Western leftists defend their Islamic tovarisch (comrades)

Jennifer Oriel wrote in The Australian about pseudo-westerners who go out of their way to side with Islamofascism. Here's one weird example:

Loretta Napoleoni’s widely acclaimed book The Islamist Phoenix also contains a curious admixture of condemning Islamic State violence while praising the terrorist group’s caliphate ambition. It has been endorsed by Chomsky.

When Chomsky's involved, you know the situation is truly awful. And how can anyone support such a stupid book when the author speaks from both ends of her mouth? Definitely not a book any sensible person who understands the Koran's influence should ever buy.
