They are religiously unaffiliated(though not ideologically unaffiliated) people who view the Quran as the natural counterweight to Bible.

The danger of fundamentalist Islam is a world away from people in these ultra-woke bubbles. The pressure from fundamentalist Christianity is much closer to home, so they have this distorted view of which is worse. Even though in most other aspects they are very similar to these Christians in their own country. It's an example of the Narcissism of small differences. Which also kind of explains why the woke do this gender identity stuff. To purposefully set themselves apart from people who are too similar to them in mindset, culture, upbringing, and too close in physical proximity. I mean, do you know how triggered some people can get with the possibility that someone of slightly differing ideological views "can be right next door" to them? One of their neighbors? gasp

It's basically a cultural hang-up that for whatever reason never got resolved in a healthy and mature fashion and so are manifesting in strange, non-productive ways. It's like a societal bible bump.

yes, they still are in combat mode from past generation, where the religious right had much more power. They ignore that type of power when it comes to the muslim extremists here and now.
