It's based upon the general interaction between the right and left in the United States, at least for those in the American left. The rightwing have many groups that they hate, fear and wish to destroy or marginalize, and Muslims are just one of that bunch. They forget that radical Islam is basically the same cast of characters believing in a different false god.
It's one of the areas in which I disagree with most liberals, many of whom will also overlook many of Christianity's ugly aspects in order to promote the few good messages to be found in it.
