What is the Regressive Left?
The regressive left is a large and vocal community of western liberals who act as hand-holders of Islamism and, as a result, attack the people to point out injustices in the Muslim world, rather than condemn an obvious affront to liberal values.
This group simply holds Muslim societies to lower liberal and ethical standards than their own. When George Bush spoke before the NAACP in 2000 he used the phrase, “the soft bigotry of low expectations." The phrase is a perfectly apt way of describing this group’s sentiments toward Muslims because of this backwards and ignorant perception of the Muslim community.
