I don’t think the premise of the thread is accurate at all.

From my personal experience and the limited stuff I see on MSM, social media and from friends who share my basic (left wing) view if life, there is no comfortable fit with Islam. Very little with the various strands of Christianity either. Or Judaism, or Hinduism, or even Buddhism.

There are well meaning followers of all those faiths or beliefs, and some very brave and progressive representatives (especially many advocates for peace and some form of justice, and the liberation theology heroes and heroines from Latin America) but they all have belief systems that are at odds with my understanding of ‘left wing views’.

Many are not well meaning. They are oppressive, intolerant and violent. That includes representatives of all the Abrahamic faiths (focussed on Israel/Palestine and the wider region), the Hindu nationalist movement that echoes fascism under Modi and the warped Buddhism of the Myanmar junta and its genocidal oppression of the Muslim minority. Secular ruling castes like that in China can be equally oppressive.

There is sometimes an outbreak of ‘my enemy’s enemy is my friend’ which I think George Galloway has been guilty of - but that is not common in my experience on the left. Many on the left have defended victims of Islamophobia as they have of antisemitism or other racist attacks. Many on the left have Muslim and Christian and Jewish friends (I have - and a Buddhist brother). Many have marched and organised with practicing Muslims to show solidarity with victims of Israeli, American, German and British bombs.

That doesn’t mean embracing Islam. It might mean trying to understand the origins and history of the faith more - and not rely on the actions or representations of the most reactionary representatives. Islamic religious tolerance and scientific advances were in stark contrast to medieval Catholic thinking, but the modern Iranian regime is more brutal, backward and intolerant than most of ‘the West’. Not all though - as evidenced by the words and actions of some extreme Christians in the USA and west Africa, and the fascistic elements of the Netanyahu coalition in Israel.

Most people on the left are defenders of women’s rights, gay rights and labour rights. Where a religion or governing ideology clashes with those there is no comfortable fit. In my experience anyway.
