A spectre is haunting western Islam, and that spectre is Ikhwani-Progressive fusionism. This has been cooking in certain underground dungeons over the past 10 years or so and is now the normative ideology among the activist-academic-media Muslim class.
They are mostly college-educated bougie American Muslims who went into academia or journalism. Their age group tends to be 25-35. They tend to be from prominent ""Islamist"" backgrounds.

And they've taken the progressive language and worldview of the American left as their own.
They see progressivism as the next wave and want to ride it, but really, it has done a suplex and is now riding them like donkeys. Islam has become a skin to wear for them, mutilating the religion to take concepts of justice and equality and make it fit the prog worldview.
We all know who fits into this category. We see them agitating against core Islamic values for the sake of "anti structural" xyz, "queerness", bla bla. They promote "Gay Muslim romcoms" in Ramadan, and "trans conversions" among young people.

The vipers are in the nest.
The failure of the older, more orthodox Islamist groups in the Arab Spring (see 2013-2016, from the Rabaa-Ghouta twin massacres to the fall of Aleppo), led to their rent-seeking failson children to pursue a new ideology: Ikhwan-Prog fusionism.
Let us call these people Fusionists for brevity.

The young Fusionist activist has become another wing of American empire, propogating values formed in America's cultural regime factory (the academia-media-NGO nexus) to spread worldwide under guise of anti-imperialism.
Remember this: anti-imperialism nonsense is America's most successful imperial ideology to DATE. It has spread like wildfire worldwide, buoyed by the internet and social media.
We are living in a historic moment of geopolitical power transition as American power declines worldwide; but if one reads history, one will know that while political power recedes, cultural power surges forward.
We are witnessing American cultural power grow stronger than ever before, and the Fusionists, these millennials who use Arabic terms for Kufri beliefs akin to a trojan horse, who agitate against America all day, are another weapon of American empire.
Beware the vipers among you; they come promising revolution, democracy, and queer Islamic liberation theology.
