One of the most perplexing things about the global onslaught of Jihadists is the affectionate response leftists have shown for the movement.
If you were charged with predicting a response from the left, in light of catastrophic Islamic terror domestically or Islamic war internationally, you might very well have imagined that Leftists would be the biggest critics of the movement.
After all, Islamic doctrines are best characterized as the extreme and of the right wing right? Consider their captial punishment laws and oppression of woman.
The reality of course is the opposite. Leftists almost universally respond to criticism of Islam with knee jerk accuracy.
At first I thought this was something of an insane "enemy of my enemy" application. But I have come to realize its even deeper than that.
Leftists look at Islamic single sex communities as egalitarian, beleve it or not. Imagine if you were an insecure person, wouldnt you love a faceless world with beauty stripped out?
