The anniversary of 9/11 was particularly sad on Friday because currently we are not united against the maniacs who employ terrorism against our country. The party aligned with them may even prevail in the November elections. Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who escaped Islam at great risk to her life and is now an American citizen, lists a few of the parallels between al Qaeda and Black Lives Matter/Antifa:

The adherents of each constantly pursue ideological purity, certain of their own rectitude. Neither Islamists nor the Woke will engage in debate; both prefer indoctrination of the submissive and damnation of those who resist.

That damnation can take the form of beheading in countries controlled by Islamists, whereas it manifests itself in “cancelation” in our own country, which is thankfully still a soft tyranny for now, but the intent and effect are the same.

Differences between Islamic and leftist radicals are often cosmetic:

Islamists shout “Allahu Akbar” and “Death to America”; the Woke chant “Black lives matter” and “I can’t breathe.” Islamists pray to Mecca; the Woke take the knee.

Imagine if, in September of 2001, instead of standing respectfully for the national anthem, grotesquely overpaid athletes had knelt toward Mecca and touched their foreheads to the grass to signify obeisance to terrorists. That is the equivalent of the pregame theatrics we are currently subjected to as our country is again under siege.

Islam forbids “blasphemy”; leftists, “hate speech.” Only the context is different, not the meaning. The same goes for the terms “Islamophobia” and “racism.”

Islamic and woke radicals are both fond of destroying statues, and of theatrically burning the American flag.

Both ideologies aim to tear down the existing system and replace it with utopias that always turn out to be hellish anarchies: Islamic State in Raqqa, the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone in Seattle. Both are collectivist: Group identity trumps the individual. Both tolerate—and often glorify—violence carried out by zealots.

The most important similarity is that their hatred of America cannot be appeased. Despite what some choose to believe, they are not angry because they are poor or oppressed.

Their motivations are ideological and they will be satisfied only with power.

That means either they win or we do. If they win, America won’t just continue to change. It will be over.

A foreign enemy might be safely ignored for a time. This is not true of domestic enemies like Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and their many allies.

On a tip from Varla.
