Hasan is a huge part of the western left now, like it or not nobody would call himself a leftist and a “Hasan hater” at the same time and be taken seriously or without serious questions.

im not sure what you mean. since when is not hating a media figure a pre-requisite for being leftist?

If you don’t want to be misunderstood why not clarify the criticism?

i did do that in another comment
