re: #142 Thanos

It might head that way awhile, but it will never stand for very long here. If you haven’t noticed now that O’s in office there’s a change in meme underway in some of the left as well. People will hate me and cat call me here, but …. if the “anti-jihad” movement here or in Europe hopes to succeed, they need some of the left as well on their side - they are just making noise for votes if they aren’t trying to gain allies for the cause from the left. In Europe there is zero chance of success without some from the left, that’s why toting Nazi baggage is so damaging to the cause. Here, we can fend it off with moderates and right, there they can’t. So if they are serious about anti jihad in Europe and not just looking for populist votes then they better look in the mirror, do some soul searching, and start seeking some allies from the left as well.

Absolutely true. The left has just as much to lose from Islamofascism as does anyone else. In fact, it ought not to be a left versus right thing but a democracy versus fascism thing.
