“A liberal is incapable of concrete reasoning and abstract logic.”

Your father was right !!
But therein lies the question as to why ?
The left deals in and embraces relativism and with it comes uncertainty.
Any group of people, especially Christians, that express “certainty” are evil for they are “judgmental” and that is bad. That being said “Islamist” definitely express certainty and are judgmental, and should be viewed by the left as bad, but are not.
I don’t think the thought process among the left is really very deep or complicated.
The left in the west sees the Islamist in the east as a group of people that are fighting against the same people they are fighting. In addition, they think these Islamists have “freely choose” their path, and therefore deserves their respect.
I had a lot of debates with my father growing up. As I get older, I realize how much he was right. Sadly, liberals get older but not wiser.
