Silvio, excellent and very perceptive and intelligent post. However, the Marxists and Islamists are in reality strange bedfellows, their alliance is only for convenience as far as the Islamists go. The enemy of my enemy is my friend sort of thing.

The Marxists are atheists which is anathema to the Islamists who are deists (who they deify is a moot point). So although they maybe allies now against a common enemy (non-Moslem believers) the Marxists are also within the gun sights of the Islamists although their name maybe way down the list for now. Remember, in the twisted and demented mind of the Islamists nobody is a friend unless you are blood thirsty Moslem.
