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.

Terrorism is a highly effective tactic. It bypasses traditional military conflict, in favor of giving the civilian population, which largely values safety over any other goal, a very strong reason to go along with it. This is why cancel culture, suicide bombings, and Anarcho-tyranny rule the day in various spheres around the world.
However, I think others are right to say that the Left is trying to use Islam as a weapon to bring about the collapse of the West, assuming that they'll be able to use the military to suppress the Muslims after the Left holds complete power. This is not wise.
