Islamofascism = Pacificism (Duh!)

A funny bit from SadlyNo!.

The Baron Bodissey posts the following disturbing news from a Russian correspondent who reports that violent radical Islamists have made a secret alliance with degenerate violence-hating hippies. Let’s read, shall we?

Recently we have observed an unexpected convergence of the Left-pacifists with Islamists on many issues. However, if one looks critically at the Pacifist movement, one will find many resemblances between that and Islam. Those resemblances may point at intrinsic ideological similarities between both movements.

I can’t wait to see where he goes with this. Hardcore Islamists are against drinking, drugs and women’s rights; hardcore hippies like to get high and boink a lot. Something tells me there’s not going to be too much common ground here.

However, the important difference between the two political movements is that Islamism has its principles in writing, whereas Pacifism has not developed any final version of its principles. UN declarations can be thought of as rough drafts, but they haven’t achieved their final form yet.

So one key difference is that one group has a set of principles while the other one doesn’t. Got. Cha.

Below I have listed some of those similarities:

1. Islam requires Jihad, which is the struggle to spread Islam all over the world. Pacifism requires struggle for Peace all over the world.

And McDonald’s requires the struggle to sell shitty food all over the world. I guess Grimace and the Hamburglar are part of the Muslamohippiesatanonazi cabal as well?

Surely some pacifist somewhere has written some kind of book or maybe given some kind of speech. A sermon maybe. Possibly on a mount...

More seriously, though, it is true that there is a certain kind of leftist who spends a lot of time loudly denouncing Israel while wearing a Palestenian support scarf. I don't happen to think that wearing a scarf is tantamount to endorsing the principles of Islamofascism (tm), and I kind of doubt that those folks are pacifists, but I would say that the lefties at those protests tend to be less attuned to nuance than I prefer and that this leads to a few of them occasionally saying very stupid things.

dr,

I think you missed the article. It's not so much that leftists sympathize with the Islamists, it's that Islam is a word that means 'Peace' (sort of) and the Peace movement is for peaces, ergo, they are the same thing.

Oh, well if he's got a syllogism then he wins. Them's the rules!
