Islamo-Communism: The Communist Connection to Islamic Terrorism

Islamo-Communism: The Communist Connection to Islamic Terrorism

In his new book Islamo-Communism: The Communist Connection to Islamic Terrorism, Charles Moscowitz documents how Communists cultivated radical Islam while helping to suppress more peaceful forms of Islam starting in the early 20^th Century. 

The Communists promoted and emphasized Islamic doctrines that mirrored those of The Communist Manifesto and the practical effect was that radicalized Muslims formed movements that closely resembled Communism and its sister political faith, Nazism. 

We are reaping the whirlwind of those efforts today as Communistic Islamic terrorists, many of whom were trained in the Soviet Union, disguise themselves as both traditional and as secular Muslims. They include the communized Mullah’s in Iran as well as the Ba’ath Socialists in Syria and the Soviet trained PLO. They engage in the same ongoing war against America, Israel, the Catholic Church and the western democracies as was waged by the Communists and the Nazis. 

Communist inspired Muslims have also been at war with Muslims who have advocated a more peaceful understanding of Islam as co-existing alongside non-Muslim societies, those who believed in a more tolerant and peaceful Islamic society. In his first book in this series, The Nazi Connection to Islamic Terrorism: Adolf Hitler and Haj Amin Al-Husseini published by WND Moscowitz wrote about one such Islamic leader, Faisal ibn Hussein, first King of Syria and then of Iraq, who signed a peace agreement recognizing Palestine as a Jewish State in 1919. Faisal’s fellow progressive Muslims were gradually driven out of power and in many cases killed by radicals such as Haj Amin al-Husseini, named by the British as Mufti of Jerusalem, who closely collaborated with Hitler in Berlin during World War II. 

Moscowitz points out that while westerners, including the British and the Americans have often unwittingly sided with Muslim radicals at the expense of those holding a more peaceful approach, the Nazis and the Soviet Communists cultivated, armed, trained and indoctrinated the radicals. 

The legacy of the Soviet Union lives on today with radical Communist Mullah’s manufacturing nuclear weapons in Iran, the Ba’ath Socialist regime of Bashar al-Assad dropping nerve gas in Syria, the radical Muslim Brotherhood, founded by Marxist educator Hassan al-Banna and closely allied first with the Nazis and then with the Soviets wreaking havoc in Egypt, and with remnants of the Soviet trained and financed PLO along with the Iranian proxy Hezbollah and the Muslim Brotherhood offshoot Hamas agitating against Israel. 

The conflict today is between the western democracies and peaceful and progressive Muslims on one side and the communized radicals who run Iran and who are agitating for world war with terrorism and communist style propaganda on the other. Like the Communists of old, the radical Islamo-Communists seek one world government in order to change humanity toward their evil vision of Utopia. Like the Communists, the Islamo-Communists seek control over all aspects of the lives of those under their control. They call their version of the nanny state Sharia.  Like the Communists, the Islamo-Communists believe in the “struggle” or the “revolution” which they call “jihad.” 

Those of us who are fortunate enough to live in the West need to understand the radical nature of the enemy that wages war against us. We need to read the verses in the Koran that the Islamo-Communists take literally. We need to contrast the virtues of our own free system and way of life with the totalistic world order vision of the Islamo-Communists. Franklin Roosevelt successfully contrasted American virtues with Nazism and Ronald Reagan did likewise with the Soviets. Both were victorious because both identified the spiritual corruption of Nazism and Communism. We need to do the same regarding Islamo-Communism.
