Reader comment on item: Debating the Khalil Gibran International Academy
in response to reader comment: Dhabah ( "Debbie") Almontaser

BTW, the similarity of communism and Islam (both "religions" based on hatred) down to the symbols (hammer/scythe and crescent/star) removes the element of surprise from the nexus between communists and Islamists.
The only difference in them is that communism deifies "the system" (with an elite set of generally self-appointed leaders equivalent to "prophets" and "priests") while Islam follows a (false) god.
