MUST READ: EUROPE'S ISLAMIST-LEFTIST ALLIANCE, PARTS ONE, TWO & THREE

Europe's Islamist-Leftist Alliance, Part I
by Adrian Morgan

In 2004, David Horowitz published Unholy Alliances: Radical Islam and the American Left, a seminal work based on the author's 50-year experience of the American Left. Since the book was written, the links between Islam and the left have become stronger, and not just in the United States. The global anti-war movements have naturally forged alliances between leftists and Islamists- in short, a Black-Red Alliance.

One doesn’t need to look very hard to find evidence of this alliance- it permeates every aspect of European politics today.

It prides itself on a legitimacy which troubles the attentive-to-others western conscience: to be the voice of the oppressed of the planet. Yesterday, the voice of the poor claimed to come from Moscow, today it comes from Mecca! Today again, intellectuals express the views of the Koran, as they expressed the views of Moscow yesterday.
