Continued from Part 1
The Islamist-Left-Liberal-Woke ideological collaboration deep at work in the developed, democratic, liberal, secular nations of the West and secular nations of the East like India, operates under the disguise of perceived victimhood, religious rights, human rights, equality, labour rights, feminism Etc.
Islamists joining the bandwagon of Left-Liberal causes, ensure the Muslim world’s clever strategy of equating Islam to the victimhood narrative and unfairly takes away the world’s attention from the real victims of deprivation, discrimination, suffering, and neglect.
This dangerous network has taken away the credibility of local, grass-roots organisations that sincerely try to address genuine issues without an ulterior motive or a religious/political agenda. Beware!
For a few years now, independent thinkers and think tanks in the U.S. and U.K. have been warning of the effects of the Islamist-Left-Woke-Liberal collaboration on the psyche of the average American citizen and public institutions run under government patronage. What they warned about most in recent times, is a heavy infusion of a fabricated, falsely implicated Islamic victimhood narrative cleverly played into the other “humanitarian” issues frequently raised by the ultra-Left – gender equality, racial issues, labour rights, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, environmental issues, etc.
In the distant past, the Leftist lobby had championed such common issues that appealed to most Western and Eastern people living in democracies. What is worrisome now, is the influence of the disguised, subtle but firm, and strong undertones of an Islamist agenda in the Left’s causes of interest. For example, in the U.S., U.K., Canada. Islamic organisations claiming injustice and victimhood disguise themselves as alternative human-rights organisations and join the same causes as the Left-Liberal-Feminist-Woke lobby.
Over a period of time, strong Muslim voices slowly take over the Left-Woke leadership roles in the Leftist organisations, and before the general public realises, the reputable organisations they had trusted in the past, are infiltrated by several Muslims in important positions peddling a Muslim victimhood/Muslim rights agenda along with the common themes of generic human rights, racial justice, equality, environmental rights, employment rights, etc.
In the process of growing membership and positions of leadership within the world’s Leftist organisations, the Muslims are helped by generous financial contributions by Muslim organisations in the host country funded by Islamic nations like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan.
So, how does this ultimately come back to haunt a nation like India? Islamists in foreign nations hiding in the rank and file of Leftist, socialist, secularists “democratic” organisations, begin to unnecessarily bring focus on issues like Kashmir, the CAA, and Minority rights in India when in reality, such issues have nothing to do with the common man’s problems in the U.S., U.K., or Canada!!
Equating the racial rights of the Black people in America’s shameful history of slavery with India’s caste, class, and religious rights in modern-day India, is a clever, convoluted argument of trying to equate racial rights in the ex-Slave colonies like the U.S. to religious and class rights in modern-day, post-independent India. It is NOT an equal comparison yet the Left-Liberal-Woke-Islamist network has successfully spun a bizarre story linking the two, non-similar, non-convergent stories set in two very different parts of the globe.
The current mental makeup and ideology of the Democratic Party in the U.S. is similar to that of India’s Congress Party. India has always been offered better deals in an open transactional environment when the Republican Party has been in power. Democratic leaders like Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden pay mere lip service to the ideals of democracy, they are good with their sweet-talking, friendly smiles, diplomatic gestures, and speeches but continue with their soft diplomacy, financial and military support to fascist and/or military ruled non-democratic nations and terror-sponsoring nations like Pakistan. It is the U.S.’s Republican leaders like Ronald Reagan, George Bush, and Donald Trump that talk openly and frankly, drive hard bargains and strike tough yet fair deals and enable big business and military partnerships for India!
Similarly, in the U.K., the Labour Party’s agenda is ultra Leftist, pro-Islamist, and anti-India. The conservative Tory party is tougher on the Islamist narrative and while the Tories may not outrightly support India’s needs, they’re better at getting mutually beneficial business deals signed and handling sensitive matters with more care.
Left-leaning parties in most parts of the world have been taken over by a deadly, rabid mix of human rights with Islamic rights by supporting the false Muslim victimhood narrative which is ridiculous and an open lie, considering the aggression of Islam towards all other religions and the undeniable continuance of major human-rights, religious rights, women’s rights, children’s rights and labour rights abuse in Islamic countries. It is logical (in most cases, proven) to assume that Left-leaning governments and Leftist organisations enjoy ample financial support from Islamist groups and States and hence take a soft approach to the dangers of Islamic expansionist views. Such nations and organisations are likely to support an anti-India agenda.
Muslim appeasement (to a lesser degree, Christian appeasement) and extension of special privileges to one community against the principles of equal treatment for all, enshrined in the Constitution of democratic, practicing secular countries like the U.S, India, U.K, Canada, and others, has become a major worry for the Centre and Right-Of-Centre.
