An unholy alliance: Leftism and Islamism

[AmericanThinker] American colleges, known for fostering social movements, have witnessed a curious alliance in recent decades—the Leftist-Islamist coalition, an uneasy and yet significant force. This essay delves into this collaboration, raising questions about its ideological compatibility and financial transparency.
Not just American colleges. The alliance is evident every time the Globalist Pope Anthony Gutierrez - and any other Globalist cleric (employee of anything with international & non-profit in its name) - open their yaps.
The political leanings of American faculty have been a topic of discussion since the 1930s. Studies like those by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education and the Higher Education Research Institute (HERI) consistently show a higher concentration of liberals, particularly in humanities and social sciences. The McCarthy era of the 1950s further intensified scrutiny of political views in academia, sparking debates about academic freedom and potential bias.

The 1990s saw the emergence of Islamist activism on U.S. campuses, with the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at the forefront. Founded in 1992 by Hatem Bazian, SJP actively advocates for Palestinian rights and criticizes Israeli policies. The group aligns itself with the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement and promotes an "anti-normalization" stance towards Zionist and most Jewish organizations. SJP’s activities and pronouncements have been met with controversy, including accusations of anti-Semitism and support for extremism.

Despite their apparent ideological differences, Leftists (Marxists) and Islamists find common ground in shared perspectives that fuel collaboration on various issues, particularly those related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Student organizations like SJP often partner with leftist groups to organize protests, campaigns, and initiatives—collaboration extends to academics from both backgrounds too, who engage in joint research projects, conferences, and publications that critically examine power structures, global politics, and their impact on marginalized communities.

The main problem here is that the role of academia (particularly leftist professors) in promoting a benign image of Islam while downplaying or ignoring its political aspects, is that it portrays Islam as compatible with democratic societies—this is a deliberate attempt to mislead the public about the nature of Islam.

The Left is addicted to protesting.
Many protesting participants do it more for the emotional group gathering, than the issues cited.

However, given the many ODD abnormal social habits and Anti-Islamic practices, that Western Leftist protesters commonly engage in.

They might want to rethink this addictive alliance and seek other protest causes to feed its emotional addiction. Because Islam nations (IRAN) quickly beheads, publicly whips, and/or imprison persons engaging in such ODD, abnormal social habits and Anti-Islamic practices.

Down to even wearing commonly worn western clothing. Like snug blue Jeans, females walking around w/o a face covering in t-shirts, and no more 1pc swimsuits or tongs.
