The social, political, and economic ‘Centre’ and ‘Right of Centre’ segment of the world’s population is slowly waking up to the reality of a new, unholy, dangerous nexus among the ultra-Left, Liberal, Woke, and the ultra Islamist groups, in furthering a sinister agenda in most developed nations and a few developing countries like India.
Their ideological and political targets are the liberal, secular, and humanitarian-based developed nations in the West and those nations in the developing East, that are striving to emulate the West in their democratic, secular, liberal, human (rather than religion-centric) ideals. The Left-Liberal-Woke-Islamist network does not dare to operate in totalitarian, communist nations like Russia and China and Islamic nations and devoutly Christian nations. Their target is liberal, humanist, progressive “secular” nations.
They are too cowardly to try preaching supposedly “humanitarian” values to religious-extremist, non-secular nations or Islamic countries. This motley group targets those nations and citizens that are liberal enough to naively allow them to access their debate rooms, government offices, courtrooms, educational institutions, and their people’s minds.
In India, there has always been a tacit understanding (aiming to influence the public) among the “communist” Left, the Liberal Left, the urban and rural Naxalite Left, the Pseudo-secular Left, the peculiar Hindu-apologist Left, and the Islamists. In countries like the U.S and the U.K, the well-intentioned albeit unsuspecting public is bombarded with propaganda that tries to bring a loosely put-together concoction of class, gender, race, and religion (mostly Islam) together in the name of an “injustice” to all who fall in any of the four above-mentioned “victim” groups, which make it a sizeable, cohesive group to deal with.
The Right and Centre of Right are justified in worrying about this disturbing trend. Islamists market and promote themselves as victims of injustice in the world although they are the aggressors and perpetrators of inequality and injustice in most parts of the world!! By grabbing and effectively using the false “victimhood” narrative for itself, Islam has ensured that the real victims (non-Muslims, women, children, local cultures, indigenous tribes, etc.) are denied the real victimhood label and denied the assurance of necessary protection from Islam’s aggressive political and expansionist ambitions.
Any which way you look at it, both in the East and the West, the religion that has falsely grabbed and cornered the “victimhood” denominator and stands to gain the most from tying itself to all the “other” real vulnerable/ potential victimhood groups, carefully teaming up with them and cleverly aligning with them on strategic issues (immigration, special rights, free services, additional government aid, propagation and promotion of a particular religion etc.) …. is Islam!
Typically, liberal, democratic, and secular societies are far more tolerant of diverse faiths, life choices, opinions, and new ideas. Naturally, such nations become the target of the extremist, ultra Left-Woke-Islamist movements. They spin an elaborate story of victimhood and oppression so cleverly that by the time they are done weaving together a tapestry of several narratives and interwoven plots, most liberal, broad-minded people are tricked into believing this sinister group’s version of right and wrong without judging the veracity of their claims, fact-checking or listening to any alternative views.
The targets and victims of the Islamist-Left-Liberal-Woke propaganda, often become guilt-tripped for not belonging to either of the four sub-groups of this unholy nexus. The average, educated, broad-minded, humanist citizen in the targeted democratic, secular, liberal nations, stops questioning the highly exaggerated victimhood narratives or downright lies that have been falsely peddled to them. Therein lies the danger of a large, liberal, gullible “educated” population, blindsided by a clever enemy preying on their naivety, their goodwill, their humanity, their willingness to listen and accept different opinions.
After being brain-washed into thinking that all religions and political/ social views are “equal”, the broad-minded, educated, well-meaning populations of many democratic nations, lose their ability to fact-check, their ability to question, their ability to think independently, ultimately disabling them from seeing through the thick fog of misinformation, exaggeration and lies. By the end of a slow but steady brain-washing process highlighted frequently with tales of exaggerated suffering, victimhood, hardship, torture, etc….the average educated, liberal mind develops a sense of misplaced guilt and becomes apologetic for who he/she is, for absolutely no fault of theirs. The average educated, liberal, warm, and welcoming mind is made to feel guilty about having had a normal life and the opportunity to experience success with their own hard work!
The Islamist-Left-Liberal-Woke ideological collaboration/network and its operations, slow-poisoning young minds, has far-reaching consequences for Western secular democracies as well as the liberal, democratic, secular countries in the East – countries like India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines. The most impacted are the democratic, non-dictatorship, non-totalitarian, non-Islamic States.
The Left-Woke-Islamist networks that operate in countries like the U.S. and U.K. influence public opinion in their respective countries, impact independent thinking in educational institutions and government think tanks and ultimately impact
policy-making and their government’s official stand on certain global matters. Hence, the West’s stand (official or not) and unsolicited interference on matters like Kashmir and India’s other security problems, which are solely India’s internal issues to be handled at its own discretion, within its rights as an independent, sovereign nation.
