A frightening history of the consequences of the left’s failure to recognize the consequences of playing footsie with Radical Islam.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s experience is a cautionary tale in this regard. A victim of Islamic driven female genital mutilation as a child, she was basically run out of her Parliamentary seat in Holland, not to mention the country itself, for raising the alarm about Radical Islam.

At least Ali got out alive. Her friend, collaborator in producing the anti-Islam film "Submission," and fellow anti-Islamist Dutchman Theo Van Gogh was shot to death by an Islamist with a note stabbed to his chest promising similar demises for the enemies of Islam.

Actually a good article well done

"What joins men together is not the sharing of bread but the sharing of enemies."

—Cormac McCarthy

The Western Left and Islamists share a common enemy, Western Civ and especially its Jewish outpost in the ME, which gives them a shared banner to march under, but there's also another factor that bonds them: complementary fetishes.

Islamists are sadists, they love attacking infidels and have a deeply felt need to wound and injure, as they feel tremendous humiliation at their societies' obvious backwardness and poverty, and a special rage and envy toward Israel, which has turned swampland and desert into a rich, prosperous country, when Allah had promised them all the land and all the wealth; and Western Leftists are masochists, nothing tingles their erogenous zones more than feeling responsible for the pain of the poor brown indigenous oppressed, and being denounced for their crimes of colonialism and inherent Whiteness. (What in the 19th-century was the White Man's Burden in the 21st century has become the White Woman's Emotional Burden.)

This is a psychosexual bond neither side can get anywhere else—it certainly packs more punch and provides more thrills than climate change—and here in the West has become a popular identity, "identity" having replaced individual personhood and all its inherited ties and traditions. The Anti-Zionist identity is a political religion, but works also as a balm to soothe the existential worries of the secular deracinated Westerner, to give them some higher purpose and meaning.

10/7 was their wedding, the blood ritual that publicly sealed and asserted their bond, and they still might be in the honeymoon phase.

We are living through another historical moment where a political movement congeals and arises all in the service of opposing Jews and their nefarious power, and we all know how these usually turn out.

Radicals always love sharing a bed with other radicals if they feel like they can get something out of it. Watching them turn on each other always gives me a little nihilistic schadenfreude, but the costs to everyone else (as in, the vast majority of people) are simply too high. To paraphrase David Frum, if liberals don't stand up for this vast majority, fascists will (until they seize power and make everything just as if not even more hellish).

Fêted French author Édouard Louis (whose autobiographical novels have been adapted for the stage) posted photos from Berlin Pride after the attack, saying in part “…all week long I received messages from people telling me that the pride we were part of was not radical enough, not political enough, too joyful… I worry about the way the far right will use what happened to spread a racist message.”

Unbelievable. These are the Sinons of the West.

Remember, when the Radical Islamists took over the Hamtramck, MI city council, they discontinued all city Pride celebrations.

When people tell you who they are, believe them.

It is infuriating. "Anyone who cares about basic rights and freedoms, Western civilization, the sanctity of human life, and the truth about our world should be burning with rage. But also, know that if you say you are, “progressive” leftists are likely to smear you as Islamophobic, xenophobic, racist, or even a Nazi."

Queers for Palestine and the like are quintessential useful idiots, and they will be thrown off of rooftops the moment they cease to be useful to Radical Islam.

"Not to mention, the deadliest terrorist attacks in German history were carried out by Palestinians at the Munich Olympics in 1972, and an ISIS terrorist who drove his truck into a Christmas market in Berlin in 2016."

Worth noting is that Black September, which carried out the Munich Olympics killings in 1972, was secular and not religious. It was formed mainly from the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), both of which were secular organizations (and the PFLP was even Marxist).

This is in stark contrast to an organization like ISIS, and all the rest of the examples that you list in that paragraph.

Out of curiosity, I looked up how the EU defines “far-right politics” according to AI Gemini. The EU does not officially define it, but it can be inferred from how European institutions and media define it. I am horrified by how normal and logical topics are labeled in this way:

Anti-immigration and border controls, National sovereignty and euroscepticism, Cultural and social conservatism, Economic nationalism.

I have been a supporter of the EU for many years, although I have always known that it has its problems and that it needs to be reformed in some way. I may have even once believed that federalization was the right way to go, but as I get older and see events in the world, I am becoming more and more skeptical (i.e. apparently far-right). I still believe the EU is a great thing, but I'm starting to think it should go back to its roots - to be a purely economic union and free itself from the drive to forcefully homogenize society, culture and law across member states, because the level of hypocrisy and lies it carries is becoming unbearable, especially when accompanied by inexcusable fascist practices such as concealment, censorship, suppression of free speech and banning political opponents in the name of the "greater good".

Incidentally, it was fascinating to watch the recent debate at Oxford University on Islam, where a Muslim speaker literally threatened the opposing side and later their entire side advocating the "religion of peace" nearly jumped out the window in fear when the opponent wanted to show a drawing of the Prophet Muhammad in a envelope marked with CH (Charlie Hebdo).

The greatest American invention was not an invention at all, because it was never invented. The intelligent Yahweh was before time and outside of time. He is self described as compassionate, and yet he is the true intelligence yet by describing himself first between his son and Holy Spirit, he is first about love. If there was only one,it would be 1st about power. There is no artificial intelligence, in the loving, intelligent Father!

Good article, I totally agree. The authoritarian left is a cancer that feeds the authoritarian tight. Western society is attacked from both sides. The center must promote strength and confidence to face both sides, and this can only be done with courageous politicians that put their personal interest behind the common good. Where are they ? I cannot find them.

Everyone knows it was the Mossad.

If European and American WW2 soldiers knew what would happen to their nations not even 100 years later they would've joined Hitler.

And maybe the world would've been better for it.
