An Unholy Alliance of Left and Islam?
New fears have emerged in recent years among neoconservative and pro-Zionist
groups that a dangerous and unholy alliance of the Left and Islam is emerging: a
European-based alliance in which “the deal is that the Leftist parties get a
number of new clients, I mean voters, in return for giving Muslims privileges
and subsidies, as well as keeping the borders more or less open for new Muslims
to enter.”
The second convergence is perceived to be a “hatred of America” that the
Left allegedly shares with Islamists. Thus, the Islamists are said to buy into the
Leftist critique of America and the West, while the Islamists fortify the same
anti-American instincts on the Left. The American commentator William S. Lind
writes: “What made possible the recent bombings in London [July 2005], and
the many more that almost assuredly will follow in Europe and the United
States, is the Marx-Mohammed Pact. Once again, two sworn enemies, Marxism
—specifically, the cultural Marxism commonly known as Political Correctness
—and Islam, have made a Devil’s bargain whereby each assists the other against
a common enemy, the remnants of the Christian West.”
Intriguing in these arguments is that the neoconservatives have, in fact,
captured one small element of reality that is accurate: a potential collaboration
among diverse political groups in the world that oppose Western traditions of
dominance and US hegemony and indeed do seek to cooperate to block their
effect. The neoconservatives, however, like to describe the US bid for permanent
preservation of unipolar American hegemony as “maintaining the Judeo-
Christian tradition.” While the Judeo-Christian tradition indeed represents a part
of Western culture, American global hegemony is about a great deal more than
that, and raises concerns on the part of other powers that involve much more
than “hatred of Israel and the Judeo-Christian tradition.” One right-wing anti-
Muslim website observes:
Iranian-in-exile Amir Taheri, too, has noticed this “red-black”
cooperation. According to him, Europe’s hard Left “sees Muslims as the
new under-class” in the continent: “The European Marxist-Islamist
coalition does not offer a coherent political platform. Its ideology is built
around three themes: hatred of the United States, the dream of wiping
Israel off the map, and the hoped-for collapse of the global economic
system.”

Thus, the battle lines are drawn, complicating Muslim integration into European
society and inserting global ideological struggle into the perception of European
Muslims.
