ISLAMOLEFTISM
Eric Walberg - who believes that “Jews have a long history of building up wealth and control in their ‘host’ societies, only to ‘go beyond the Pale’” and remarks: “Funny this fascination with drinking blood among Jews” - celebrates the coming together of natural allies:
What is striking about this latest conference is the growing cooperation both within the Muslim world and between the anti-global left and Muslims. This should come as no surprise, considering the traditional focus of the left on defending victims of torture.
I suppose Pol Pot was a “victim of torture” in that his regime was cruelly accused of it, and also of murdering a few million Cambodians. Following leftist tradition, Noam Chomsky defended him. Same deal with defenders of Mao and Castro; it’s a leftist tradition, you see.
Who are the biggest victims of torture in the world today? Of course, Muslims, primarily in Iraq and Palestine, but everywhere in the West, and just about in every country that is predominantly Muslim.
It would do Walberg well to read that bolded section again.
The key forum at the conference: “bridge building between the left and Islam” focussed on re-evaluating the relations of the left and the Islamists, as well as on practical ways to increase cooperation.
Difficult to see this moving ahead unless the Left gets its bitches under control. Have you seen what those tramps wear? Also, Islamists have a small problem with gay marriage, but only insofar as they prefer gay executions. No deal-breaker.
Ali Fayyad of Hizbullah ... referred to Gramsci’s argument about creating a common front at important historical junctures to induce historical change, after which the different groups can go their separate ways. What a lovely irony to have an Islamist quoting a Western communist theorist.
Lovely!
Johannes Anderson of Denmark criticised the Danish left for not standing behind Muslims during the cartoon controversy, allowing a weak prime minister to emerge unscathed.
He emerged unscathed, did he? That won’t do. That won’t do at all.

Paul said it best in Romans: “Their thoughts have become futile.”
Seriously, none of those quotations make the least bit of sense, and all of them demonstrate a grotesque lack of rational cognitive ability. I’d be amazed, but I encounter that particular species of insanity all the time because I’m a musician.

Well if Muslims would stop killing and torturing each other, things would be a lot better.Ali Fayyad of Hizbullah ... referred to Gramsci’s argument about creating a common front at important historical junctures to induce historical change, after which the different groups can go their separate ways
Soooo, after the caliphate is established, and Bin Laden has his nukes, you really think he is just going to let you go off by yourself? Man this guy is really stupid.Hey Eric, the Muslims who want to live and let live think you an idiot. The ones who shake you hand and welcome your counsel want a world of only islam. There will be no ‘go their separate ways’. You’ll have only two options. Convert to their ways or die. Come to think of it, every cloud does have it’s lining of silver.
...the traditional focus of the left on defending victims of torture.
LOL.
Some facts on leftist Australia’s beloved godfather, E.G. Whitlam:
The Gough Fan Club has never disputed Clyde Cameron’s account in China, Communism and Coca-Cola (1980) about how Whitlam told cabinet in 1975 that he was “not having hundreds of f———Vietnamese Balts coming into this country”. The Whitlam government’s excessively harsh policy to potential asylum seekers is documented in Hal G.P. Colebatch’s recent PhD thesis at the University of Western Australia.
The fact is that Whitlam did not want anti-communist Vietnamese entering Australia. But it was the anti-communists who were the genuine asylum seekers at the time - fleeing the communist regime which conquered South Vietnam in April 1975. In her book, The Long Journey (MUP 1984), Nancy Viviani suggested that the Whitlam government’s hostility to Vietnamese refugees was partly motivated by “a care for the attitudes” of the North Vietnamese communist leadership.
During Whitlam’s prime ministership, Australia formally acknowledged the Soviet Union’s sovereignty over Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, a policy which was reversed by Fraser’s government. These three Baltic states were incorporated into the USSR as a consequence of the notorious Nazi Soviet Pact of 1939. In a paper delivered at the Australian National University in September 1978, Whitlam said that he doubted “all the stories that appear in the newspapers about the treatment of people in Cambodia”. In other words, three years after Pol Pot’s killing fields began operations, Whitlam remained to be convinced that the communist Khmer Rouge was into mass murder - in the face of all evidence.
In 1976 Whitlam supported the idea that Labor should seek money (in secret) from Saddam Hussein’s dictatorial Ba’ath Socialist Party to fund the previous year’s election campaign.
They want to kill me and I want to kill them.
So what’s the difference?
Sadly, they have the guns and they have the fucking money.
CL - I know, I was a card-carrying member of the ALP in those days (and branch executive). I was complicit in electing the worst government in the history of Australia.Posted by Jack from Montreal on 2007 04 09 at 11:54 AM • permalink“I’ve changed through the past years and grown through criticism. We should not be afraid of it. We fight for democracy in the Middle East and Europe against neo- liberalism which is taking away our rights everywhere.”
Apparently Mr. Anderson hasn’t had an opportunity to discuss with his Muslim brothers the Islamic notion of “democracy”.
A marriage made in hell. The divorce should be explosive.

