Unless by "the left" you mean some solitary idiot (or troll) on tiktok who just went to college.

In the west Boko Haram's goal seem closer to groups on the right than anyone on "the left". eg suppressing women's rights, more religion in school/govt, homosexuality etc

So just the same as every muslim group then!

An imam preached in a mosque in Kristianstad this summer about how and when it's okay for men to beat their wives, tabloid Expressen reports.

Which is my point.

That wasn't anywhere near your point. Your point was that "the left" would praise Boko Haram. You backed it up with a link to a story that was neither about Boko Haram, was about behavior "the left" opposes, nor had any praise from anybody.

The only way your point could work is by redefining "the left" as Muslim fundamentalists, which is frankly bonkers.
