Why to secular western leftists support Islamic terrorist groups?
*Newsflash, we don't!* Also, told y'all that after 9/11 and said some other stuff too.

Not the most secularist ones. People opposed to religious regimes don't support any religious party.
As for the others, it's more diversified.
Some do support terrorism, refusing to see this is at best naive. And there's always been a part of leftist supporters sanctioning blind violence in the name of social Justice. The concept of Revolution is at the core of their mythology. It often looks quite Oedipal.
Some don't but refuse to ignore the sufferings of beleaguered populations. These had better be very aware of who they're hanging out with, they are easy preys to ideologues . I believe among these less fanatical ones, there are still a large pack flirting with condoning violence.

@EarthlingWise That is not a fair representation of the anti-war movement.
@Burnley123 What anti-war movement? The only anti-war movement I've seen in my life were the German Greens in the 1980s; they're now calling for increased militarisation.
What we're seeing in the Western countries now is either pro-Israeli or pro-Palestine marches. Very few truly pacifist marches. Only entrenched groups infiltrated with religious propagandists.

@EarthlingWise There's massive protests taking over cities across multiple countries calling for a ceasefire. What else would you call that?
