Lots of lefty entertainment and corporate-executive types, such as Ellen DeGeneres and Richard Branson, are pulling events they'd booked out of the Beverly Hills Hotel, owned by the Sultan of Brunei, since said Sultan announced the imposition of sharia law in his country.
The same question arises as in the case of all these lefties getting on board with outrage over Boko Haram's kidnapping of the Nigerian schoolgirls. It's nice to hold up hashtag-bring-our-girls-back signs, but then you can't, unless you're untethered from reality, adopt the war-is-so-icky-all-we-need-is-grassroots-interactions-of-people-from-different-cultures-Bush-took-a-blunt-instrument-to-the-delicate-task-of-coexisting position.
Come on over to the side of hard reality, folks. You're just about there. Go ahead and acknowledge that the West in is a twilight struggle against jihadists who want to enslave the women among us and murder the men in their beds.
The truth can sting at first, but it's always an advantageous basis from which to proceed.
