Jihadists are not hijacking planes anymore. They are hijacking leftists.
Two years ago, Hamas terrorists committed the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. In one night, Hamas killed 1,200 men, women, and children; raped and assaulted countless women and girls; and took 251 hostages back to Gaza.
But on this year’s anniversary of October 7, leftists took to the streets of New York City clad in keffiyehs and waving Hamas’ flag, chanting praises for the massacre.
The scene from NYC was not spontaneous. It was another episode in a decades-long bloodless revolution. In a 1991 memorandum, the Muslim Brotherhood, a forerunner to Hamas, detailed its strategy for jihad in America. Brother Mohamed Akram wrote:
The process of settlement is a “Civilization-Jihadist Process” with all the word means. The Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western Civilization from within. (Emphasis added).
The New York City rally is proof that, 35 years after Akram penned this plan, jihadists have succeeded in hijacking leftists.
The leftist-jihadi alliance makes almost no sense — American leftists should recognize the glaring illiberality of radical Islam. In Afghanistan, for example, women cannot speak or show their faces in public; and, in the Middle East and North Africa, 700,000 child brides marry Muslim men every year. Add to that rape culture, pervasive and violent persecution of Christians, and the death penalty for homosexuality.
But, for leftists, logic doesn’t matter as long as America is dismantled. The ends justify the means, and as the proverb goes, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
It is clear America has a jihad problem approaching hard and fast from the left. If the United States is to remain rooted in its founding principles — religious liberty, free markets, Christian ethics, and the dignity and equality of the sexes — Americans must resist the “global intifada” unfolding in our streets, universities, and halls of power.
How?
