Humans do not like their social norms challenged. Our right wing assholes fear change just like your right wing assholes.
There are no left or right wings in Arabia.
The left and right are French values that spread to Europe after the French revolution, the Islamic world is another world.
Any force that tried to rule the place with the "right/left" mentality failed and didn't fair well against the odds. Simply put; nobody cares or feels the meanings of both the right and the left in the Muslim world.
The Middle East is especially messed up because of this: the world thinks Muslims know what left and right mean; but Muslims are alien to this terminology.
The Muslim world is not secular; so the majority of its citizens don't judge or rule using secular concepts. The secular regimes in the Middle East are ruling now; you can check their human rights' records to see why secular rule is hated around here.
The biggest enemy for secularism is secular Arab regimes: just like the NZ shooter; secular Arab regimes are shooting people instead of building.
