So it is not actually any kind of moderation on their part, beyond refraining from personally killing people. Rather, leftists define moderate Muslims by being steadfastly ignorant of what those Muslims believe. Thus leftists can come to the defense of Muslims who want gays executed and who want a new Islamic state of rape and pillage.

Presumably, they have been scared into defending 'bad' Muslims by the 'even worse' Muslims. Thus, the best way to get leftists to support climate denialists, gay bashers, welfare opponents etc is to blow something up. Then the leftists will be forced to willfully ignore all the objectionable views held by any conservative in the interests of maintaining the facade of unity against an ever shrinking 'real enemy'.
