As Muslims have come to become more than an insignificant share of the left
wing coalition in many parts of Western Europe and North America, despite the left
wing not many any real policy concessions to attract them, members of left
wing parties have come to have more interpersonal contact with Muslims which has led to reduced fear and increased mutual understanding, and political leaders in left
wing parties have felt it politic and appropriate to refrain from emphasizing policies and issues that actively antagonize a not insignificant share of their coalition even when (if push came to shove) they might be uneasy with some of the political and
social views of this part of their coalition.
