Islamists, including Saudis and various other sects, started using their oil derived wealth to bribe Western political leaders after WW I. Once the mullahs realized that many Europeans agreed with the Nazis that Jews, Christians and assorted “enemies of the states” should be eliminated, the use of bribes (charitable donations) to influence European policy grew. It has continued until this day.

While communists such as Boris Johnson are mysteriously pro-Islam, but never questioned about the contradiction, most socialist leaders started taking Arab money alongside Soviet funds.

As the left retreats from the very concept of “sin”, “judgment” and the inevitable punishment of Hell, Christians have been left with no way to express their politics except conservative parties.

Major universities in Europe and the U.S. willingly accepted Islamic funds since they agree that the source of the world's problems are Christians and Jews, ignoring the hypocrisy as their greed and hatred of G_d stole their souls.

My two cents on the matter.

Because Islam is mostly practiced by people with brown skin.

The dem tent is made up of factions. Too many of these aren’t compatible and will start eating each other. I think this will eventually kill the dem party. Can homosexuals and muslims both survive under the same tent? Jews and muslims? What if blacks took their toys and played elsewhere?

Why does the left seek to support radical Islam so ardently?

They both hate freedom. They both think the ends justify the means, might makes right, and innocent freedom lovers deserve to be destroyed.

Because socialism is cynicism directed at American society. Cynicism is an antonym for faith, and to be opposed to faith is first of all. in America, to be hostile to Christianity.

Islam is hostile to Christianity, and “the enemy of my enemy . . .”

What I don't understand about Dawkins is his particular "crusade" against Christianity as if it were the greatest threat to humanity.

Perhaps it's the fact that there will be no consequences for targeting Christianity and, of course, it's the religion of his youth or at least the culture around him so he's rebelling against it . . . like a teenage boy rebels against his father.

It's sad Dawkins refuses to grow up.

Liberals don’t have to think, and therefore are not prepared to defend their so-called philosophies.

An atheist that doesn’t prioritize their attack on religion reigning in order from most harmful religion to least harmful religion who goes on to attack Christianity the most is what we call “A cowardly opportunist”...

The ONLY atheists I have ANY shred of respect for these days are those who Vehemently attack Islam with great risk to their own lives, and who may not personally believe in it, but actually support Christianity as they recognize it as one of the bedrocks of a society that has allowed atheism in exist in the WESTERN MODERN CIVILIZED WORLD!

BINGO! Also the sort of group-think rhetoric tactics used by Islam matches the Communist manifesto. It is as if the text of the book “Rules for Radicals” was carefully plucked from the pages of “Muhammed’s Big Book of Barbarian Warfare” otherwise known as the “Gory Quaran”.

Central to this argument is dialectical materialism, or marxism, which says that everything can be understood as a conflict of opposites, and that out of the conflict comes resolution.
By putting humans and m*slims in conflict, the left hopes to obtain a third reality, which will lead them to the establishment of a marxist paradise.

*slam is the only protected religion, because it is the one which is in process of destroying Christianity, a goal shared by the left.

Typo. Think-o. Or computer-o.

That was supposed to say, “All religious adherents are human, and like all humans -— even atheists -— have their destructive side.”

I don’t know how that whole phrase dropped out of my last keyboard effort. (Musta been da debbil...)

"Probably because they feel guilty at being able to live the good life and never having to have worked for it"

I think you are very close to the real answer here, thanks for helping me to clarify this puzzling situation.

I would add that the left does not recognize their lack of work as part of their problem, but instead have focused on Christianity and the white man as tangible manifestations of the bad guys for 'stealing' this beautiful land from the noble savages they found here (plus a host of other factors they see as evil, like slavery, etc.).

The Muslims are just the lefts tool for punishing the bad guys as the left rises to power to fill the vacuum. They don't seem to realize the Mooslims see them the same as all other Kafirs and won't just go away when the fighting is mostly done.

The Left is absolutely elitist, amoral, and hedonistic.
This coincides strongly with Islam, which rewards its adherents with debauchery in paradise, and, justifies in this life if you wealthy enough to afford it.
It is also opposed to Western Civilization and Christianity, both of which the Left despises.
This is the source of their support.

“Because they’re both Satanists in reality?”

They both have a common enemy...America.

Proves just how STOOOOPID they really are.

In the end Islam will turn on them and devour them.

In a general sense, The Apostles' Creed should give you a good definition. Specifically, I consider myself part of the "Reformed" sect of Christian tradition. Hope that helps answer your question. 😊
