Look at your NY Mag article. If you had any insight, you'd see that the jihadi alliance is there. Look at left wing support for CAIR a group that tries to get Sharia instituted in Minnesota (no cab for you if you're carrying alcohol or have a guide dog).

Despite what you think, they'll still kill you if they succeed, just for being a Weiss. Much like they're heroes of 60 years ago. But then you support the VietCong and the Khmer Rouge.
