Confused: The Left and radical Islam
The Commies seem to have forgotten that they are athiests. Or maybe the Islamists have forgotten that Commies are athiests. Whatever.

Maybe it's the "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" philosophy??

More like John the fatal error of the Tudeh. WHo were the originators of the "Red Jockey, Green Horse" theory. Collaborating with Khomeni and shocked when he eradicated them and their families when he had his first opportunity.
Islam and the Left both have as their goals the destruction of Western Liberal Democracy. Where they differ is what happens next: the Caliphate or proletariat. Echoed with Dems willing to sacrifice the national security of the nation just so they can damage Bush.
Why fight when you can have "peace in our time?"

Well, I figure it's my time, and it's your time, and that makes it our time ... and what's a little pizza on our time? Freaking losers by any name ...

..So it was a welcome email I received from a friend the other day containing an Iraq News Network interview with British Laborite, progressive, Saddam ally and hero of such letwing websites as Counterpunch.org and CommonDreams.org, which should settle once and for all whether there are large numbers of pro-terrorist leftists out there who consciously think of alliance with the jihadists:
Mohammad Basirul Haq Sinha: "You often call for uniting Muslim and progressive forces globally. How far is it possible under current situation?"
Galloway: "Not only do I think it's possible but I think it is vitally necessary and I think it is happening already. It is possible because the progressive movement around the world and the Muslims have the same enemies. Their enemies are the Zionist occupation, American occupation, British occupation of poor countries mainly Muslim countries. They have the same interest in opposing savage capitalist globalization which is intent upon homogenizing the entire world turning us basically into factory chickens which can be forced fed the American diet of everything from food to Coca-Cola to movies and TV culture. And whose only role in life is to consume the things produced endlessly by the multinational corporations. And the progressive organizations & movements agree on that with the Muslims."
Otherwise we believe that we should all have to speak as Texan and eat McDonalds and be ruled by Bush and Blair. So on the very grave big issues of the day-issues of war, occupation, justice, opposition to globalization-the Muslims and the progressives are on the same side."

Communists seek to requisition the means of production to create a "Worker's Utopia". Islamists seek to requisition the means of production to enforce "Islamic Law".
Each faction seeks to confiscate the stuff of other people, and some of them seem to be willing to postpone their disagreement over the division of the spoils until after they win their joint victory. The same thing happened in 1979, where Tudeh planned to use Islamist support to overthrow the Shah and establish a socialist state in Iran.

No doubt John would have gone all goo-goo eyed over those peaceful Nuremburg rallies.

I know not everyone will see the further irony, but those who do may find it amusing.
Shortly after the US government encouraged Iraq to implement an "oil revenue-sharing program", conservative bloggers discovered communism in a guerilla fighter's poster.

Meh.
In the book The Shi'a Revival, written by an Iranian instructor at the Naval Postgraduate School in California, Vali Nasr talks about the historic unity between Shi'ism and leftist movements, stemming largely from the permanent second class status that many lived under for so long in Pakistan and Arab nations. For many locales, 'class struggle' meant by default 'religious struggle' of Shi'a v. Sunni.
Also, Che Gueverra shirts have been 'trendy' since I was in college, but the people wearing them are no more eager to live in a communist state than you are. It just brands them as being against 'the Man.' (tm) Foolish.

Frankly, I think it speaks very positively about the future of a country when Muslims, Christians, and atheists all come together to peacefully protest for political change. It sure beats shooting.
It is to laugh.
If shooting wasn't on the Hezbullah agenda, why have they refused to disarm john? When will Nasrallah "give peace a chance"?
As for peaceful demonstrations they are that way because its all Nasrallah has left. A visit to Michael J Totten's blog will provide enormous insight into what's now going on in Lebanon. the Shi ite militia of hassan Nasrallah is attempting to sieze power. thier first ham fisted effort was this: all the hezbullah cabinet members resigned. Nasrallah then declared the siniora government illegitimate because there were not enough Shi ites in it.
this is like the idiot sunnis in Iraq who started an insurgency and then demanded that elections be postponed because there was an insurgency.
When siniora carried on despite this foolish move, Nasrallah threatened to occupy Siniora's office. It is my understanding that the PM position is to be held by a sunni. When Nasrallah threatened, Siniora threatened right back. siniora said that he could not control his "street" if Nasrallah stormed the office.
nasrallah blinked. Now he's down to street theatre and tent city.
I would be not at all surprised to learn that shochu John preferred Nasrallah over siniora. I can't imagine why.
I wonder why Nasrallah has shifted his focus to toppling the Lebanese government. My guess, and its just a guess, is that if he came to power in lebanon he could demand that the UNIFIL forces leave, thus giving him a free shot at Israel. by connecting Hezbullah with Iran, Iran's diplomacy is more complex. If Nasrallah starts killing French soldiers it will be much harder for Larijani to weave his magic webs.

Shochu John claims not to see the blatantly obvious common ground between Hezbollah and the Nazis. He is either completely confused and clueless, or he endorses their vision. A third possibility: he is confused and clueless *and* endorses their vision.

Y'all know that grand standing is not required to post here, right?
There are actual, real links between Hezb Allah and Naziism. I have pictures. As a matter of fact, a lot of the Palestinian 'resistance' groups throughout the years show evidence of Nazi practices and ideology. (the Heil salute is the most commonly seen)
I read the autobiography of Konrad Wolf, the old head of foreign intelligence for the Stasi. (it's called Man Without a Face, for anyone who is interested... so named because it took the West Germans like 20 years to find out what he looked like) He said that when he went to the Middle East he was creeped out by the experiences. Why? Because when Arabs heard him or his comrades speaking German, they would run after their cars saying 'Heil Hitler,' saluting. Mein Kampf used to be a best seller in Egypt.
Nazi-Palestinian comparisons aren't just fictitious smears... they're real.
