There's plenty of muslim groups I am willing to tolerate. You know what the cutoff point for me is? When they describe their goals as literally imposing their religious ideology as the only form of law and governance acceptable, and are openly willing to "die" (i.e kill) to make that a reality. The "terrorist" group label carries many connotations, so fine, they're not a terrorist group if you like. They are way more than a simple charity though. They're a political group seeking political power. I'm not sure what kind of half-assed pseudo-leftist you think you are, but secularism is a pretty big part of progressive ideology. I just find it hilarious that the shitty, weak graspings of christians for political power in the west are somehow a gigantic danger in your eyes, but muslim groups? Of course, criticizing them MUST be simple racism and biggotry. No other possible reason to, right?
