One thing should have become apparent to all who study Islam and communism as a threat doctrine. And that is when dealing with an alien system of thought, any attempt to fight it is doomed to fail or at least the cost of winning becomes unimaginably high if you do not understand how the enemy thinks, and therefore why they do what they do, and even in fact, what it is they intend to do. Once you can understand these things, you can predict their actions. If you can predict their actions you have at least the potential to defeat them.
For example, Islam differs from Christianity in several fundamental ways. One of them is in the eschatology. Christianity believes that “Jesus will come as a thief in the night” . One critical aspect of this is that nothing humans do can make these events unfold. Christian end times events are set by God and not by man.
Islam on the other hand, believes that it is up to the followers of Mohamed to create the conditions to bring on the end times. Worse, that the martyrs who died fighting for global Islamic manifest destiny are stuck waiting in their graves for the final battle in a city in Syria until the believers can force this mighty battle to decide all things. This city was Dabiq and was also the name of the Islamic State monthly magazine when they had it. And this is why all roads from the Islamic eschatology point of view, leads to Dabiq.
Understanding even this one tiny example of the fundamental difference in system of thought allows for a large degree of greater understanding in terms of Islam and what it seeks and why.
Another more contemporary example, and one that will set keyboards afire as they object to it, is how Israel had allowed itself to think that Hamas was in fact thinking like Israel does, and was trying to accumulate wealth and build a civilization for their own people and had given up the idea of the destruction of Israel. This I am told, by significant sources, was the reason for Israel’s lack of readiness on Oct. 7 2023. They were not able to understand Islam’s actual core motivations, and therefore Iran’s, The Muslim Brotherhood and its various branch offices like Hamas. Islam, like Nazism has a core belief that motivates their actions. Material comfort and security is not among the attributes. But they do understand how we think very well and use that to their advantage in all propaganda and attacks.
The basic human tendency when looking at huge things is to try and reduce it to the simplest formulae within our own frames of reference. This is because learning another frame of reference is difficult and very few can be bothered to do so, especially when the threat appears to be over. At this point we might all agree that these threats are likely never really over so much as dormant. The “Cold War” with communism being the best current example. And understanding the system of thought of threat doctrines is key to preventing its total victory over us. And it it never really too late to do that even though the later the hour the higher the cost of reconquest.
The current examples of course, are leftism and Islam. Both of which have boat loads more in common with each other than with Western thinkers. And while this may seem counter-intuitive based on leftist and Islamic propaganda, but any self-honest observer can see the truth of it.
In the following two videos, TIK History makes the case that Nazism was also a religion, and an old one at that. A Gnostic cult and provides evidence from Hitler’s own speeches and book. And a case can be made, and it has, that we are fighting the Nazis now. More accurately, the Nazis are fighting us now as we aren’t really fighting back yet. But the COMINTERN, UN, EU and WEF have more in common with Nazis than anyone else except maybe Maoists. And one might argue that would also be a distinction without a difference.
UPDATE: New video from TIK History. Correcting the myth that Hitler was funded by capitalists
