You guys would have fit right in with Hitler and Stalin.

Those individuals who present the Zionist war, global war, as means of population control like the racist British economist Thomas Malthus who found war and famine as means of population control for the poor people forgets that this war has been waged to change the Middle East map in favor of the Zionist state and to grab the real assets of the population of the region. Therefore, we are not talking about “poor people” to be eliminated. As matter of facts due to your policy of double standardness you have enrich yourself. Thus if global war should be used to control the population for lack of natural resources, then the best would be the population of those countries who consume and pollute the most for accumulation of capital and profits without any concern for others and the planet and are willing to attack on humanity to expand their sphere of influence.

The last Foreign Minister of Italy, Giancarlo Fini–who called Benito Mussolini the “greatest statesman of the 20th Century” as late as the mid-90s and was a frequent visitor to top government offices in all NATO countries and even Israel where Ariel Sharon called him a “good and friendly leader”–might very well be the face of things to come.

In Islam we have a system of “waqf” - which is a system of social security wherein the religious tax, called “zakat” and which is incumbent upon all Muslims being one of the five pillars of Islam, is distributed among the poor, travellers, various institutions such as schools and hospitals (which are free), etc. Additionally, there are a number of charitable practices in Islam which encourage people to share wealth. One of the traditions of our Prophet was that we look after our seventh neighbor and that we are not dutiful Muslims unless we want for our brethren what we want for ourselves. Historically, there were instances when very wealthy people were forced to give up their money to charity. To horde wealth in Islam is a sin.

In the modern context, such organizations like Hizballah have tremendous affect on people’s lives through their charitable work. Looking at what is happening now in Lebanon – Hizballah is rebuilding the destroyed areas, providing money to the homeless, etc. Everything one may think the government ought to do but is not doing. Hamas provided many schools for the Palestinians when the “authority” did nothing.

True, Islam gives people the right to private property – thus you can argue that it is “sacred” – but you ought not draw a conclusion that secular ideologies of neo-Nazis and whomever are the same as the religious ideas of Islam.

I think the whole point of the article is that fringe groups and those groups with extreme ideologies do cooperate for the larger end goal. Once certain foes are conquered, those groups will fight it out – as we saw in Afghanistan with the Soviet invasion. It has also been noted that “terrorist” groups cooperate – IRA with PLO, etc. I myself have received a few calls in the past from local KKK and neo-Nazi groups expressing their support for our mosque against the Zionist occupation in Palestine. It can be a strange world.

” Why would various neo-Nazis, Holocaust deniers, white separatists find themselves attracted to movements such as Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Egyptian Islamic Jihad? ”

The answer is that all of the above named groups believe in the “sacredness of private property”, and they all have one formidable common enemy which is called Socialism! Please remember Jimmy Carter/Ronald Reagan years of unlimited support for the Mujahedin of Afghanistan against Afghan socilaists!

book cover imageIn the violent world of radical extremists, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” In this provocative study, George Michael reveals how that precept plays out in the unexpected bonding between militant Islam and the extreme right in America and Europe.

At first glance these two groups would seem to share little if any common ground. Why would various neo-Nazis, Holocaust deniers, white separatists, and antigovernment radicals find themselves attracted to movements such as Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Egyptian Islamic Jihad? After all, the extreme right’s racist and radical Christian segments tend to deride and exclude all nonwhites and non-Christians, while Islamic fundamentalists angrily denounce all non-Muslims, especially Americans, as infidels. Nevertheless, as Michael shows, they have developed strikingly similar critiques on such issues as American foreign policy, the media, modernity, and the New World Order.

The first book to focus on the growing linkage between these two movements, The Enemy of My Enemy analyzes the histories and ideologies guiding these disparate groups, clarifies the nature of their mutual appeal, and shows how the Internet and globalization have made increased interaction possible. Michael notes that one particularly dominant thread running throughout both camps is a fervent anti-Semitism, accompanied by strong pro-Palestinian views, anger over Israel’s influence on American policymakers, and opposition to the Iraq War and the U.S. presence in the Middle East.

Michael also speculates on how the so-called War on Terror might unfold if this unexpected and alarming convergence grows stronger. While the thought of Americans assisting or fighting alongside Islamic militants—in America—sounds utterly far-fetched, Michael points out that some members of the extreme right have publicly expressed admiration for Al Qaeda’s audacious attacks on 9/11.

