WASHINGTON - It seems counter-intuitive that ultra-leftists would find common ground with radical Islamists - the kind of people who automatically sentence homosexuals to death.
The Washington DC-based think tank Center for Security Policy (CSP) is highlighting why those forces that seem so far apart can come together and why some liberals cover up or excuse the violent acts of these jihadists.
What’s strange is these leftists will do it despite the fact that history shows that once radical Islamists gain power, they would likely wipe out their Leftist collaborators - it happened in revolutionary Iran.
“They’re the first to get their throats slit,” said Matthew Vadum at a CSP panel discussion based around his new book “Team Jihad: How Sharia Supremacists Collaborate with Leftists."
Also on the panel was Gregory Angelo, head of the largest GOP gay organization, who pointed out how some Muslims routinely slaughter homosexuals in distant countries overseas
"Where you have ISIS throwing people off of roofs. Where in Iran you are not just imprisoned, but executed for being gay or just suspected of being gay,” stated the leader of the Log Cabin Republicans.
But left-leaning gays won’t call these Muslims out on it, even though ISIS and others would kill them if given the chance. Angelo can’t believe some gays won’t condemn such murderous forces.
“Especially those who seek to eradicate LGBT individuals from the face of the earth,” he said.
"Medieval Totalitarian Butchers"
Vadum added, “Maybe the Left shouldn’t be attaching itself to these medieval totalitarian butchers who will kill them once they assume power."
Even in America, many refused at first to accept an ISIS wanna-be who killed 49 people at Orlando's Pulse nightclub.
“What else could it be when somebody goes into a gay nightclub and starts shooting people at random?” Vadum asked. "I’m guessing it wasn’t Methodists or Amishmen."
Angelo emphasized, “The shooter actually told police, ‘I’m an agent of Islamic State, Allahu Akbar!'”
And yet some on the left blamed the anti-gay hatred of Republican lawmakers or evangelical Christians for leading to such a bloody massacre. Anything but call out and condemn Islamic jihadis.
Refusing to See the Actual Threat
Angelo labelled it, “A liberal tack that sees everything but the actual threat that’s in front of it, and not only that, but seeks to blame everything except for what is truly responsible, and that is radical Islam."
In Vadum’s “Team Jihad,” he suggests the radical Left buddies up with Islamists because “they both have an authoritarian, totalitarian mindset,” and share a common goal: wiping out western democracies’ open form of government.
To radical leftists, Sharia supremacists are people who want to, as Vadum put it, “undermine the United States and western civilization.”
And to Frank Gaffney, CSP head, that means for the leftists, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
At this panel discussion, Gaffney pointed out it's often the liberal nations who get the worst attacks are the most accommodating and excusing of Islamists’ anti-Western ways.
Sweden's Dozens of "No-Go" Zones
Gaffney cites Sweden, and argued it has been somewhat ripped asunder, or as he put it, “At the edge of or actually in a civil war. With the primarily transplanted populations from the Middle East now taking over something like 61 so-called no-go zones in the country."
Vadum added, “They’re really drinking the Koolaid in Sweden, though I guess in this case it’d be the glogg."
Gaffney spoke of, “Police officers under assault if they dare to go in there and many of them resigning rather than put up with the dangers associated with it. And increasingly parts of the country are simply being lost.”
But many leaning left in the U.S. will ridicule folks like the American terrorism expert who Vadum pointed out recently stating, “There are no-go zones in Britain, which there are obviously in the United Kingdom, especially in London. Or as some people call it, Londonistan."
Europe's "Nothing-to-See-Here" Culture
Islam means “submission,” and these panelists suggested submitting is what many left-leaning groups and even whole nations are doing, especially in Europe.
Angelo bemoaned, “The 'nothing-to-see-here' culture that you’re seeing pervading all of Europe. I have lost count, stopped counting, the number of times where Islamists have attacked people in the public square.”
He listed such diverse horrors as the terrorist attacks at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester and Paris’ Bataclan concert hall and the Belgian airport bombing and the mowing down of innocents by Islamist terrorists in Nice, France and on bridges in London.
