Consummated in Cairo

"Consummated in Cairo," a new article by Jihad Watch director Robert Spencer about December's Cairo Conference sponsored by The International Campaign Against U.S. & Zionist Occupations, is available today at FrontPage magazine.com. It explores the strange new alliance cemented there between the radical Left and radical Islam. Che meets Osama, and they hit it off wonderfully.

"George Galloway, the maverick British parliamentarian who was expelled from the Labour Party after his outspoken opposition to the war in Iraq led to charges that he incited Iraqis to fight against British troops, was there. Tony Benn, another former Labour MP and prominent defender of Socialism, also made the trip. So did Ramsey Clark, former U.S. Attorney General (for Lyndon Johnson) and a high-profile advocate for the impeachment of George W. Bush, the freeing of Leonard Peltier, and a host of other fashionable Leftist causes. At the 2003 Cairo Conference held in mid-December by The International Campaign Against U.S. & Zionist Occupations, these high-profile antiwar advocates had a chance to rub elbows with their newest ideological bedfellows: radical Muslims who openly advocate the restoration of the caliphate, the politico-religious ruler of a unified Muslim world, and the establishment of an Islamic world order under the rule of Islamic law, the Sharia."
