The reason the left remains oblivious or unable to handle this problem is simple: they are not ready to critically analyze their ideological dogmas. The problem is that practically everything that makes up the leftist bible, their true beliefs, commandments, and modus vivendi, falls to pieces when confronted with this new reality. The evil conservative boogiemen – and especially the religious ones -could be reviled, accused of horrible crimes or wanting to commit them, and blamed for all ills, precisely because they would never retaliate or do any of these things. The same is not true of Islam where anyone that has done something as simple as oppose them has basically risked their lives.
As someone here pointed out already, women & gays are amongst the first to become victims of violence sanctioned by Sharia, and yet both remain more “worried” about perceived Christians. It is not difficult to bash these “right winggers” because these leftists know there will be no violence forthcoming. But the same does not apply to Islam. Progressivism is based on some fantasies that work well in Western societies where the risk of violent resistance to these broken and deficient ideas is all but nil. That falls apart when dealing with Sharia.
For the left to agree Islam is a problem, they first have to admit that most of they believe and have forced upon us in the name of progressivism is plain bull. It looks like way too many of them faced with this fact are choosing to keep quiet and endure the coming backlash, in the hopes that somehow it will just go away, rather than reevaluating their cherished beliefs. That’s why so many of them claim that they think that if we but leave these Islamist alone, they will leave us be too. Do not expect people that have to admit they where terribly wrong in what they believed to be able to do that with ease. It will take a lot more of their blood being spilled to wake them up.
