Muslims fighting against the Wahhabi death cult find themselves isolated from many of their brethren and demonized by leftists. Still they bravely stand against the rising tide of Islamism to defend their ideals and protect the hope of the world for an Islamic reformation that will see the Muslim peoples of the world take their rightful place in modernity.
One such group is Muslims Against Sharia who have issued a statement in support of the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s Islamofascism week:
Muslims Against Sharia congratulate David Horowitz FREEDOM CENTER and Mike Adams, Tammy Bruce, Phyllis Chesler, Ann Coulter, Nonie Darwish, Greg Davis, Stephen Gale, David Horowitz, Joe Kaufman, Michael Ledeen, Michael Medved, Alan Nathan, Cyrus Nowrasteh, Daphne Patai, Daniel Pipes, Dennis Prager, Luana Saghieh, Rick Santorum, Jonathan Schanzer, Christina Sommers, Robert Spencer, Brian Sussman, Ed Turzanski, Ibn Warraq and other speakers on the success of the Islamofascism Awareness Week.
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).
Predictably, leftists are offended that there are Muslims who break the first commandment of the Left: Thou Shalt Not Defend American Ideals. This commisar in training left the following pretentious comment on the M.A.S. site that shows how the left feels when some minority refuses to toe their Marxist line:
I hope that you realize that the people you are congratulating up there don’t care about that distinction either.
(Remember it was Ann Coulter who said of Muslims that “We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.”… and the other names on your list have said far worse.)
Rather these people-
1) Simply demagogue this issue as way of egomaniacal self-promotion for their pet cause… their own bruised egos.
2) Use this issue as a context for starting more preemptive military actions which they support because… well, who the knows at this point.
It’s been dirty American liberals like me have been trying to make clear the very distinctions you point out above for years now. The ones who truly see no distinctions? The right-wing demagogues who created this ‘awareness’ week.
This blog post I quoted in my piece points this out… that the same people you’re congratulating are the ones who saw/see no difference between Sunni and Shia, no difference between Hussein and bin Laden, and lump the entire Middle East into one amorphous ‘them’ to rail against.
If you are serious about this cause, I’d find some new (sane) allies and quickly.
Peace be with you.
Peace be with you if you buy a Che t-shirt and are willing to work as storm troopers for groups like A.N.S.W.E.R., the R.C.P. and any other White dominated Marxist group who imagine standing in the background as a glorious horde of “the oppressed” smashes the system and then meekly turns over the reigns of power to them and their college professors. I guess for the college Marxist crowd Muslims are the new Black.
And like my fellow Black Americans they get attacked when they don’t agree with the new plantation owners.
Muslims Against Sharia has a blog. Check them out. While you’re at it check out Brigitte Gabriel’s Act of America website. Maybe the two groups should work together?
