Enlisting the Left Flank
Thursday
We received the following email, and thought it was worth sharing.
Another term you might add to the goal of Citizen Warrior is; "to EXPOSE Islam for what it is." I am an American on the left who is newly aware of the truth of what's happening in the world with Islam today. Until the invastion of Europe in 2015 I had thought the people speaking against Islam were just the same right-wing conservatives complaining over redneck ideals. I've good reason for my assuption; I've heard a lot of it over the last few years; All the lying that's been done by the right-wing against Bill Clinton and Obama and Hillary, etc. And all the lies in favor of Geo. W Bush, etc. The politicizing of regular American issues has stopped millions of middle and left Americans from realizing the truth, that Islam is invading the free world. The left wrongly assumes, as I also did for a very long time, that the warning trumpets being sounded about the danger of Islam are only the right-wing crying wolf — again.
Please find a loud and trustworthy voice from the left-wing to speak up about this issue and spread the word!
Every American: Christian, Jew, Hindu, Buddhist, Pagan, Atheist, Goth, G.L.B.T., Female, Free Spirit, Psychic, P.E.T.A., Free Thinker, Democracy Supporter, Comedian, Artist, Humanitarian, Intellectual, Pot Smoker, Wine and Beer Connoisseur, Lover of Life, Lover of the ideal of what America can one day become, etc., should be standing tall against the encroachment of dark intolerance that is Islam.
Instead of Rebel flags and Right-wing racist flags at Anti-Islam rallies, we should be seeing Gay Flags, American flags, Christian flags, Science-related flags, etc. I believe we would see more envolvment from the middle if someone famous from the left would do something for the cause. Try to enlist Bill Maher or someone like like that. Surely such a person exists.
I have enlightened my friends on the left who at first compared Christianity to Islam. I explained it this way: Christianity, in relation to its danger in the modern world, is akin to leaving a hungry Shitzu dog in a room of unattended kindergartners; it might not be ideal, the dog might poop or pee on the floor or could even nip the finger of a pupil if its tail was pulled too roughly. But Islam is the same as leaving a hungry wolf in the same situation. While both animals are canines... they are very different animals. Some have understood this, but it only left them feeling helpless and overwhelmed and most just want to ignore the invasion... I don't think they really believe it is really happening. Almost none of them knows one thing about Islam ideology.
I hope someone will utilize something I've written here to help preserve our country and free way of life. Please enlist the left-wing! Thank you!
We wrote back and said Bill Maher is already enlisted, and we sent this article, because Maher is not alone: Liberals Can Remain Liberals and Still Recognize Islam as a Threat.

It may be illustrated that if Islam is represented as a tree then the fruits then the fruits of that tree are the many brutal, violent and deadly jihad terror entities. Such as ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, al Shabaab , Hamas, Hezbollah, P.I.J. etc. With this statement, the Wisdom of the teachings of Jesus may, very much, apply to this subject. For Jesus taught “Ye do know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.” After saying this Jesus told them what He told them when He said “By their fruit ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:16, 17, 18,.20. [K.J.V.] In conclusion, Islam is a corrupt tree and also a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14:6. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. 5:12,13,20.
For a more full understanding of the actual nature of the Koran a person need to look back in time before the coming of Muhammad and then the Koran. Back to the First Century AD which was the time of early Christian church. For the Early Christian Church had and now in modern times the Christian church still has the Gospel of Christ, First Corinthians 15:1-4. Much later, in time, came Muhammad and he gave much information, that many believe to be divine, some of which is said to have been obtained from an angle from heaven. This information was written down on different objects and things Those written words in different objects was then compiled together and then eventually went into the composition of what is now called the Koran, As some also call it the Qur’an. The Koran is actually, that is in reality, another gospel, apart and greatly different from the Gospel of the Christian Church. Such a thing was predicted in the Bible. For the Bible does warn about those who will come and offer to people another gospel other than the one shown above, First Corinthians 15:1-4. For it is warned about any other “gospel” in the Bible. For it is written in the Bible “Though we or an angle from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so I say now again, if any man preaches any other gospel unto you than ye have received, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:8, 9. [K.J.V.] Therefore, the Koran is the result of the deception of a false prophet, Mathew 7:15., who may have come in contact with a fallen angle, a demon, So the imams and mullahs who preach it a truth to other are accused of and by God.
How many of the "lies" you were told about the clintons and obama do you now regard as true since your realiation about Islam
I think it is important to realize that a certain faction of the Left has purposefully embraced Islamic radicalism with a view that Islamism is a very useful partner against "Western Imperialism".
One of the best writers on this subject is French essayist, Pascal Bruckner:

In turn, if you read Majid Nawaaz and Ed Husain's books about their radicalization process, they discuss how Leftist political theory and anti-colonial philosophy has been adopted by Islamists.
This symbiosis makes both Islamists and Leftists much more powerful in their attachment to Islam than they would be otherwise. They end up sharing a language and philosophical framework and sense of moral outrage against the "Right", even though they seem like they should be dire enemies of each other.
At any rate, I say all of this because I have come to see that the relationship between Leftism and Islamism is much more complex and hard to address than one would think.
When I make comments on Leftist Islamo-positive news sites like Alternet or ThinkProgress, I always hit heavy on the fact that Islam was a imperialistic religion from the outset and colonized and destroyed indigenous cultures. I also hit hard against Islamic misogyny. Whether any of this really works to persuade, I don't know.
I have concluded that without a strategy to counter the Left's embrace of Islam and its incorporation of Muslims into the category of Victimized Peoples, we will be fighting a losing battle.
