That's the most hilarious thing I have ever heard in my entire life. Just because I don't think Islam is Satan doesn't mean I'm a radical leftist. Furthermore I am neither in the left nor right. I am political pragmatist therefore all politics is only a means to an end.
Then why defend them? Why support, encourage, and agree with them? Even if you didn't do this, you would still see a correlation between their views and yours and that is the scary part, that your political beliefs reinforce their beliefs and even allow them to grow.
By supporting Islamophobia and sub-human treatment of Muslims you are supporting phobia of all types and sub-human treatment of all minorities. This is because you are normalizing it, you are showing that these ideas are acceptable and that these policies, in general, are good. You cannot restrict discrimination against only one group. Discrimination is like a wild animal, once released, it destroys everything in it's way and there's no way to stop it.
