_________________________UNHOLY ALLIANCE: RADICAL ISLAM AND THE AMERICAN LEFT

www.olivetreeviews.orgSemi-Weekly Review of the News - January 20, 2005
When David Horowitz speaks, most everyone listens--even the Left. David grew up in America with parents who were active Communists. He went on to be one of the primary leaders of the anti-American, anti-war movement of the 1960's. He gradually saw their hypocrisy, deceit, and lawlessness and fled the movement. He went on to become the founder of conservative organizations including the excellent Web site www.frontpagemag.com. His many books exposing the Left are best-sellers. His newest is "Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left." Everything he does reveals how the Left thinks--or doesn't think. He will be one of my radio guests this weekend, and he deserves your ear.
We have witnessed the abysmal behavior of the Left this last year, but you have only seen the tip of the ice berg. Horowitz reveals how the Left in America actually favors the Islamic agenda more than the safety of America and thus they have formed this "unholy alliance." The Left has always defined itself for what it loathes and in recent history it has never loathed anyone more than George W. Bush. Thus, it will sympathize with whatever conservatives in office oppose. They make our most-generous, benevolent nation on earth into a villain.
How do they rationalize all of this? They insist that "capitalism causes Islamic fanaticism." Capitalism is evil. Socialism and Communism aren't nearly as evil. If the West, and particularly America, weren't so "evil", the Arab world wouldn't even turn to radical Islam in the first place. Hold it! They turned to it in the 7th Century when they didn't know what a political conservative was! This is one time I wish I really was making this stuff up. Once again, I must be drinking tea with the "mad hatter" in Alice's bizarre world.
Who is a part of the Leftist bastion? We have all sort of groups from the ACLU, the "People for the American Way," the Hollywood Left, the religious Left, many in the mainstream media, blatant socialistic outfits, and even those further left than that. Their "religion" is secular humanism and their god is self. Speaking of the Hollywood Left, when a Dutch film maker was killed by Islamists in Holland a few months ago for making a film about the oppression of Muslim women, did you hear the deafening "sound of silence" from Hollywood and also from the feminists of the world? Where was Michael Moore?
Some of this mind-set have taken leave of their senses and most others are just operating under "strong delusion." America is guilty in their eyes and the ideology of these individuals and organizations endanger the security of America. Even while we rise to meet the needs in South Asia (amidst scorn there as well), to those of the Left who have formed this "unholy alliance" with Islam, our flag represents repression, censorship, bigotry, and intimidation. They care less that we are rescuing the perishing, both physically and spiritually-speaking.
Can this be related to anything biblical? The Bible talks about a time when God will actually send strong delusion due to the wickedness of the times (II Thess. 2:11). I believe we are entering that era. We are in the era of II Timothy 3 where everything is skewed and self is worshipped. And we are a part of the Isaiah 5:20 generation where evil is called good and good is called evil. America, who is good but not perfect, along with our president, are the most hated targets on earth.
Thus WE must be "salt and light" in an ever-darkening world.
