The Woke are Islam’s foot soldiers
Up until the time that we were introduced to the term “Woke,” an insidious ideology, mostly embraced by the young, Islam had little chance to spread throughout the Western world, because few were willing to do its bidding.
Woke ideology provided a treasure trove of influence through identity politics. Setting out to marginalize the most powerful in society, it sought to replace capable people through DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) hand-picked individuals who, otherwise, would not have ascended to strategic roles for lack of being adequately qualified.
Shame and blame were a big part of Woke philosophy, as the movement succeeded in convincing white people that they were guilty of a predisposition to prejudice. The only way to atone for that sin was to defer to those they had supposedly disenfranchised.
Topping that list, by their estimation, are the so-called Palestinians, whose cause they took up, while conveniently attributing their ills to “colonialist” Israel. Of course, anyone who views the Jewish state from that perch, simply knows nothing about the bleak history of the Jewish people who corporately embody the ultimate persecuted poster children.
Observing this phenomenon, Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of Hamas, opined that “the two ideologies of socialism and Islamism represent catastrophic failures wherever they’ve been implemented. Likewise, the exploitation of identity politics is a key warning sign.”
It is why using the Muslim “victim card” worked so well for Zohran Mamdami who won the top office in the City of New York. How could he, otherwise, have risen to those ranks, given he’s unsuited for the job?
Cast in the part of the underdog, Mamdani actually thought he could get away with the vicimt role reversal of his aunt, (actually a cousin) who felt too frightened to take the subway, due to the traditional Muslim hijab that she wore.
Imagine thinking that you can evoke sympathy for having the misfortune of belonging to the side of the perpetrators of terror. Americans are just supposed to forget the more than 3,000 who will never be able to ride anywhere, because they no longer exist.
But sadly, the Woke have conveniently forgotten, probably because many of them were not even born until after 9/11. Their world didn’t stress patriotism, honoring one’s country or the virtues of heroism, unlike that of prior generations.
Instead, they were taught to believe that America is an evil country with a wicked history of prejudice and oppression. The years of redemption and advancing beyond the wrongs of the past were overlooked, because grievance is always dependent upon preserving old offenses.
So, the Woke found new heroes, in the form of like-minded victims, who have remained in a perpetual state of suffering. Sounds like Gazans! It doesn’t matter that they spent years making bad choices, electing terrorists who did nothing to improve their lives or lift them out of the despair that served their leaders who cynically used them to point to Israel as the problem.
How fortunate for terrorists that the Woke naturally gravitated to their fabricated version of history, buying the lie of a Palestinian people, a pseudonym initiated, in modern-day times, by Yasser Arafat who appropriated the Roman-invented term. Also lucky for Hamas that the Woke doesn’t feel compelled to research the veracity of their claims. These days, it’s much easier to blindly accept whatever your peers post on social media.
And that is how the anti-Israel movement spread at lightning speed, following the worst attack against Jews since the dark days of the Holocaust. It’s as if the purveyors of radical Islam waited for this moment, knowing it would eventually come.
Working in their favor, there is a mutual benefit one to the other. The Woke are provided with a cause, able to proudly advocate for their chosen down and outers, while the terrorists get the needed makeover of “freedom fighters” whose struggle is legitimized under the cover of having endured injustice. It’s the perfect match made in hell.
What remains unknown to the Woke is that their hard work, on behalf of the terrorist class is only hastening their own end, because no one will escape the long arm of radical Islam which seeks to dominate every human soul.
So they are, for now, being used tactically to achieve the goals of destroying every society which doesn’t bow down to Allah.
It is that “dismantling of Western liberal democracy” which is being facilitated, as Yousef states, by the Red-Green Alliance – the collaboration between socialist/communist forces and Islamist networks.” He says that, in this case, socialism is nothing more than a rebranding of communism which has never succeeded anywhere it’s been tried.
Ironically, Islam is at complete odds with many within the Woke movement. One such group is the gay community. In fact, a Brooklyn imam, by the name of Siraj Wahhaj, who campaigned on behalf of Mamdani refers to homosexuality as a “disease.” Nonetheless, some gays voted for Mamdani, despite his defense and praise for the imam, calling him a great Muslim leader.
Another obvious group, despised by Islam, are Jews who, regardless of whether they stand with Israel, are still, undeniably, part of the same tribe, hated by Hamas and many other Muslims. Knowing that, it seems incomprehensible that any of them would turn against the homeland, condemned by Mamdani, for acts of genocide.
Let’s not forget yet another group, composed of all the young women who supported Mamdani and thrilled to death that their candidate won. According to one report, “women are 52% of the NYC population, but they accounted for 55% of the voters; 50% voted for Mamdani.”
How many of those women would be happy to don a hijab or niqab, only revealing the slits of their eyes? Would they be on board with a second-class status? They, too, are looked down upon in Islam, but continue to lend their support.
All of these relevant facts are lost on Woke supporters who will, in the not-too-distant future, wish that they would have done their homework. By then, it will be too late.
As all foot soldiers, they carry out the work but lack all authority as low-level followers. Regrettably, Woke philosophy has blinded them to the reality that they are only worthwhile until their usefulness dissipates. As things stand, it won’t take long before that happens.
