The Enemy of My Enemy
INVESTIGATIVE PROJECT.org ^ | August 7, 2009 | n/a

There is an ancient Arab proverb that says, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Its meaning is essentially self-explanatory. In the modern world, the phrase can describe the relationship among seemingly disparate people or groups who share a common adversary.

It is no surprise that Islamist organizations in the United States espouse support for foreign Islamic terrorist organizations and denounce virtually every US counter-terrorism effort. Such organizations viciously attack Israel and often Jews when issues related to Israeli defense measures against terror attacks come into play. Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and other Palestinian terror organizations can unleash lethal attacks against Israelis and Jews and nearly any Israeli response will be condemned as a "war crime" against the Palestinian people.

A disturbing trend is emerging in America. Those radical Islamists are finding new allies among a number of extreme leftist groups.

Extreme left groups? Try the DemocRAT party in general, the current Usurper included.

David Horowitz wrote extensively of the Islamo/Leftist connection in his terrific "Unholy Alliance, Radical Islam and the American Left." The people he warned us of now run the executive, legislative branches. I wonder how long the Left can chip away at our institutions and traditions before we truly fall.

“I wonder how long the Left can chip away at our institutions and traditions before we truly fall.”

That’s a very good question Jacquerie.