But many leaders are afraid to fight back or even name the threat for fear of being labelled “Islamaphobic.”
These are in the kind of countries that pass laws so that, as Vadum put it, “It would be hate speech to criticize Islam there.”
Choked-Off Speech "Literally Dangerous"
“We are not discussing in the public square what is driving these attacks,” Angelo complained, "but we are also not fighting back against it because we can’t: people are afraid to talk about this. Politicians are afraid."
He concluded, "Even those who would speak out against it feel that they cannot because they would automatically be marginalized. It’s not only chilling. But it is literally dangerous. We are talking life and death hanging in the balance as a result of this.”
the cartel of stupid
The Left exploits homosexuality and every other contra-norm in order to break down the society it’s infiltrating. And that opportunistic practice is harmonious with the nature of Islam.
Make no mistake, the liberals want us dead, but lack the skills and personal courage. If the muzzies do it for them, better yet.
True but then again it’s our kind who win wars; they just stay home and darn socks and have anal sex and that’s the men among them. The leftist women are much scarier, nuttier than a walnut fruit cake, but still scarier. EX: Pelosi, Waters, Lee, clinton, etc. etc.
I wouldn’t care what the men did behind closed doors with each other if they weren’t vocal about it and voted to SAVE THEIR LIVES.
Which muslims would gladly take.
Oh, and if they had to donate a dollar towards the debt for every time a “liberal” used a gay or racial slur, the deb would be gone in a year.
Liberals fantasize about carrying out Islamic murder and torture of their adversaries. They are like overzealous little league parents, only their kids in the game murder the opponent.
Both islams and leftists require the stupid gene and ignorance quota. Both have them and less.
Leftism and islamism walk together SINCE A LONG TIME !
It’s about time to tell that clear and loud and EXPOSE that utter treason of the psychopthic left .
It should be well know that libtardism is fonctionning in the minds of many as a drug and a fake religion , a pathological “religion” .....like islam with a common hate against the (former ? ) free , civilized and christian societies .
CNN and some others have strong ties with islam and islamists ! TIME TO EXPOSE and unmask them .
In Europe several well-known leftist activists or “intellectuals” “converted” to islam ( Carlos , Garaudy ... )
This was a very needed conference on the “Red/Islamic Convergence”, a tactical alliance that the leftist/liberal media has ignored for decades.
One of the pioneers in this research (besides CSP-Frank Gaffney and Matthew Vadum) has been Cliff Kincaid and his group “America’s Survival, Inc.) www.usasurvival.org. He has long written columns on this subject and has had a former KGB general speak and write about it for his organization.
One USASurvival publication worth looking at is “Red Jihad: Moscow’s Final Solution For America and Israel”, 2016, Cliff Kincaid and J. R. Nyquist, a Fellow at the Inter-American institute.
The 156 footnotes (mainly books, studies, articles) is, alone, worth the price of this softback book. It deals Moscow’s “Moslem” connections going way be to Stalin or even earlier in Communism’s history.
Their address is PO Box 146, Owings, MD, 20736 for further information or at their website listed above.
Reading this book is a good start to what CSP has just presented in their conference in this FR posting.
The Islamists are just the cannon fodder for the liberal globalists - both here and abroad. The liberals just get a bit upset when they feel the Islamists get sort of out of control at times.
You got it.
I thought of that when Hillary was making nice and smooching with Arafat's wife.
Pick out any enemy our country has had and Bummer sidled up to them and bowed bigtime.
The common ground is sexual liberation.
Don’t forget America’s Sweetheart—Maxi!

David Horowitz wrote a book called “Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left”
Both hate freedom and liberty. Therefore they have a common enemy in us.
They both are offspring from spiritual darkness.
Yes, that is basically what the hardcore commie left leaders of many of the various movements do. However, most of the liberal followers are played as "useful idiots". They actually believe and/or embrace the insane things the hardcore left pushes. The commies must laugh their asses off at how easily these morons can be manipulated.
