What to expect
The most dangerous political alliance of the twenty-first century is not one of nations, but one of ideologies—Marxism and Islamism. In When Marx Meets Islam, sociologist Craig Considine delivers an urgent and unsparing critique that exposes this toxic new convergence, which is fueled by shared antipathy toward Enlightenment values and animosity toward the United States, Israel, and other democratic countries. He lays out the motivations and intellectual scaffolding of the Leftist-Islamist alliance and meticulously dissects its operational tactics across a variety of fronts, from college campuses to international organizations. Drawing on his own experience as a well-known advocate for civic values and interfaith dialogue, he has witnessed firsthand the rising tide of these mutually reinforcing revolutionary forces and even been the subject of their public attacks and silencing campaigns. This landmark book provides an accessible yet in-depth understanding of this growing challenge and offers a guide for protecting the West against the most significant ideological threat of our time.
Critics Review
-
“Craig Considine names the threat with precision. Marxists and Islamists have joined forces to wage a soft war on the West, and the U.S.-Israel alliance is their prime target. He maps the network from campus agitators to professors, front organizations, politicians, and foreign patrons. He separates Muslims from Islamists and liberals from Leftists. Then he delivers a strategy to win. This is applied scholarship at its best."
Gregg Roman, executive director, Middle East Forum
-
“When Marx Meets Islam is a superb primer explaining these phenomena which unsurprisingly begin in the academy. Weaving in personal experiences as a professor at Rice University, Craig Considine expertly describes the coalition of Leftists and Islamists who have found common cause and a fertile breeding ground on college campuses for fellow travelers to join their movement to dismantle our constitutional republic, cultural institutions, freedoms, and Judeo-Christian values. Insightfully illustrating how the Orwellian perversion of language is used in order to promote ideologies…anathema to the survival of Western civilization…When Marx Meets Islam is a must-read to understand the battle and stop this coalition from using academia to brainwash and broaden their forces."
Lauri B. Regan, vice president and treasurer, Scholars for Peace in the Middle East
