#5 The West doesn’t really want to defeat Islamic terrorism. It responds to terrorism while ignoring the ideology. And then it roots around for root causes that coincidentally turn out to all involve progressive policy priorities like economic inequality and global warming.The left sees Islamists as an anti-colonialist minority lobby rather than theocratic supremacists. Muslim Brotherhood front groups, like Communist front groups, are willing to use “useful idiots” on the left. But rather than forming a common front, Communists and Islamists hijack left-wing causes and make them their own. So, for example, Muslims turn #BlackLivesMatter protests into anti-Israel campaigns. A couple of points. The West is not the left. The left are useful idiots to the Communists and the Muslims. Their agendas are similar. The left is naive in thinking that the theocrats are their buddies. Perhaps it would make sense to wage war against the left as well as the Islamics and be done with it. |

#3 The Left and ISIS (and other assorted Muslim creeds) both seek the destruction of Western civilization. Thus its a marriage made in hate. |

#2 The Western political establishment, including but not limited to the left, learned to love the Taliban after 9/11. ISIS is just a group of islamofascists the public is temporarily permitted and required to hate. In the not too distant future Western leaders will be begging ISIS to enter negotiations. They will be offered political power, danegeld and symbolic acts of submission. The West will subsidize, protect and serve some political entity ruled by 'moderate' ISIS elements. etc etc See Afghanistan This is nothing but a farcical repeat of the 9/11 war debacle. |
