It still seems almost beyond belief: the coalition between the western left and
the Islamicists. Is it really possible that the champions of women, minorities,
gays, and lesbians could really be allied with the Islamic terrorists.
The answer is clearly: Yes. Judging from this article by
Douglas Davis,
there exists a formal alliance in Britain between the lsft and radical Islam.
You don’t have to search for them under rocks. They are organizing in the
open, holding conferences in Cairo, and have an official joint committee.
The steering committee of the Marxist-Islamist alliance
consists of 33 members — 18 from myriad hard-Left groups, three from
the radical wing of the Labour party, eight from the ranks of the radical
Islamists and four leftist ecologists (also known as ‘Watermelons’
‐ green outside, red inside). The chairman is Andrew Murray, a leading
light in the British Communist party; co-chair is Muhammad Aslam Ijaz,
of the London Council of Mosques. Among the major players from the
Left are Lindsey German, who resigned as editor of the Socialist
Workers’ party newspaper to become convenor of the Stop the War
coalition; John Rees,
also of the SWP, and, of course, George Galloway.
What could be uniting them? It’s hate, of course, the universal glue of
militant mass movements. And what the fundamentalist Muslims and secular Lefties
both hate is us:
Points of potential disagreement between the hard Left
and radical Islam — democracy, human rights, xenophobia, free-expression,
feminism, homosexuality, abortion, among many others — would seem to
pose insuperable barriers to the union. Not so. The hurdles have been
neatly vaulted in the interest of mutual hatreds: America, Israel,
globalisation, capitalism and imperialism.
Anti-Semitism is never far from the surface.
It’s breathtaking. America. Capitalism. Globalization. The three things
that have brought the billions of the world to freedom and prosperity are the very things
that these people have combined to assault and destroy.
