On the Fact that the Left Responds to ANY Criticism of Islam with Moral Equivalency and Endless Mentions of the Crusades (Never Minding the Fact that the Muslims Invaded Europe First), the Spanish Inquisition, Colonial Abuses (Never Minding the Fact that the Turks Were One of the Most Brutal Colonial Powers of All), Slavery (Never Minding the Fact that the Arab Slave Trade Was as Virulent and Expansive as it Gets), etc.
Political correctness run amok (the fact that these Islamists are insane and that a failure to recognize this is potentially dangerous)............................................................................................................P.S. And, yes, I have no trouble conceding (or even arguing) the fact that U.S. foreign policy has unquestionably exacerbated the situation and that we need a thorough reexamination of it and quickly. But that's a different issue (walking and chewing gum at the same time evidently difficult for the left).

Hardly a 'leftist' response. It is legitimate history, IMO, to note similarities in
the effects of religious intolerance, as in for example the 1st Crusade which practically eliminated the Jewish population of the Rhineland. Facts like that do
not deny criticism of current barbaric behavior of groups like ISIL/El Queda but
can put such behavior in a cultural/historical context of violence against the
'outsider'. I cannot fathom the cause which would gain adherents, but it seems
there is one and perhaps we can learn from historical examples the best approach
to elimination of its appeal. Thus far the concept of removal of the leadership
seems the strategy and it is arguable that it is/is not effective.
In 2015 I have to agree with Sam Harris when he stated that Islam today is the "mother-load of bad ideas" and that it's been quite a while since Christianity has been this vulgar.
