==Frankly, I think it's clearly overhead to suggest that Islamists are the newest incarnation of Communists. Communists are against any religion while Islamists always start "In the name of Allah...".

Communist Liberation Theology terrorists always start "In the name of Jesus..."

That's not to say that there aren't genuine Muslims who get caught up in Islamo-Communist propaganda. The point is, at the very top, you always find Communists masquerading as Muslims. You might also want to read the following links. If nothing else, they are at least food for thought--GGG

Well--if you read more on Islam, it's universalist ideology has overlaps with Communism. Permanent revolution till the world is under Communist rule and the Permanent Jihad until the World is under Islamic rule clearly come to mind.

Communism is obviously much younger ideology, but every totalitarian ideologies have common ingredients and that's why they quite often partner with each other to defeat their common enemies.

On Islam and its Jihadist ideology, I would recomment the following books.


"Islamic Imperialism: A History", by Efraim Karsh

"Politically Incorrect guide to Islam [and the Crusades]", by Robert Spencer

"Islam Unveiled", by Robert Spencer

"The Legacy of Jihad", By Andrew Bostom.


Basically, Islam since its inception was an imperialist religion bent on the world domination. Muhammad in his farewell address proclaimed: "I was ordered to fight all men till they say there is no God but Allah".

Similar statements were issued by Saladin, Khomeini, etc.
Islamic Jihad long predates communism although communists and Islamists found common causes fighting against Western Civilization.

However, whenever Islamists come to power in a particular country, Communists are often among the first to be hanged, like after the Islamic revolution in Iran.
