Islam and the Left - both death worshippers?

Submitted by Garry Mallett (New Zealand), Mar 24, 2003 at 04:44

Mr Abdullah Al Osama in his commentary titled "Islam , Left or Right.....or left right, left right, left right" unveils the death worship of some Islamists.

Those protesting in the streets of New York against the war should listen very carefully to his chilling words:

"I don't think that there is anything wrong with Death. It is the final destination, and it will overcome all of us. And through death, we the Muslims will see the light, because the closer we are to death and destruction, the more we become Muslim..."

His words expose the enormous gulf between the post-renaissance rational West and much of the (so-called) third world which is rotting in mysticism.

His words also expose the evasion and corruption of those on the left who, in tacitly supporting this evil philosophy, undermine the very society that gives them protection.