And the ALP and the rest of the Australian Left still hold that man up as a hero???
Sick and twisted.

And as usual, once the Left finally gets its collective head out of its collective ass and realizes the danger posed by Islamofascism, they’ll turn into exactly what they’ve accused everybody else of in the meantime, namely paranoid crazies who will see a terrorist in every single Muslim they encounter and support the wholesale nuking of Muslim strongholds. Hell hath no fury like a Leftist scorned.
Out of curiousity, I did a search on Eric Walberg, and found an “open letter” to Mohamed El Baradei about his visit to Israel…
For an internationally respected Arab official to be so servile to Israel, the main source of world terrorism today, is an insult to his fellow Arabs and to all peace-loving people.
Of course we know what happened to the last official to ask to see Dimona. That was President J F Kennedy, and since Dallas 1963 there have beeen no more people with the courage to stand up to Israel. Oh, I forgot Iraq. Funny what happened to IT.
Holy Crap, so THAT’S why Kennedy was murdered!!
The Left.. is there ANYTHING they won’t blame the Jooooos for?
Ugh.
#2 Hucbald, are your musicians going to attend the free-the-islamist concert in Mogadishu?
Posted by Wimpy Canadian on 2007 04 09 at 05:17 PM • permalinkFurther to #4 and #5. “Gramsci’s argument about creating a common front at important historical junctures to induce historical change, after which the different groups can go their separate ways.”
Which was fine for Gramsci, who was writing theoritically in the late nineteeenth century. Then some years later Orwell wrote Animal Farm, which accurately explained that authoritarian power groups don’t go their seperate ways once a goal is achieved, but that the more powerful one goes on to dominate - tyrannically. And in twentieth century practice that’s how it’s ever been.
The Danish pacifist (I’m sre he is) says “We fight for democracy in the Middle East and Europe against neo-liberalism”
Yeah, s

Posted by Wimpy Canadian on 2007 04 09 at 05:29 PM • permalinkAt the last ANSWER march here in LA, AT LEAST half the herd was “truthers”.
The left will make common cause with anything against the rest of us.
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2007 04 09 at 08:19 PM • permalinkThe left’s subservience to Islam came in to play in the recent slavery anniversary. Much of the left-wing media concentrated on Britain’s appalling record in abolishing slavery a mere 200 years ago. Not a mention that slavery still exists in Muslim countries in West Africa. No word that it was not finally abolished in the Arab world countries until 1970 (Oman). Why it was only 1962 that the centre of Islamic belief, Saudi Arabia, outlawed the practice.
But ssshhh, the left must not be seen to be Islamophobic.Do you Karl Marx take Mohammed

Who are the biggest victims of torture in the world today?
My guess would be Africans. Why not? They have more homicidal dictators per capita than anyone else.
Right behind them would be the Muslims, for the same reason. I would guess the safest places to be a Muslim these days, as far as avoiding torture by the state goes, are Israel and Iraq.
