The left supports far right extremist Islamic views

(Con:) "Of course, since Islam is a less powerful religion in the world than Christianity, empathy toward peaceful believers of Islam would come under the general support of multiculturalism and minorities." There were 1.8 billion Muslims in the world as of 2015, roughly 24% of the global population http://www.pewresearch.org... World Map of Islam- http://www.islam101.com... (Con:) "Even granting, for the sake of argument, that Linda Sarsour and Farrakhan were total left-wing supporters who also supported nationalist Islamist views, this would not discredit the left as a broader system of thought." 1)They are left wing supporters. Farrakhan endorsed Obama for President, and Sarsour literally was the Chairman of the Women's March. Sarsour has stated that members of her family have been arrested for supporting Hamas. Sarsour has even met with operatives of Hamas. The Obama whitehouse called Sarsour "A champion for change". https://en.m.wikipedia.org... http://www.danielpipes.org... http://dailycaller.com...

This same claim could be semantically made about Nazism, like "There are moderate or Liberal forms of Nazism", but common sense tells us what Nazism was about. (Con:) "Specific nationalist views can often be allied with broader philosophical ideas for political purposes." And is what the left is doing with Islam, which is my burden of proof. (Con:) "which ignores the distinction I pointed out between the various interpretations of Islam." Con is not an expert on Islam, nor a Muslim, so let's find people who are. Recep Tayyip Erdogan 12th President of Turkey from 2014 -"These descriptions are very ugly, it is offensive and an insult to our religion. There is no moderate or immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that’s it." https://en.m.wikiquote.org... -"Everyone should unconditionally accept that Israel is an indispensable element of the Middle Eastern mosaic." As quoted in Erdogan: "Democracy in the Middle East, PluralIism in Europe: Turkish View", The Turkish Weekly(October 12, 2004) * Muammar al-Gaddafi Former leader of Libya- -"Nations whose nationalism is destroyed are subject to ruin." -"There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe - without swords, without guns, without conquests. The 50 million Muslims of Europe will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades." http://www.azquotes.com... * Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Former Muslim Author- -"Wishful thinking about the peaceful tolerance of Islam cannot interpret away this reality: hands are still cut off, women still stoned and enslaved, just as the Prophet Muhammad decided centuries ago." -"The veil deliberately marks women as private and restricted property, nonpersons. The veil sets women apart from men and apart from the world; it restrains them, confines them, grooms them for docility. A mind can be cramped just as a body may be, and a Muslim veil blinkers both your vision and your destiny. It is the mark of a kind of apartheid, not the domination of a race but of a sex." -"...Bin Laden's quotes from the Quaran resonated in my brain: "When you meet the unbelievers, strike them in the neck." "If you do not go out and fight, God will punish you severely and put others in your place." "Wherever you find the polytheists, kill them, seize them, besiege them, ambush them." "You who believe, do not take the Jews and Christians as friends; they are allies only to each other. Anyone who takes them as an ally becomes one of them." -"Islam is built on sexual inequality and on the surrender of individual responsibility and choice. This is not just ugly; it is monstrous." https://www.goodreads.com... Walid Shoebat, Former Muslim Author- -"What the West does not understand about Islamism is that Jihad is very systematic. It has stages. If Muslims have the upper hand, then Jihad is waged by force. If Muslims do not have the upper hand, then Jihad is waged through financial and political means. Since Muslims do not have the upper hand in America or Europe, they talk about peace in front of you while supporting Hamas and Hezbollah in the back room. The whole idea of Islam being a peaceful religion emanates from that silent stage of Jihad." -"To this very day, Muslims do not view peace treaties in the same way that most people understand a “peace-treaty.” To the Muslim mind, treaties are not binding agreements, but rather opportunities to grow stronger or buy time or to appear peaceful while preparing for war. But make no mistake, making peace treaties with the infidels simply for the sake of peace is never the ultimate goal. The only goal of Islam is victory over the whole world." -"Although the word Jihad standing by itself means “struggle,” what Westerners need to focus on when reading the Hadith regarding Mohammed’s Jihad is similar to the focus needed when reading Mein Kampf, by Adolph Hitler." https://www.goodreads.com... ----- -HEADLINE- "January’s Women’s March brought out more than a million people — and many more also protested during the month" https://www.washingtonpost.com... -DOES THE LEFT SUPPORT ISLAM?
