Islamic fundamentalists support the Republican Party in the USA, the AfD in Germany, Reform UK in the UK, etc? Please. They definitely do not exist on the same one dimensional political spectrum constantly harped on about in the West.
Furthermore, I will put it to you that there are a great many people in the "center" who are tired of hearing about the "left" and the "right", have varying opinions on hot topic issues from both sides, and do not fit neatly into these classifications. They just aren't out there screaming in the streets and on the Internet.
- donkeybeer 1y agoHow is religious fundamentalism not right wing? I mean what are you even thinking? The fact they don't exist appreciably in the West doesn't suddenly make them not right wing? Christian nationalists and theocrats are rightly considered far right and therefore naturally so should Islamic fundamentalists.
