More on Islamism and the Left

In the previous post I noted that several writers have speculated on the Left's "blindness" to the place of Islam in today's Middle East terrorism. One of the better articles is by Michael Walzer in the winter issue of Dissent: Islamism and the Left.  Also worth reading is Pewter Berkowitz's article Why the Left Casts a Blind Eye of Radical Islam in RealkClearPolitics.
