Why Leftists Dislike Islam Apostasy Nix

That's an easy one. It's simply that leftists can identify with apostates as they themselves are often apostates from their native religion as well as from their native Western nationality and culture. Ironically, their identification with Islam is a logical outgrowth of their search for an anti-Western culture, but then experiences dissonance when that culture rejects its own version of themselves.
