No, you're right: Anarchists aren't leftists per se. But they are in favour of social progression, which socialists also are. That is why they are commonly associated together.

Hey, don't get me wrong, I detest US Imperialism too. And every single war waged by the US since after WWII has been for all the wrong reasons.

But Islam precedes the USA by a lot. And we forget this.

Yeah, you're probably right about the forum thing.

I know Islam isn't entirely bad: in fact my best friend is a Muslim, although he doesn't practice his religion much.

What I mean is that US leftists take the side of Islam while ignoring its stances on women's rights or the death sentence, for example.

Of course I agree that all people should be treated equally, and I don't judge you based on your sexual or gender orientation. That's not what I meant to say at all. But the issue is that we're being caught up in too many discussions on gender issues, in my opinion, and not focusing enough on the rise of the alt-right, racism etc...
