The left and islam is a bit of an odd alliance. As opposition to islam's extreme tenants typically comes from the right, the left tends to defend them as victims of oppression. This is ironic considering that islam, as practiced in most places, especially muslim majority countries, is about as conservative an ideology as currently exists on this planet. Women and homosexuals are routinely treated in ways that couldn't even be considered in western countries. The howls of outrage over, not insignificant but comparatively minor, things such as Title 9 or marriage equality dwarf those directed at the behavior condoned and justified in most of the world in the name of islam.
