Strange Bedfellows: The Irony Of Transecting Agendas Between Radical Islam and The American Far Left

After hearing the transcript of the new Osama video today and thinking back at some of Ahmadinejad's more recent ramblings about the west it occurred to me just what unlikely partners they have become with what are now, the mainstream of the Left wing in our American political spectrum. What also struck me was the irony of such a union. Among other things, the enemy of my enemy is my friend came to mind. But most striking was the oft heard realization around conservative circles, that the liberals in this country would be the first to die and be persecuted were the Islamists to get their much revered Caliphate state here in the US. More specifically, were the liberals in America to win every single battle they now fight for the radical islamist here and abroad, their own values, or lack thereof would be the first casualties of the Islamist new found "Civil Liberty". Everything the left holds dear is an absolute affront to Sharia law and to Islam in general. Yet we have Osama quoting Chomsky, lamenting global warming, etc... and liberals in this country attempting to grant known terrorists Miranda rights that only united states citizens enjoy, putting Muslim foot baths in on college campuses, and fighting for designated prayer time for Muslims in schools.

The real difference is though folks, that Osama, Ahmadinejad, and their ilk are playing the libs like Clapton plays a blond strat and its working, achieving their ends. The libs however think they are appealing to the broader kinder nature of the Radical Islamist by their efforts and actions and being lead to believe by the Islamists that this is in fact working. That if we just stop fighting them and give them the "rights" they deserve, everything will be peachy keen. They really believe that this will foster a peaceful globalist society, that does not war with its neighbors and does not seek to overthrow governments and push its own agenda upon the rest of the world. As I have already supposed above however, this is simply not the case. For the Islamist, this is a mere marriage of convenience and an opportunity to decieve the enemy as they are taught to do in their most Holy books.

To close I would like to quote for you one of the most hilarious couple of lines from Osama's most recent rant. He says first, "You permitted Bush to complete his first term, and stranger still, chose him for a second term," then, "after several years of tragedies of this war, the vast majority of you want it stopped. Thus, you elected the Democratic Party for this purpose, but the Democrats haven't made a move worth mentioning. On the contrary, they continue to agree to the spending of tens of billions".

Note the incredulity of these two statements, he is angry because his unwitting puppets have not done their job properly. Strange bedfellows indeed!
