It is human nature to exaggerate the positive qualities of your friends and to deny or minimize their negative qualities.
And the left has the tendency to support any group that declares itself an enemy of America.
For many years, it was assumed that the support the American left offered communists was based on a common platform. But we see now that in fact it is simply a matter of the left embracing any group or any cause that seeks to destroy America.
Thus the left embraces Islam as friend and ally - not because the left shares the goals of Islam for a global, theocratic dictatorship. Instead the left shares the goal of crushing freedom, bringing the American people to heal under brutal dictatorship. Islam is a friend of convenience. Any enemy of America is friend to the left.
With enemies, it's the opposite. We exaggerate their negative qualites and deny or minimize their positive qualities.
Notice how the left denies any positive qualities from America.
Buford, you deny or minimize problematic Christians and you deny or minimize that positive Muslims exist.
It's something we all do. Buddhists call this attachment and aversion.
Where I'm coming from, is that I have no problem with how Islam is practiced in the US, and I have problems with how it is practiced by the Taliban, by Iran, Saudi Arabia, and many other Middle Eastern countries.
This is because you deny the facts and excuse evil from Islam, due to the common enemy you share.
{Sixteen-year-old Palestina (Tina) Isa was murdered by her father, Zein Isa, with the aid of her mother, Maria Isa, in 1989. The Isas were a family of Palestinian immigrants living in St. Louis, Missouri. After learning that Palestina had taken a part-time job without her parents' permission, and dated an African American, Maria held Palestina down, while Zein repeatedly stabbed her.[5]}
{In July 2008, New York Post writer John P. Avlon claimed that the murder of 25-year-old Sandeela Kanwal—allegedly by her father, Chaudhry Rashid—was an "American Honor Killing."[7] Rashid is said to have strangled Kanwal to death with a bungee cord after she tried to end her arranged marriage.}

Islam is a violent, horrendously evil, and sinister creed. Islam is the depravity of our species, the manifestation of the most base tendencies humans have. It is utterly evil with no redeeming characteristics.
I say Islam is NOT inherently evil,
Yes, you excuse and promote evil due to a shared enemy - we understand.
because American Muslims are not automaticall evil.
No one is automatically evil. Less than 1% of Nazis were involved in the concentration camps. That doesn't alter the fact that Nazism was evil. That most Muslims are apostate and attempt to live in peace with others, in no way alters the fact that Islam is a creed of pure evil. The measure of the ability of a Muslim to live in peace is the deviation they have to Islamic doctrine.
Many of them are just like other Americans. We call them neighbors, co-workers, citizens and friends.
Yet like Nazis, they follow a creed of grotesque evil. How closely they follow will determine their ability to assimilate into civilized society.
