I know there has been such talk elsewhere (I remember some Milosovic and Castro fans diggin' on bin Ladin and friends after 9/11), but who on this list has claimed that islamists were worthy partners of leftists?
We know Carrol has signed a pretty disgusting pro-Slobo petition. We know there are unrepentent lenninists about the joint. But I really can't remember the pro-islamist folks. I freely admit I do not read every post from this list that shows up in my mailbox, so I may have missed it.

Ah, West Haters. Now I feel like I'm driving home from work listening to Sean Hannity. Who are the West Haters?

Just for the record, so no new misunderstandings of others' positions crop up as a result of this post: I am completely aware that you are not a fan of Bush's war plans.
