Recently, Islamist groups such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations have opened up a new field of activity.
One might view this merely as part of the Islamists' bargain with the Progressive movement, to support Progressive priorities even when they don't necessarily relate to Islamist goals.
An emerging trope among Islamists and their allies has been associating the effort for expanded immigration in the U.S. with the "Right of Return" claimed by Palestinians.
The truth is that Islamists are not making a cosmopolitan argument for U.S. immigration at all; and their real argument is perfectly in line with their rejectionism towards Israel.
The new focus on white supremacy reflects a strategic choice by Islamists to align with Progressive rhetoric, resulting in some outlandish claims.
Islamists have been deliberately proselytizing to American Indian communities, amid new arguments that Islam has roots in America that predate the founding of the United States.
The hostility to a "White supremacist" American society underlying Islamists' views on U.S. immigration is profoundly illiberal, and should be seen for what it is: an attack on not only the legitimacy of the United States itself, but on the very cosmopolitan ideal.
