"I say there are two sides in the struggle:" wrote Osama bin Laden in one of the bombastic manifestoes that have so signally failed to unite the Islamic masses under his leadership. "One side is the global Crusader alliance with the Zionist Jews, led by America, Britain and Israel, and the other side is the Islamic world." President Ahmadinejad sees it the same way: America, Britain, and Israel are out to destroy everything that gives meaning and decency to the world.
This isn't just about power. The United States, says bin Laden, has "the worst civilization witnessed in the history of mankind." Greedy, licentious, exploitative — we are a danger to man and an offense to God. The Syrian parliamentarian and critic of Hollywood culture Muhammad Habash describes the "project" of American culture to "crush the weak, oppress the weak, crush them, climb all over their corpses."
On this point, our enemies are less original than they suppose. A common hatred of Britain, America, Jews, and liberal capitalist modernity emerged in the 19th century and played a major role in the history and culture of the last 100 years.
Today's anti-Americans, anti-Semites, and anti-Zionists — whether they are ex-Marxists, thuggish populists like many supporters of Venezuela's Hugo Chavez or fanatical jihadis holed up in Waziristan — have embraced a set of images and beliefs that haunted the European imagination for hundreds of years.

Funny thing about all the US bashing is our liberals are exactly what OBL calls them and yet our liberals are on his side.
VEry interesting. A perspective I have not looked at before.
“One side is the global Crusader alliance with the Zionist Jews, led by America, Britain and Israel, and the other side is the Islamic world.”
That says it all and the silence from so-called “moderate” and/or “American” Islamic people means they must agree: therefore, if you ain’t on the bus you’re off it — at your own risk.
There are only three allies/good guys left in this world: the USA, Israel and what’s left of the British Empire.
The UK is pretty far gone in my estimation. The Aussies are fine and for the most part the Canadians are too in spite of themselves. The Poles are good to go. I have hope for the Romanians, the Czechs, the Slovaks, the Hungarians, and others in the former eastern bloc. There may be some awakening in northern Europe but it is likely too little too late. All in all a short-ish list but we've had shorter and gotten by. If it comes down to us and God against all comers I'll still bet on the home team.
Somethings occured to me over the past few days .
I actually believe that the populations of these 3rd World sand pits do not really hate us in the way we think they do ; it is more down to jealousy . They had an advanced , innovative society a thousand years ago while Europe had declined ( Viking and Slavic incursions , civil war in England , France , and what would become Germany ).
During this time Western Civilization , along with advances in logical thinking - thus boosting tecnological and scientific advancement - has spread around the globe . After all , the Capitalist economy has driven more of the earth’s poplace out of poverty than any other thing in history .
I think THAT’S what these Fuzzywuzzies have got a problem with , rather than hatred for the sake of it .
Envy has always had a lot to do with it. We have property rights and the rule of law; both beyond their capabilities.
The Angosphere has been uncommonly welcoming to Jews. This is particularly true of the United States. This acceptance has benefited the host countries enormously. Parts of the world which have rejected and persecuted Jews have tended to under perform.
After such glowing praise, it is fair to point out of the ranks of this brilliant people have come a few who have created some of the most destructive mimes such as Marxism, and I would argue, much of the underpinnings of modern liberalism. It strikes me that such Jews tend to hate their Abrahamic roots, identity, and their unique God given burdens.
The Syrian parliamentarian and critic of Hollywood culture Muhammad Habash describes the “project” of American culture to “crush the weak, oppress the weak, crush them, climb all over their corpses.”
Climbing over corpses? Feh! That’s what bulldozers are for, preferably the Cat D9R: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armored_bulldozer
Climbing over corpses...sheesh, how uncivilized.
"And I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse; and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed."
G-d to Abraham, Genesis 12:3
Wow...I’m going to have to join a conspiracy movement when a senior fellow at the CFR feels safe enough to openly pen a self-righteous piece about a supposed Jew/Anglo alliance to benevolently rule the world and their superiority to everybody else.
>ex-Marxists
I don’t think there is such a thing as an EX-Marxist. They are almost without exception brainwashed for life. Only a few have escaped.
If......When it comes down to us and God against all comers I’ll still bet on the home team.
Ain’t it great to be on the Home Team?
Oh and don’t count the Brits out... to paraphrase one of our own..
“They have not yet begun to fight”
People just don’t understand the Brits (Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?”), Ireland and Scotland.. It will be fun to watch Scotland Yard running around trying to catch the guys who are whacking Mud Slime Radicals while the “Whackers” ride safely past their check points in the back of White Vans, sleeping in MI5 Safe Houses...lol..
Do you think it will take much of anything as an excuse for British “Soccer Hooligans” to hit the street?
Get out the Popcorn and warm up the microwave it is only a matter of time.

The problem with pointing out the obvious intellectual inheritance of Jews is that it is impossible to do so without exposing the other side of the coin which is the sub-par intellectual inheritance of other groups. It is socially forbidden in the United States and literally illegal in much of Western Europe and Canada to publicly express the scientific opinion that intelligence is significantly determined by heredity and that the genetic propensity for intelligence is not evenly distributed across all ethnic and racial groups.
One ironic explanation for the high IQ of Sephardic Jews is because of their long history of persecution. In order for them to survive, they had to find ways to either be useful to the ruling powers or to take up work not denied them. There is a long record of Jewish advisers and wise men to all sorts of courts in otherwise hostile lands. While land owning was often difficult for Jews, other once shunned professions such as entertainers, merchants, and banking were more open. These lines favored the more intelligent.
There is also the very long cultural tradition of valuing high achievements education such as Talmudic studies and the Jewish Law.
One must be impressed, if by nothing else, then by the ability of an exiled people to retain their culture, religion, and practices intact for nearly two thousands years while in the lands of people who often despised them.
If you are not already familiar with him, you might be interested in the work of Kevin B. MacDonald. He is an academic who has written a trilogy of books on the subject of Jewish intelligence and success. Dr. MacDonald has his critics and has been called a racist but his work seems to be intellectually rigorous (at least it seems so to me, a layman on the relevant subject matter). Wiki has an ok overview on him if you’re interested.
MacDonald doesn't take on his critics, whether it is me writting a letter, or an academic taking him apart. Istaed he creats a syllogism whereby any disagreement proves a Jewish plot to supress dissent.
