Unconscious distortion of reality so as to appeal to simple minds. The worst kind of meme, without insight and without nuance.
The leftist archetype depicted here would not realistically have had any contact with legitimate islam. Any muslims she might have encountered would likely have been more virtue signaling university rats like her. The muslim-in-name-only provincial kind, who is all hip and modern and detached from their identity, but still feel the need to shill their lungs out over it due to a sense a belonging. From these glorified PR agents her worldview would have formed, and only naturally in her understanding the so called "extremists" are illegitimate and an inaccurate portrayal of Islam.
So no, when she defends islam, she would not be defending them. But the author would have us believe so, and there is no indication he does it intentionally. That would have made the difference between machiavellian propaganda and the retarded kind.
