Two Evils: Leftist Secular Education and Political Islam

David Horowitz hits a home run with this analysis. Thanks to David Wood at Answering Muslims for posting this.

Two Evils:

1. Leftist Secular Liberal Education run by government

2. Political Islam (stealth Islam, stealth Jihad, civilization Jihad, slow creeping Sharia law) along with the more violent Islamic Jihadist terrorism.

I would add that so called “homosexual rights” (rights to adoption and marriage) and laws and tribunals against “hate speech” (against calling homosexuality sin), abortion rights, pornography, and Darwin’s theory of Evolution as pure dogmatic science, and relativism are also part of the secular liberal leftist government education.

Horowitz “nailed it”. I am glad he investigated the details and has communicated it well here. This needs to be published far and wide. This is probably the best 12 minute summary of these issues I have ever heard.

Horowitz’s phrase, “Political Islam” is somewhat redundant, because Islam by nature is political; but it is necessary for communication and emphasis so that people will see Islam for what it really is.

The Muslim brotherhood of Egypt founded by Hassan Al Banna and encouraged by Sayyid Qutb (who was executed by the Nasser government in Egypt and who wrote the books who inspired Osama Ben Laden and Ayman Al Zawahiri) spawned many Jihadist movements, including Al Qaedah and Hamas and Islamic Jihad, and they got their philosophy from the Qur’an, the Hadith, the Tarikh (history of Islam), the Sirat (the life of Muhammad), the Tafsirs ( the commentaries), and the Fiq (Islamic Jurisprudence) and the Ijtima (consensus of Islamic scholars). Sharia law comes from the application of all those things.

These modern Jihadist movements also want the Khalifate (office of the successor of the founder of Islam, Muhammad, a leader of all Muslims; kind of like a Roman Catholic Papal office) to be restored. The Khalif ( or Caliph is a person, the Khalifate is the office. It was abolished by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the secular founder of the modern state of Turkey, in 1924.

It is amazing that so many people are so blind to the truth of where these violent and stealth political movements came from.
