Islam hates women; it always has.

I've always wondered why the left seems to embrace Islamic causes, since if Islam had ascendency:

• Their woman constituency would be oppressed and treated like animals.
• Their gay constituency would be outlawed and oppressed.
• Their drug-oriented constituency would be killed, and even those who like alcohol would be imprisoned.
• The secular bent of most of their groups would be outlawed, they would be mandatorily forced into religion.

The left embraces islam precisely because of the items you list. It’s never been about freedom and equality with the left. It has ALWAYS been about CONTROL, and all four of your bullet points shout CONTROL.

The libtards and the islamists are cut from the same cloth; one is just a few hundred years older.

I've always wondered why the left seems to embrace Islamic causes...

I think the reason is twofold: First, Islamic is anti-Western establishment. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Second, the left thinks they are so smart, that to use the Chinese phrase, they think they can ride the tiger, and get off when convenient without being turned upon and eaten.
