John,
The reason the Left does not want this film shown is that they cannot afford to give any credit to the argument that the western civilization faces a serious threat from the Islamists. The logic goes like this: The Left really dislikes the Bush administration. The Bush administration supports the “War on Terror”. Therefore the Left really dislikes the “War on Terror”. Since this film shows that we are on a collision path with the Islamists and their terrorist tactics, thereby giving credit to the notion that we are fighting a “War on Terror”. Because “Islam vs. Islamists” supports the “War on Terror”, the Left must reject the film else they run the risk of supporting the Bush administration.
The Left and the Islamists have a common enemy. It’s ironic that the Left and the extreme Right (Islamists) have the same goal of bring down the Center. If it wasn’t for Left’s hatred of the Bush administration, they would be first to reject the Islamists.
