I always thought that radical Muslims are strongly anti-communist. But when I read about Prof. Ramadan (the guy who was denied a visa to teach at Notre Dame) it sounds like he's building a philosophy that's more or less compatible with Marxism. So that makes me wonder. Am I mis-understanding his work? Is he not a radical Muslim? Are radical Muslims changing their doctrine?
For example, here's one article that I'm using for background: Tariq Ramadan's Two-Faced Islam. The West Is the Land of Conquest
Sayyed Quttub and Maududi (who started the JamaatIslaami in Pakistan), while anticommies, overlaid their islami with the Vanguard prole rhetoric and organistational skills of the Marxistts to galvanise their followers.
THey haven't changed, We overlooked it for decades because they were a bulwark against COmmunism.
Ramadan is building on the sayings of these two, layering it with enough PC feely good rhetoric now, but, essentially supporting AQ which styles itself as the VanGuard, Tipof the Spear of the drive to worldwide Wahhabism.
