Why does the Left defend Islam when it's so contradictory to it's tenets? Islam is extremely conservative and right wing, so why has the modern left taken to defend it? Why doesn't the International conservative defend it instead?

Because Marxists fail even at being Marxists or are being accelerationary.

You can't securalize them either by patting them constantly on the back. Also you can't really make them secular they have to do that by themselves.

The worst any non-Western group acts, the more the left has to act to defend them. Muslims, like gypsies and blacks, act pretty bad, so they end up being defended by leftists.

It isn't even a Western phenomenom, exclusively. In countries like Nigeria and India, political Islam is also associated with left-wing parties.

Ironically, in the Muslim world leftists are hardcore secularists who hate conservative Islamists.

Because to leftists there are only two groups of people: the oppressed and the oppressors. The oppressors are bad while the oppressed are good.
So since Muslims fall in the oppressed category it is impossible for the leftists to think that a Muslim could be bad.
You can see this "divide" with other groups as well: whites/black, men/women, heterosexual/lgbt etc.

For the left if you fall under any group of people that the think are oppressed then you're immediately considered a saint that can't do any wrong.
This is why leftists ignore that many Muslims dislike homosexuals and treat women quite badly.

>Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong, good and successful. They hate America, they hate Western civilization, they hate white males, they hate rationality. The reasons that leftists give for hating the West, etc. clearly do not correspond with their real motives. They SAY they hate the West because it is warlike, imperialistic, sexist, ethnocentric and so forth, but where these same faults appear in socialist countries or in primitive cultures, the leftist finds excuses for them, or at best he GRUDGINGLY admits that they exist; whereas he ENTHUSIASTICALLY points out (and often greatly exaggerates) these faults where they appear in Western civilization. Thus it is clear that these faults are not the leftist’s real motive for hating America and the West. He hates America and the West because they are strong and successful.

The left defends Muslims because of the mechanics it works with.

All people should be treated equally and therefore Muslims can't be excluded from immigrating for being Muslims.

Muslims are a minority now and shouldn't be discriminated because of their beliefs.

Islam doesn't know the difference between political and religious views. It is totalitarian in that is a complete and total way of life.

They said the same thing about puritans. You know, those crazy Christians that had their women cover their hair and show no skin.

>"The rapid expanse of socialism has been compared to that of Christianity. More appropriate, perhaps, would be a comparison with Islam, which inspired the sons of the desert to lay waste ancient civilizations, cloaked their destructive fury with an ethical ideology and stiffened their courage with rigid fatalism. Thus Marxism finds it easy to ally with Islamic zealotism. Full of pride the Marxist Otto Bauer cries: "In Turkestan and Azerbaijan monuments to Marx stand opposite the mosques, and the Mullah in Persia mingles quotations from Marx with passages from the Koran when he calls the people to the Holy War against European Imperialism." See Otto Bauer, "Marx als Mahnung" in Der Kampf, XVI, 1923, p. 83. "

Nope, Christianity says to love everyone and to pray for those who aren't saved. Of course, some people take offense to the notion that they need saving and become hostile to Christianity as a result but that's on them.

By contrast in Islam the world is divided into to "houses" you have the "Dar al Islam" (house of Islam) and the "Dar al Harb " (house of war) whose names speak volumes about the way their inhabitants are viewed by Muslims.

Mass immigration is the inevitable conclusion of democracy. When the votes of the public decide political power, the public becomes a malleable means for you to propel your ascent to political power. The left is trying to change demographics in the hope that Muslims will always vote left to create a one-party leftist state.

Would right-wing dominance in a democracy stop mass immigration and demographic wars? I don't think it would. The right hates and fears Islam, and they are wise to do so. But would the right (or at least the U.S. right) be opposed to mass immigration of non-white Christians? I sincerely doubt it. Through demographic war, they could permanently put themselves in power and create the theocracy they've always wanted. Sheer numbers are the nature of power in a democracy.

Mass immigration is an inherent feature of democracy. Left or right isn't the problem; democracy is the problem. The only way to stop it is to switch to an altogether different method of government, like a meritocratic aristocracy.

Because modern leftitsts are a terrifying cross between hipsters and the Borg. Because conservatives were constantly starting wars in the Middle East and killing Muslims, political/ideological polorization demanded the left throw open its collective arms and embrace Islam as the victim.

Turns out that reality is a little more complicated than a single basic "us vs. them" dichtotomy, but dogmatic groupthink is a hell of a drug. Combine that with the left's eternal need to feel intellectually superior and you've got a bunch of idiots who can't question the party line without going through an existential crisis.

Because the left/right divide hasn't been relevant for some time now, and is really just a party line pushed to get votes.
Also most white leftists tend to be extremely Eurocentric, and only think of things in terms of what other white people think. "Oh, this group of white privileged republicans doesn't like X? Then I'm going to love X. It doesn't matter that I don't really understand X, I know those guys (who are always unequivocally wrong) don't like it, so by supporting it I must be right!"

There's plenty of justification for nationalism within Christianity. Why do you think the Protestant reformation resulted in the establishment of lots of disparate national churches, each with doctrines suiting their own political/cultural climates? Also look at stories like the Tower of Babel, which literally confirms the separation of nations as beings God's will. The Christianity you are describing is only one interpretation.

Islam is extremely collectivist so theres that. It's also in a particularly bad fundamentalist epoch thatll probably shift with time. People also mistakenly conflate and misunderstand the, often quite subtle, differences between a religion and general local custom.

Though of course most leftists don't argue from this position and only defend islam because le evil west and le poor oppressed savages.

Saudi arabia and isis need to be destroyed.

Local custom and culture trumps religion in even countries like Pakistan I've traveled to. The actual idea of Islam is great in my opinion. But not even Muslims practice it dearly because their culture comes first. And then you have heretics making it out to be some barbaric cult when they've only read a few verses and refuse to contextualize it. And then wahhabism and the gulf states spreading terrorism and their own shit brand of Islam making things even worse.

You are so superior desperately clinging to words.
Just call yourself socialists or another term, but not left. Perhaps invent a new word. You won't get the word "left" back anytime soon.

Le tru leftz of all people should know about subversion.

The Protestant reformation and national churches marks a hallmark moment in Christianity with the religion being subordinate to the state. Becoming utilized first by monarchs and then by nationalists. Prior to that it was a force of its own.
>Also look at stories like the Tower of Babel, which literally confirms the separation of nations as beings God's will
>OT shit
Except you're CHRISTians. You know, the faggot who came for all men? Savior of Mankind? Cunt from the New Testament? Told his disciples to preach to the gentiles? Become Fishers of Men so to speak? With a good whole of the New Testament about creating a global religion what with some motherfucker writing letters to various churches.

Furthermore a good number of you fags here in 4chan fap to Catholicism. Which is all about creating an international brotherhood of Christians that crosses borders.
