Christian Broadcasting Network: "How Leftists Aid Radical Islam"

How Leftists Aid Radical Islam
By Dale Hurd
CBN News Sr. Reporter


CBN.com –The London subway bombing was never supposed to happen in Britain, according to the British left.

For years they have said the U.S. War on Terror was a fraud , and the al-Qaeda threat was made-up. Summed up in the popular BBC TV series "The Power of Nightmares," the War on Terror has been a White House scheme to dominate the world. That's the same view as Al-Qaeda's, by the way.

It's alleged that the radical left in the west has forged an alliance with radical Muslims who want to destroy the west. CBN News witnessed this strange coalition in London in 2003: a massive anti-American, anti-war demonstration by radical leftists and radical Muslims. They are two groups with seemingly nothing in common except hatred of America, capitalism, and Israel.

The Hip Hop music and the pot smoke was an odd mix with the headscarves and the Muslim call to prayer. But it got even stranger when the leftists, who had been shouting obscenities and death threats against George Bush, became reverent during the prayer.

1. Fox is just the "mainstream" CBN News
CBN News has spent two decades pioneering the "RW attack in newssheep's clothing".

This bit of vileness may be their latest, but it's just par for the course for them.

3. This sums up their "journalistic integrety" nicely ...
But why would the left join with radical Muslims who hate most of their causes- like women's rights and gay rights, not to mention the radical left's lifestyle of sex, drugs, and rock- and-roll? We asked a former leader of the radical left in America.

"Leftists do not understand who they're dealing with," said David Horowitz, author of the book 'Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left.""In the real world, you say, 'You know, when these guys win, the first guys they're going to behead you.’ But leftists don't think that way. They have a kind of magical thinking. "

He says what the radical left sees is an ally in its long-running war against American Capitalism.

"Corporations are evil. There's a corporate ruling class,” he added. “And then along came these Muslims and they're blowing it up. Now, what did they blow up? They blew up Wall Street. The World Trade Center is the main target of the left. It's Wall Street. That's why Ward Churchill said they're all little Eichmanns, little Nazis. That's because in his demented view, if you're a part of the business system in America, you're killing people."


Schmucks

4. These are people who believe in Creationism, Adam and Eve,
a god who helps quarterbacks win Super Bowls, and gods who help ants find contact lenses for hikers who pray. I'd be offended if they did like me.

5. "CBN News witnessed this strange coalition"
...but apparently didn't bother speaking to anyone who took place in that massive march (me, for example), otherwise they wouldn't have come away with such a warped view of the marchers.

6. so they are going to send death squads out to kill Democrats
Pretty blatant... Cheney and Rove have told the MSM to falsely link Democrats to Islamic fundamentalist terrorism in advance of military assaults on Democrats within US borders.

8. I really tired of this new "LEFTIST" label we've been hearing.
Have you noticed how the right wings have started using that to describe Democrats and Liberals? "leftists" is a term usually reserved for guerillas in other countries who are portrayed as violent and ruthless.
