Why Moslems and communist would see eye to eye

Why Moslems and communist would see eye to eye.

People wondered why a middle class American would become a hard line jihad Islamic fighter. There was something about what he said that twigged something at the back of my mind. It was not until I was half way to taking my daughter to school that the bubble burst, Communism. The light of realisation was that modern Islam is just another form of communism. Going back to the 40s and 50s with the high of the cold war era, many Americans were persuaded that Communism was the answer to what they saw was the corrupt soft decadence of American life. Communism tried to present itself as having a moral idealism that America did not. The glory of a world united under communism fed into many idealist young impressionable American. The fight for equality of the social classes turned many young American against what they saw as the corrupt inequality between the rich and the poor. Many Communist even saw in Jesus as some early communist, today Moslems try and persuade people that everyone from Adam to King Kong was a Moslem.

Ecc 1: 9-10 The thing that hath been, it [is that] which shall be; and that which is done [is] that which shall be done: and [there is] no new [thing] under the sun. Is there [any] thing whereof it may be said, See, this [is] new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

Islam presents itself as having clear rules or guidelines upon which to be a Moslem. I suspect you could be an atheist and still follow these same guidelines. Communist presented their follows very similar A-Z principles upon which to live. Islam tries to regulate on how to eat, live, speak, clothe, and interact and what to do with their time. Whilst Communism did presented an idiology that was devoid of God , Islam on the other hand presents an idology with a god. I appreciate there are differences as well, But the similarities are quite remarkable.

Is it by any chance that Russia and China have such close connections with many Moslem countries? Could it be that their ideology is closer than many would like to believe?

Like Max and Mao they have their little book but this time it is called the Koran. Communist worshiped the writings of Mao and others so Islam worships the Koran. Burn the Koran and Moslems will go on the rampage. Burn a Bible and Christians will not bat a eyelid, because we don’t worship the Bible. Try discussing Mao, Lenin or Marx with a communist and you will quickly realise that they have exchanged God for human leadership. They elevated them onto pedestals and bowed before their precepts. Today Islam lifts Muhammad onto that same pedestal. Idol worship is a strange creature and man will worship many things without realising an idol for what it is. Stand on its toes and you will quickly realise how much of an idol it is.

Communist persecuted Christians because Christianity was the one power they could not stop. It was constantly the one antidote to man real need. Islam is just the same, it must persecute and subdue what refuses to be shaped into its image. Christianity across the globe is predominantly being persecuted by both these ideologies. The only reason Islam is making any head way is because modern western Christianity has no power. Even the argument that some Muslims use that America is out to get them and they are only defending themselves, was the same arguments that Communist used during the cold war period.

They have their brotherhood united against the great satan America. The spirits that promoted communist have simply changed the name to Islam. Just like Communism the lie that they will take over the world is once again pushed. However communist were at least semi united in their goals, Islam is not. If Islam ever took over the world tomorrow the day after it would start to cut each others throats. Communism almost lasted fifty years, modern Islam has barely lasted half that time. The uprising in the Middle East is not against western democracy but against Moslem governments. It will not matter who gets in because the same corruption that motivated the first overturned tyrants will simple become the newest tyrants. Shiites and Sunnis are bitter enemies and so a world united under Islam will never unite. Communism tried to promote itself as having the moral superiority with clear guidelines on how to do it, but its rejection of the one true God meant that its death knell was already sounding, and Islam will fare no better. The more the radical message of islam is seen the more islam itself will be exposed. Sadly I fear that many moderate Moslems will be caught up a battle they never intended to fight.

The Western democracies are not perfect and they may have many faults, Moslems may even have valid issue with what they see as the immoralities which are openly flouted in the west. But true democracy works because they were established on biblical principles. Take the bible out and it is unlikely they would have been a democracy anywhere. Communism shouted their morality from the housetops, but in reality they were quite immoral. They boasted of equality but their leaders came to suppress of their own people, whilst they came to live in a decadence that even the west could only dream about. Much of the present sex trade starts from those nations which were once ruled by communism and moves its way down to the east. Where women are bought and sold like cattle. Moslems may shout their morality but evidence shows otherwise. They say that the slave trade is just as real in Moslems countries as it is in the west. Anything from cheap labour to the sex trade, and sadly slavery is alive and well in the 21 century.

In the end man will be forced to bow the knee to Jesus not a communist Jesus or even a Moslem Jesus. We will either bow our knees to Jesus as the shepherd of our souls now or men will bow their knees to King Jesus as ruler and righteous judge. But we are all destined to confess him LORD and be judged by him. Today we can confess him as saviour, but ignore him your saviour and he will one day become your judge.
