The Left's Islamic Jihadist Love Affair

There are those on the left that argue when the U.S. or its allies wage war, civilians unintentionally killed or harmed do not care about intentions. It does not matter to them that one side intentionally kills civilians or that the other side does so unintentionally. Although this is true, it does not mean there is a moral equivalency between sides. The Nazis were evil. So were the Japanese soldiers during WW2. They deliberately murdered civilians. If the United States and allies did not go to war, the Nazi and Japanese killing spree would not have ended.

As long as the murdering of civilians is done by nonwhites or by Islamic jihadists during today's time, and as long as the murderers portray themselves as an anti-American leftist movement or as an Islamist movement, the left jumps in bed with them.

The Islamic jihadists that many leftists eagerly support want the violent expansion of their religion. They want to kill. They want to die in the process of killing because they think it makes them martyrs.

It is not necessary to support or defend American actions or those of their allies in order to be able to condemn the violence and corruption of Islamic jihadists and of anti-west regimes that are corrupt and brutal. The left cannot do this. Their morality is selective and tied to their ideology. Their support of brutal, corrupt regimes and of violent, blood thirsty so called resistance movements and people have caused untold harm. Many so called leftists are too self righteous, too enamored of themselves to see they are no different than the fascists they claim to oppose.
