"On the contrary, what the western left usually does is to lock ordinary muslims in position, under the pyramid of the bureaucratic, clerical and holy warrior castes."

They do this in America with Black people and Latinos as well. They define our "traditions" as being noble farmworkers or service workers (which is nonsense, that's what we adapted to under strife - just like the current Islamism and suppression of women is not traditional either) and attack us when we overcome it.

I'm half-Mexican. The white side of my family is extreme-left from the working class/factory/union days. I will never be able to grasp why they are aligning themslves with the rich Democrats. They tell me I'm not Mexican anymore because I went to college and got a corporate job. Which aligns perfectly with all the rich white left wingers I met in college - and later in corporations. The corporations were less "you're not Mexican anymore" but rather "how dare a minority hire that made me feel good actually be equal to me." (Always "liberals" with that attitude, 100% of the time.)

Marxism is the mask. The real issue is feeling threatened by people they want to feel superior to. We just might be smarter than them. We just might be more successful. We might have to make them work to keep their superior position that makes them feel special and charitable.
