No, there are not. This forum is overwhelmingly conservative. Every time a real leftist or a real progressive (I'm assuming you mean liberal in the same way Rush Limbaugh uses the word) tries to participate in this forum they harassed or met with ridiculous questions like the one you're asking in this thread. They quickly realise that this forum is no place for their views and move on or simply stop taking the forum seriously.
But if you want an answer to your question then the answer is: criticism of Islam exists and is present in liberal politics but they have to be careful about it because racists and xenophobes poisoned criticisms of Islam with racist rhetoric about 'barbaric invaders' and outdated theories such as 'clash of civilisations'.
Or better yet, go to an actual liberal, progressive, or leftist space and ask them directly. You'll probably get a better answer there.
