The Unholy Alliance: coercion and terror as second nature

It was at the time of this terrorist wave that it first struck me that all these groups sprang up in earlier "Axis" countries: Germany, Italy and Japan. Now we know that on a philosophical level there's none to choose between the far Left and the far Right; the same mindset and principles lie at the roots of Islam: collectivism.

City Journal: "Rebels to the Death - A definitive, updated history of West Germany’s depraved Baader-Meinhof terrorists"

The Weather Underground, a leftist terrorist group from the 1970s, played a bit role in last fall’s presidential election through the association of unrepentant former Weatherman Bill Ayers with his fellow Chicagoan, Barack Obama. That kind of connection would have come as no surprise in Germany, where the Weather Underground’s far more deadly counterpart, the Red Army Faction (RAF), also known as the Baader-Meinhof gang, continues to cast a shadow over the country’s politics.In 1985, German journalist Stefan Aust published the definitive book on the RAF, The Baader-Meinhof Complex. His book has since been turned into a successful feature film of the same name,  (...) >>>

Atlas Shrugs: "UK: MUSLIM FANATICS LET INTO UK DURING G20"

HOME Secretary Jacqui Smith's department is under fire for allowing two leading terrorist sympathisers to enter Britain. Both spoke at the House of Commons last week at a pro-Palestinian meeting organised by a far-left Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn. One is Hussein Al Hajj Hassan, a member of the political wing of Lebanese terror group Hezbollah. The other is Dyab Abou Jahjah, a Belgian Muslim firebrand who has published disgusting anti-Semitic cartoons. (...) >>>

Hurd on the Web: "Swedish Leftists and Their Muslim Allies", by Dale Hurd

In my TV piece for CBN News from Malmö, Sweden about the rise in Muslim influence, I show leftists and anarchists marching alongside Muslims and Arabs who are chanting a death threat to Jews from the Koran. The Muslims are chanting "Khaybar Khaybar ya Yahud, jaysh Muhammad saufa ya'ud. The translation is "Khaybar, Khaybar o Jews, the army of Muhammad will return". Khaybar refers to a Jewish town on the Saudi peninsula wiped out by Mohammed in 628 A.D. The Muslim Hadith says that Muhammad killed the men in Khaybar and took the women and children as slaves. (Below is more raw footage of the march in Malmö against the Sweden-Israel Davis Cup Match on Saturday, March 7. It was not shot or posted to YouTube by CBN).

As I have reported before, anti-Semitism experts such as Manfred Gerstenfeld, Robert Wistrich and Andrei Markovits believe hatred of Israeli policies by the European Left has morphed into full-blown anti-Semitism. The fuel for it is ridiculously one-sided coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. You do see occasional statements from leftist political leaders that they object to Israel, but also oppose anti-Semitism. So, why march with anti-Semites? And where is the condemnation from Sweden's Leftist establishment for Muslims chanting death threats? >>>

This article does a great job in parsing pomo Buruma, as if facts and reality mattered! Buruma is not a quest for truth but renders an ideological indictment that tries to pass for it. Whereas some time ago we were still confused by their rhetorical parlor games, today it is no exaggeration to say that postmodernists' fascist roots are showing. That is what we're dealing with. As for the hatred, by rights that would belong in the realm of psychopathology (projection), if it wasn't used in a very scary way to stir up pathos and thus almost act as a Sorelian myth ...

Jihad Watch: "Fitzgerald: Ian Buruma, Geert Wilders, hatred, and ignorance"

Ian Buruma, who has been given to some remarkable pronouncements on Islam, published on Friday a remarkable article in The New York Times on Geert Wilders. The article, “Totally Tolerant, Up To A Point,” was intended essentially to blacken the name of Geert Wilders, to present him – for likening the Qur’an to Mein Kampf – as, by contamination, a Nazi himself (...) >>>

Politeia: "The Burning Streets: How We Got Here"

Seldom was an assumption as naive as the idea prevailing since 1989 that political radicalism was over, just because the major agitator - the Soviet Union - had collapsed under its own weight. This notion in the heads of security services, politicians and the general public supports the evidence that the West swallowed Communist disinformation and propaganda, hook, line and sinker. Here's one that pervades Western popular thinking to this very day. Also on the level of ideas 'Leftism' and its origins, has been very badly understood. The first harbinger of a better understanding was posited by philosopher and historian Sir Isaiah Berlin who coined the term, the Counter-Enlightenment in his book "Against the Current" in 1979 (Hogarth Press). In all probability this trouveille can be attributed to Nietzsche, who used the term "die Gegenaufklärung" at the end of the nineteenth century. (...) This radical Left movement is just as ready for a scorched earth as radical Islamism is. Whereas the former have nothing left to lose after their ideals collapsed over their ears, the latter are urged to self-sacrifice for a global victory of the collective Ummah. It is a marriage quite literally made in hell: both are negators of the life-force, but for different reasons. A culture's implicit sense of life is all-pervasive. Theirs has translated into the negative territory of nihilism and death-worship. For Muslims man is a mere plaything in the hands of a fickle God. To Postmodernists man is a drifter in a purposeless, unknowable universe whose fate is determined by chaos and glandular secretions. And this is how we got here: World Security Network: "Urban Radicalism in Europe and Terrorism", by Ioannis Michaletos (...) >>>
