Well yeah.

I mean the left, not the hard left, the normal person left, their "apologetic" tone is because they fear discrimination against peaceful Muslims, they fear greater race problems. It's coming from the right place, it's hardly an alliance.

The media are mostly left wing, but they'll say it's Islamic terrorism. The BBC are quoting the Spanish leader as calling the Barcelona attackers "jihadists". That's hardly apologetic.

Allaince for me is acting together, sharing information, mutual planning etc. I'm not saying it's not what's happening, not by any stretch, just querying your assertion that it's fact.

This modern day hard left, I think to be honest it's 90% moron students who think they're on the right side of history, and 10% mercenaries.

I don't know about the BBC but I do know CNN. Blitzer just finished calling the Barcelona terrorists copycat killers of the Charlottesville killer. Nevermind that Charlottesville is possibly copycat of the many car homicides Political Islam terrorists have already conducted. When one white guy kills somebody in the US, CNN calls all white people Nazis. When Political Islam terrorists go on a killing spree, CNN says the motives are unclear and that Islam isn't to blame and blah blah blah.

American mainstream media is an exemplary study in apologetics for violence and for anti-western values.
