Why does the Left Islam so much? Let MSNOW’s Stephanie Ruhle (formerly MSNBC) explain it to you.
What does the Left see in Islam? Ruhle spells it out.
“RUHLE: I mean, this is a phenomenal point, because you could disagree with Iran and what their point of view is, but it’s the fact that they have a deep belief in something, that’s unfathomable to him.
OFF-SCREEN PANELIST: That they will die for.
RUHLE: That they will die for, that they’ll destroy their country for.”
There’s Freudian slips aplenty here. The KKK had deep beliefs in things they were willing to die for, but Ruhle wouldn’t gush over them or dismiss them as just disagreeing “with Iran and what their point of view is,” The people who talk this way view Islamic terrorism as a point of view. One they may differ with to some degree, but also one where they admire the Iranian campaign against America.
What does Islam bring to the table? Ruhle said it. They’re willing to die to destroy America. That’s something the Left wishes it had more of and relies on Islam to deliver.
