The link Rocket Man perceives

The link Rocket Man perceives between the Islamofascists and the left was also drawn by Francis Fukuyama in the September issue of Commentary. I summarized Fukuyama’s discussion in a blog on September 1. (I couldn’t link to the article and still can’t). Fukuyama traces Al Qaeda back to the Muslim Brotherhood whose roots, in turn, can be found in European fascism and its cousin European communism. He also contends that both Islamism (to use Fukuyama’s term) and the European totalitarian ideologies stem from the same sort of social transformation caused by villagers moving en masse to large cities.
