THE THING ABOUT IT IS.

Muslims who lean left are 'jihadis,' a commentator wrote, distinguishing them from ones who don't.

SeverityHatefulTreats a group as lesser, dangerous, or not fully human, whether it says so about the group or about one person for belonging to it. Everything at this level.

What was said

Cernovich wrote that “left wing Muslims are Marxists and jihadis” while adding that a “right wing Muslim” draws no objection.

Why it counts

Jihadi is a word for someone waging violent religious war. Attaching it to an entire political subset of a religious group, with no one identified as having done anything, brands them with a terrorism charge by ideology alone.

Carving out the right-wing version doesn't soften that. It just narrows who the charge lands on. The charge itself stays the same.

Cernovich

"Proves the point. MAGA isn't "racist." It's ideological. Left wing Muslims are Marxists and jihadis. If someone is a right wing Muslim, nobody cares."
