The Left's Love Affair With Islam Is, Perhaps, Our Greatest Threat

Democrats don't hate all Christians, of course. Christians are great if they are genderqueer or love illegal immigrants, but if they conform to rather normal Christian theology and believe that such a thing as sin exists, or that good and evil are real things, they are quite scary.

Postmodern, anti-Western Christianity=good. Cisgender, heterosexual, and especially white Christians=bad.

You would think that their objections would be ideological, but that isn't primarily the case. The hatred of Christianity you see in many liberals is actually a hatred of the West itself. The West was called "Christendom" for centuries, and for a reason. As much as we like to say "Judeo-Christian" values define the West, it might be more proper to say Judeo-Christian-Greco-Roman values are a more comprehensive description. Jerusalem, Athens, and Rome are the spiritual homes of our particular mix of reason and faith, forming the foundation of the modern West.

Modern leftism is defined by its rejection of both faith and reason, although some leftists like to wear either Christianity or "scientism" as skin suits. You have woke preachers and the "trust the science" types, but really, all they are is devotees of the woke agenda, which at base is hatred of the West.

I bring that up because it provides a partial explanation for the modern Left's seemingly bizarre embrace of Islam, which, if viewed in ideological terms, seems to make no sense. But once you see the primary motivation as hatred for the West and Western values, it snaps into place. Who hates the West as much as Islamists? They hate us so much that they will blow themselves up just to get a few of us.

I've been fascinated to watch traditional liberals struggle with the fact that the political base of liberal politicians is communists who want to tear everything down. Like Tony Blair, who was a Bill Clintonesque charismatic face of technocracy, a few of the more common sense-driven old-style liberals are genuinely worried or perplexed by the left's embrace of obviously evil and illiberal people.

As I have said before, I agree with Winston Churchill about Muslims and Islam:

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome ."

Despite the obviousness of this observation, modern leftists have embraced Islamism with a passion only matched by their love of socialism, and I believe for much the same reason. Call it "decolonialization," the "queering" of society, or, as many do, "revolution," it amounts to the same thing: destroy what is and replace it.

Obviously, leftists don't want to live in an Islamist society, but then again, Hitler didn't admire the Muslims when he allied with them against the Jews. They share the same intermediate goal, so they ally, just as we shared the goal of destroying Hitler with Stalin, so we worked together until the war ended, and hostilities between the West and the Communists resumed....SNIP

Ihe leftists think that after Western Civilization is destroyed then they will take care of the islamists. And the islamists think the same about the leftists.

[Starboard]

The Left is simpatico with Islam because of their shared love of power and control.

[kosciusko51]

“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

They have common enemies, and common totalitarian goals. If they run out of common enemies, they will turn on each other.

[volare737]

They need to look up the literal definition of Islam in the dictionary .

[PGR88]

Imagine if Vladimir Lenin claimed that he was visited by the Angel Gabriel, and that all his notions about how society should be organized were God’s final revelation for mankind

That’s Islam.

[Jan_Sobieski]

Leftists love Islam because it is a sodomite religion. The madrassa system churns out successive generations of sodomite jihadis that view women as only for breeding…Boys and men are for fun. In the “Butch” homosexual religion, only the effeminate are persecuted, though boys a put in dresses and sodomized routinely in Bacha Bazi

—
The leftists will attack the muslims with words and protests; the muslims will attack the leftists with knives, bullets and bombs.

I wonder who will win ...

[Longdriver69]

the silver lining to the fall of Europe to islam will be watching islam wipe out leftists en masse

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Sure is.

[ek_hornbeck]

The Left’s love for Islam is part and parcel of the Left’s broader program, which is support for any and all non-white people who are fighting or subverting western nations. Their Islamophilia is just another shade of “Black is Beautiful” from the 1960s or their open borders policy towards Mesoamerican mestizos. If most Muslims were white rather than Arab, black African, or south Asian, there wouldn’t be nearly as much leftist enthusiasm for them.

Ban Islam, it is not compatible with the Western Christian World!

I think the leftists are going to be in for the bigger surprise.

islamists know what they’re about and don’t hesitate to say so.

[JimRed]

Islam is a socio-political system masquerading as a religion and should not have any first amendment protections.

Truth.

[glennaro]

This is not a “love affair”; it is a carefully crafted plan to assume control of the Democrat/Communist/now, jihadist Party to establish the Religion of Terror (i.e., The ROT) as a major player in American politic. This plan is much easier and much more effective than to form and grow a new party ... and it is working — so far — far more successfully than the leaders of The ROT could have possibly imagined.

[Cobra64]

The Stupid Party fails to inform the intellectually unwashed masses about the cruelty of the Muslim religion. The results of October 7th should have been splattered all over the news. We, and the Israeli’s sanitize reality so we don’t’r offend the snowflakes.
