Excellent article. I have frequently thought in the last few weeks that it would not be surprising to see leftists begin to convert to Islam. It has everything they like: authoritarianism, irrationality, violence, and a heavily collectivist bent.

Interestingly enough, when the Spanish police broke up an al-Qaeda cell in Spain last week, the leader was found to be a Spaniard who had converted to Islam. His pre-Muslim background? Active in HB, the political wing of the Marxist Basque-separatist terrorist group ETA. That same day, I read about Hugo Chavez, the left wing dictator of Venezuela, praising bin Laden.

The doors between Marxism and Islam, in other words, open both ways, and I think the result is going to be an unbelievably dangerous and violent force. What makes it even worse is that several generations of American intellectuals, mentally deconstructed out of any ability to have a coherent thought, will be able to offer no leadership or resistence. (But then, I guess I really didn't expect much out of them anyway.)

Very thought provoking article, and a very good analysis.

All of the world's terrorists are first and foremost, psychotic marxist gangsters -- and _____________________ ... fill in the blank [Irish "republican," for example] distant second.

Most, like the self-styled "i r a" have become so addicted to their criminally-murderous ways -- robbing banks, trafficking drugs, kneecapping, blowing the arms and legs off babies, little girls and boys and little old ladies -- stuff like that -- that they probably don't even remember about half of the time what they were supposed to be about in the first place! And don't care!
