They are not any less compatible than any other religion and liberty.

That's arguable. There are some parts that align well and some core parts that the religion specifically forbids that Libretarianism demands. This is a decent reference https://eathealthy365.com/libertarianism-and-islam-a-comprehensive-compatibility-guide/

"a Muslim cannot be a philosophically consistent, “doctrinaire” libertarian without abandoning core tenets of their faith."

It goes a long way beyond conceptually non-orthodox.

I've worked with Muslims for ages, looked into the religion to understand them better and I've worked with Libretarians and dug into that because they have a LOT to unpack.

I'd say on the whole, the Muslims have a lot stronger grasp on their religion than the Libertarians have on their core tenets.

Now that this is out of the way, would you care to comment on my point that Libertarians don't notably support hate speech as a core tenet? Because that's the majority of my point.

Maybe not as a core Tenet, but it does have a... lets call it a coincidental overlap.
