The history of leftist tyranny in the 20th century was pretty horrifying, and most of it was done in the name of broader leftist principles that were translated into totalitarian regimes. Both sides are capable of gross extremism when ideological zeal trumps common sense and a sense of decency. And both sides have been down that road more than once. The National Review crowd is very self-selecting; I'm not sure what a comparable audience on the left would be today, but it would start with the people who shriek about evil government-corporate conspiracies running the universe and deteriorate from there, no doubt. FWIW, there are only a billion Muslims in the world, not three. And declaring war on the whole bunch is as foolish as the lefties who want to eradicate capitalism, even while it's the driving force for far more people on the planet than Islam.
