Why radical Islam courts the Left, by an Imam

Imam Mohammad Tawhidi, known as the “Imam of Peace,” is an Australian Shia Muslim scholar born in Qom, Iran, to Iraqi parents. A reformist, he denounces extremism, advocates for peace, and supports interfaith dialogue. Despite controversy and criticism, he promotes reinterpreting Islamic texts to align with modern values

In this video from a year or so ago, with Dinesh D’Souza, he explains why radical Muslims consistently align with and vote for the Left—they see liberals as naïve and easily manipulated. In contrast, they fear conservatives, whom, they believe, stand by firm principles and are much harder to influence.
