Fred requested we repost the following from the Powerline blog:
We have written many times over the years about the weird alliance between the far left and Islamic extremism. Is it just a marriage of convenience between seemingly antithetical ideologies, or are Communists and Islamists natural allies, since what they really care about is hating Western civilization and human freedom? I think the latter.
This is an instance of the alliance, embodied in a single individual:
The madman who screamed “Allahu Akbar” while stabbing an Asian and Jewish man in separate harrowing hate attacks on the Upper West Side was a fan of Karl Marx, with police finding one of the communist author’s books inside his apartment.
“Allahu Akbar” and Karl Marx. That sums it up nicely.
Thanks, TC.
Thanks for pointing out this post, Fred. Confirms some unsavory things about this character, if you follow the links to the NY Post story. Copies of the Quran and Marx’s writings in his apartment, etc.
