Why do anti-white supremacists support Islamic supremacy?

Here’s a perplexing riddle. The same Woke young people who come to protest and advocate for the rights of the so-called Palestinians do so, because they reject most Western values which they often define as promoting a white supremacist agenda. As those who champion victims, they tend to view others as the oppressor class, whose strength and dominance must be challenged and ultimately neutralized in favor of a more equitable social system.
But let’s examine this claim. White supremacy is defined as “the belief that white people constitute a superior race and should therefore dominate society, typically to the exclusion or detriment of other racial and ethnic groups.”
By its definition, if America were truly a white supremacist nation, it would be reflected in all minorities being poor, uneducated, disenfranchised on every societal level and completely marginalized in their ability to access the same rights and privileges available to white people. But given the success and upward mobility of most every racial and ethnic group within the U.S., this is not the case.
Nonetheless, these claims of inequality are echoed on America’s campuses and amongst the progressive and far-left political constituency, who use that argument to justify the need to scrap the entire Western paradigm and build their own version of Utopia. The irony is that such a new world order would actually unfairly tip the scales, with whites being the disenfranchised and marginalized individuals in a society that would only favor minorities.
In that sense, there would still be a supremacy and dominance – albeit with a different face. Perhaps that explains the bizarre affinity felt between the Woke and Islamists, who have joined forces in their war against the West, Israel and the Jews – all perceived as the dominant and more powerful elements of society. Each cynically uses the other to prop up their agenda.
But what these Woke apparently are missing, in all of this, is the end goal of radical Islam. According to Islam enthusiast, Khalid Osman, “Islamism refers to Muslim supremacy. Islamists are essentially Muslim supremacists who want to see Muslims dominating over non-Muslims in any land. They’re like white supremacists and will often turn violent in the name of their identity.
The desire to establish a caliphate (Muslim rule), is chief among the objectives of today’s extreme element of those wholly dedicated to Islam. For them, the idea of being part of a melting pot society, which openly accepts the cultural, religious and other differences each group brings to the country in which they are citizens, is not a consideration.
Instead, the goal is to become the dominant sole voice, expression and way of life, expected to be willingly adopted by all. For those who refuse, we have only to look back at history to see how such individuals were treated. Jews and Christians, who lived under Islam, were granted Dhimmi status, a second-class existence, filled with prohibitions and restrictions.
Dhimmis were forced to pay a special tax called the “jizya” in order to be protected. They were required to show public deference to Muslims and not afforded the same judicial rights as Muslims.
It’s important to note that this dhimmi status was only available to Christians and Jews but not pagans, who were “required to either accept Islam or die.”
One of the things which is glaringly obvious about today’s Woke young people is just how uninformed and uneducated they are, displayed in their complete ignorance of historical facts and willingness to accept biased, one-sided reporting with a specific agenda. Their refusal to take part in any debate or discussion, with an open mind, attests to their immediate rejection of another point of view since they are already wedded to one.
The problem with this immovable and inflexible position, is that, in the end, it is not able to co-exist with a religion that has no status for pagans, other than forced conversion or death. Let’s face it, Woke philosophy already qualifies as a religion, based on DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion). Their deity is themselves – fulfilling the role of judge and jury as they create their societal constructs to conform with the new norms they consider worthy and just.
But that still relegates them to pagan status in the eyes of Islamists, whose goal is to acquire total world dominance. So, where would that lead them? Ultimately, if taken to its final mission, the Woke, who will be perceived as pagans by extreme Muslims, will have actually facilitated their own demise by championing the cause of Islam while simultaneously trying to tear down Western values. Ironically, it is this type of naive ignorance, coupled with the real dangers of a fanatical religion, which will lead to their undoing.
Conversely, it is the Western values, despised by the Woke and progressives, that guarantee justice and liberty for all as well as the tolerance and full acceptance of each ethnicity, religion and political viewpoint. It is also responsible for preserving the rights, privileges and equal status of all members of society, including minorities. In other words, Western values, which are being persecuted and prosecuted as inequitable, have the greatest safeguards for every diverse group which presently exist.
So, while that way of life is being challenged and opposed, no one has found anything better when it comes to the “live and let live mentality” which respects and honors the differences among all members of society.
Any movement, whether political, religious or otherwise, that aspires to force others to comply with their theology or mindset is one which will forbid freedom, debate and the ability to think independently. This is bad news for the Woke who will eventually find themselves at odds with radical Islam, albeit too late.
But when that happens, they will only have themselves to blame for having seen them as the victim rather than the ultimate oppressor which they will become once they are able to attain the power to pull off their goals.
Woke philosophy will be swiftly overtaken, causing all of its adherents to either abandon it or become Islam’s new converts. So let the Woke be forewarned. Their loud protests, passionate support and acts of violence will one day come back to haunt them as they do all they can to empower the people who will, one day, surely come for them!
