A fantastic interview with an "Anti-muslim extremist" according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Warning: May not be that extreme.

For context, this is what the SPLC has on her that makes her seem extreme
[QUOTE]Although she now positions herself as an ex-Muslim champion of women’s rights, her anti-Muslim rhetoric is remarkably toxic. [B]In 2007, she told Reason magazine that the West should “defeat” Islam and that “we are war with Islam.” The same year, she said that Islam was “the new fascism” and a “destructive, nihilistic cult of death”[/B] in an interview with The London Evening Standard.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]IN HER OWN WORDS

In her 2007 interview with The London Evening Standard, Hirsi Ali [B]“advo•cated the closing of Islamic schools in the West and said that ‘violence is inherent in Islam,’”[/B] according to a later account in The New York Times.

In her 2007 Reason interview, she said, “There comes a moment when you crush your enemy” militarily, and added,[B] “There is no moderate Islam. … [T]here’s really only one Islam, defined as submission to the will of God. There’s nothing moderate about it.” [/B]And she told her interviewer that it wasn’t only “radical Islam” that needed to be defeated, saying,[B] “No. Islam, period. Once it’s defeated, it can mutate into something peaceful. [/B]It’s very difficult to even talk about peace now. They’re not interested in peace.” She also told the journal that she had sought to “get rid of” all Islamic schools in the Netherlands while living there.

In a July 11, 2009, essay for the online World Post, Hirsi Ali criticized President Obama for denouncing “Islamic extremism without once asso•ciating Islam with extremism.” [B]She threw cold water on the idea of the U.S cooperating with Muslims in order to battle jihadist extremism.[/B]

In an Aug. 18, 2010, Wall Street Journal op-ed, “How to Win the Clash of Civilizations,” Hirsi Ali said that Islam “is at war with America” [B]and wrote that Western civilization “needs to be actively defended” against Islam.[/B]

Appearing on the March 23, 2015, edition of “The Daily Show,” she said, “If you look at 70% of the violence in the world today, Muslims are responsible.” Experts said the claim appeared to be bogus, and she later amended it to say 70% of fatalities “were in wars involving Muslims,” including civil wars.[/QUOTE]
It seems like she has moderated her message a little bit in differentiating different types of Muslims and that is why she seems less extreme, but I think some of the stuff she has said in the past makes a good case for extremism.

I'm glad they at least half-heartedly disarmed the clickbait title by saying it was only part of the left that aligned with Islamists but I simply do not see Rubins assertion that far-left anti-American groups align with Islam. Most far left groups are anachist/communist groups like Antifa, or environmental groups, neither of which have any real Islamist connections.
