The election of Zohran Mamdani as Mayor of New York has shed new light on a growing and dangerous political partnership.  The radical left socialists/progressives have teamed up with Islamists to control the Democrat Party.  Who is their shared enemy?  Conservative Americans who love their country, respect law and order, and believe in our God-given rights: life, liberty and freedom of conscience.  The Islamist-Socialist partnership is awkward.  While the left champions terrible ideas such as defunding the police, LGBTQ special rights, boys in girls’ bathrooms and sports, transgender surgeries on children, open borders, rights of illegals over citizens, etc. – these practices are not tolerated in Islamic countries.  Islam-dominated nations are totalitarian in nature with women’s and LGBTQ rights suppressed to extreme levels.  In much of the Muslim world, women are little more than slaves, and gays are killed.

In the 1,400 years that Islam has spread, it has destroyed every culture it touched.  Muhammed, their prophet and role model, spread Islam by the sword by forced conversions, killing or enslaving all in its path.  He married his favorite wife Aisha when she was six years old and consummated the relationship when she was nine years old.  Child bride marriages continue in many Muslim countries today.

The global jihad continues in our own country as demonstrated in the recent shooting of two National Guardsmen in D.C.  The shooter is a jihadi from Afghanistan who was given sanctuary in the United States by the incompetent Biden/Harris administration.  Unfettered Muslim immigration has been allowed to overrun much of Europe because of the feckless leadership of European leaders.  Out of fear of being labeled racist, British authorities stood by and allowed thousands of British girls to be groomed by Pakistani Muslim rape gangs.  Authorities prosecuted fathers for trying to protect their daughters.  Islam subjugates women, destroys freedom, and creates committed terrorists.   This destructive worldview cannot be allowed to spread in our great country.

Modern progressives, on the other hand, are pro-LGBTQ, pro-women’s rights and until recently, have been supportive of free speech.  Now, many of them cheered the assassination of free speech advocate Charlie Kirk. As for socialism, Winston Churchill accurately assessed it as “… the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.”  Rather than work and create something, socialists foster class/race envy and set American against American. 

What do these two extreme, but opposed ideologies have in common to unite them in a common cause?  A hatred of conservative Christian values and of Western Civilization.  This is why they unite against their common enemy – Conservatives, the Republican Party and President Trump.  Wise Americans must be aware of this dangerous growing partnership and keep them away from political power.
