Because the modern Left isn't guided by principles - it's driven by resentment, self-loathing, and a twisted obsession with victimhood politics. They don't love Islamists because of shared values - they love them because they view them as a battering ram against Western civilisation.
Christians, Jews, and Hindus represent stability, tradition, family, faith, and nationhood - everything the radical Left despises. These religions are rooted in heritage and identity, which the Left sees as oppressive relics of a "colonialist" past. They view practicing Christians and Jews not as people of faith, but as power-holders to be dismantled. And Hindus? They're a problem because they don't play the victim - they succeed, integrate, and hold conservative social values.
Islamists, on the other hand, are wrapped in the Left's favourite cloak: "oppressed minority." Never mind the misogyny, the homophobia, the anti-Semitism, the intolerance - if it comes from a group that can be framed as a "victim" of Western power, the Left will bend over backwards to defend it.
It's not love - it's utility. Islamists hate the West. So does the Left. That makes them temporary allies. And in their deluded minds, once Western civilisation is broken down, they'll deal with the Islamists later. But history says otherwise.
You can't make a deal with a religious-political ideology that believes in total submission. The Left is feeding a beast they don't understand - and it will devour them too. But not before it's done tearing apart the very civilisation they were too cowardly to defend.
"The left is feeding a beast..."
