I've often wondered why a dedicated Marxist like Obama loves Islam so much (other than being raised a Muslim). Came across a you tube video late last night on modern Islamic movements in 20th century Egypt and it mentioned Muslims flirting with Marxism just before the Islamic terrorism boom started in the 60's and 70's. Looks like modern Islam may have adapted Marxist ideologies?

Marxism joined with Sharia! Worst of all possible worlds!!

Thanks for the informative post.
Islam, Marxism and Nazism all rely on absolute brutal tyrannyrely and deception in order to thrive.

The Islamic State may have medieval-style punishments for moral crimes (lashes for boozing or fornication, stoning for adultery), but its social-welfare program is, at least in some aspects, progressive to a degree that would please an MSNBC pundit. Health care, he said, is free. ("Isn't it free in Britain, too?," I asked. "Not really," he said. "Some procedures aren't covered, such as vision.") This provision of social welfare was not, he said, a policy choice of the Islamic State, but a policy obligation inherent in God's law.

Basic Reality 101...

Marxism & Sharia are BOTH Leftwing Totalitarian systems.

Remember, Leftism has many brand names but the goal is always the same.

It is a natural fit.

I believe they did do just that.

Islam is a political movement with many fanatical useful idiots.

This is interesting, and in many ways hits the nail on its head.

“National Communism” is unpalatable to many Islamics or Islamists because it tends to operate within borders and doesn’t offer strict uniformity cross-borders or nations.

“Islamic communism” or Islamism in general does not recognize country borders. It works on the basis of internationalism, so long as Islamic ideologies are embraced by anyone of any ‘nationality or country’.

Additionally, although Islamic-marxists or even secular socialists and communists actively promote an ideology of equality and diversity, they don’t practice it for themselves.

I’ve often observed communist, socialist or marxists (secular or islamic) who are primarily interested in amassing personal wealth, yet walk around dressed like a beggar on the street.

You are on point, Jim. Same with the Iranian Revolution. Communist-like to the bone.

[Nuc 1.1]

Yes and don’t forget folks like Nasser of Egypt. He was a socialist and a muslim.

Abu Bakr could afford to be generous with other people’s money—the jizrya tax paid by the nommuslims. Take money from the nonmuslims and give it to the muslims.

There are dotted lines between Marxism, fascism, and Islam going back to before the Armenian genocide. I used to have the books from which to pull those references (particularly between Sabbateans and Islamic mystics, whose connections go back to the 18th Century), but made the mistake of loaning them out. If you really want that history from as reliable a source as can be obtained on the topic, I suggest reading both volumes of “To Eliminate the Opiate,” by Rabbi Marvin S. Antelman.

When Essau demanded that Isaac share the wealth of food, that was Leninism.

When Abel did not share his wealth (and God’s blessing) with Cain, Cain practiced Stalinism.

“I’ve often wondered why a dedicated Marxist like Obama loves Islam so much (other than being raised a Muslim).”

I was thinking as I read your post this must be relative to the association Marxists obviously have with Islam. It’s almost as though they are playing good guy, bad guy.

Exposing them is the best way to win needed support in the game of hearts, and minds. Bombing the shit out of them is the best way to win their war.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

I think the Marxists view the Muslims as useful idiots and sanction and support the Muslims attack on Western Civilization and capitalism. They have the same goals, destroy America, destroy capitalism, free markets and Western culture. I think the Marxists think they can 'ride' the success of the Muslims and then get rid of them in the end when America is destroyed.

They certainly are birds of a feather. Marxism/communism and Islam are both just centralized dictatorships whose goal is total control of the individual. Islam uses religion as a cover.

We have a two front war. . and Obama is the head of the spear.
