We all know the narrative. The "left" is soft on Islamic extremists and Islamic terrorism, and this is because they are too afraid of being called "racist". While they is likely some truth to it, it another thought occurred to me - could this be, at least in part, due to the fact that those tactics by the extremists actually worked? Could it be because these people are actually afraid of those extremists and it's their way of appeasing them, in the hope that they'll be spared? If the last two years have thought us anything, it's that complying with tyranny is all the rage among these people.
