Islam typically isn't left wing.

But progressive basically tend to have a mindset that involves always taking the side of the party they think is least privileged in any given situation.

So, they will side with brown and black Muslims over white Christians, Jews, or atheists. If you focus down the context to genders they will side with brown Muslim women over brown Muslim men over white non-muslim women over white non-muslim men.

That doesn't necessarily mean they will defend particularly bad behavior, but they will often try to argue that it isn't as bad as claimed, that it's not motivated or exacerbated by the religion, that it's really fault of imperialist whites, play whataboutism with the bad behaviour of Christians and Jews, etc.

Sometimes, they'll ignore it. I think the worst is when they try to hide or or otherwise refuse to address it. We say some of that at new years at Cologne and more at Rotherham.

I think the events at Rotherham are particularly bad because you had the local government and police refuse to appropriately act on little british girls being drugged, raped, threatened, abused, forced into prostitution, etc by pakistani-british Muslim (literal) rape gangs. Because they didn't want to be seen as racist or give oxygen to anti-immigrant and anti-muslim sentiments.

If I recall, a Labour MP recently talked about that as a problem and people in her party attacked her for it. Someone else can fact check me on that.
