because islam works from their perspective, as a tool of domination and control. that is, after all, what the function of religion is, in any complex society - it's a system of rules that the elite push down from the top in order to keep society in order.
i think we can all agree that christianity has failed at that purpose, even as we may debate the pros and cons of that fact. as such, our elite is in the market for a new system of control - and islam has a lot of selling points.
they obstruct this reality by concocting stories about "oppressed muslims" being targeted for their race or not allowed "religious freedom", which is just a contradiction in terms in a marxist framework. when you hear this kind of language, you should know right away you're being co-opted.
unfortunately, a lot of the fake left seems to be in line with this, either because they desire the totalitarianism (see foucault or, even stalin) or because they're just useful idiots (like glenn greenwald, as a random example).
and, if we don't understand that almost immediately, there's nothing we're going to be able to do about it.
for right now, i have no suggestions regarding actual actions, other than building awareness and educating people. but, the gramscian conditioning, the hegemonic power, is to treat them as an oppressed minority that requires empathy, and it's very hard to push back against that without coming up against the systemic pressures designed to counteract the awareness.
and, i don't know how far they're going to go or how fast - i just know the elite needs a new system of control, and islam is the top-selling product on the market, for that purpose....and that you need to understand it like that, or we're all doomed.