Daring to consider the unthinkable, Michael provides an insightful and sane look at the possibilities for collaboration between these groups and raises a quiet but clear alarm for anyone concerned about America’s future.

“A detailed and reliable study of a neglected topic—the rapprochment, ideological as well as political, between extremists on the American right and Islamist extremists. It is widely believed that because of the racism and the xenophobia of the former and the anti-Christian attitudes of the latter such
a convergence is well nigh impossible, but as the author shows, ‘the enemy of my enemy is [still] my friend.’”–Walter Laqueur, author of A History of Terrorism

“A fascinating and authoritative book about a threat that has been ignored by most terrorism experts.”–Christopher Hewitt, author of Understanding Terrorism in America: From the Klan to Al Qaeda and Political Violence in Modern America

GEORGE MICHAEL is assistant professor of political science and administration of justice at the University of Virginia’s College at Wise and the author of Confronting Right-Wing Extremism and Terrorism in the USA.

The claims of Palestinian complicity in the murder of the European Jews were to some extent a defensive strategy, a preemptive response to the Palestinian complaint that if Israel was recompensed for the Holocaust, it was unjust that Palestinian Muslims should pick up the bill for the crimes of European Christians. The assertion that Palestinians were complicit in the Holocaust was mostly based on the case of the Mufti of Jerusalem, a pre-World War II Palestinian nationalist leader who, to escape imprisonment by the British, sought refuge during the war in Germany. The Mufti was in many ways a disreputable character, but post-war claims that he played any significant part in the Holocaust have never been sustained. This did not prevent the editors of the four-volume Encyclopedia of the Holocaust from giving him a starring role. The article on the Mufti is more than twice as long as the articles on Goebbels and Goering, longer than the articles on Himmler and Heydrich combined, longer than the article on Eichmann–of all the biographical articles, it is exceeded in length, but only slightly, by the entry for Hitler.

The above-referenced essay was a CRITIQUE of the concept of “Christian fascism,” a questioning of its use by some on the radical left. Anyone actually reading it through will realize that.

The “Answering Islam” piece by the anonymous “Silas” is a work of Christian proselytization, an effort to show how Christianity rather tghan Islam is the truth—not an exercise in “truth in labeling about Mr. Leupp.”

But good try, anonymous Elderofziyon.

This whole writing is horribly naive. Do you really think the “international Jewish conspiracy” died out in the 1930’s? Look again (see above) . The real brown shirts are those who try to disrupt people from speaking on campus when they disagree with their views. Why would you think someone who introduced Daniel Pipes is a brown shirt? Is Pipes a member of a Nazi organization?

The people about whom Leupp is writing have said many times that they have no beef with Islam — only its extreme form. Is there no Christian extremism? And does using that term mean that all Christians are suspect? Leupp has written his own essay on the concept of Christian fascism, but somehow linking the concept to Islam is beyond his comprehension. http://counterpunch.org/leupp01132005.html

And of course, Mr. Leupp and his comrades simply sweep under the table the history of collaboration of leading Muslim clerics with the Nazis:

//The Mufti spent the remainder of the war assisting with the formation of Muslim Waffen SS units in the Balkans and the formation of schools and training centers for imams and mullahs who would accompany the Muslim SS and Wehrmacht units. Beginning in 1943, al-Husayni was involved in the organization and recruitment of Bosnian Muslims into several divisions. The largest of which was the 13th “Handschar” division of 21,065 men.//

Why do you call American conservatives fascists? You may disagree with their political views, but calling them fascist means that they have no political legitimacy in our country. Who gives you the right to decide that?

I’m reminded of “Students For Academic Freedom” founded by 60 year old nonstudent David Horowitz.

But thanks for monitoring the left sites, guys, and trying to make an impression. Entertaining.

Islamofascism (or Islamism) is the main threat facing modern civilization and ignorance about this threat is astounding. We hope that this event becomes regular and reaches every campus.

A great many Westerners do not see the clear distinction between Islam and Islamism (Islamofascism). They need to understand that the difference between Islam and Islamism (Islamofascism) is the same as the difference between Christianity and Christian Identity Movement (White Supremacy Movement).
