The liberal leftie problem is a failure to distinguish between sets of illiberal ideas and groups of people who may or may not hold them. They see criticising the ideas as attacks on those groups. It should be clear how far-right attacks on those groups feed into this.

The failure of the left to admit that there are any problems within Islam just causes us to lose people to the right because they are at least acknowledging this. And the right we are losing them to is a populist and extreme right. Fixing this problem alone could change the game.
