ownership and management, viewing private property as a barrier to freedom and liberty.[6][7][8][9] In contrast, modern right-libertarian ideologies, such as minarchism and anarcho-capitalism, instead advocate laissez-faire capitalism and strong private property rights,[10] such as in land, infrastructure and natural resources."
Economics is also the metric by which the political compass categorizes ideologies to the left or right. https://politicalcompass.org/
