Islamism holds ever more sway in the parties of the European left

For some years now it has been evident that totalitarian Islamist forces play an ever larger role in the parties and movements of the left in the West. Muslim candidates are multiplying on the left and, thanks to the left, radical Islamists are winning power, as in the New York mayoralty or in the local governments of dozens of British cities. Muslims are 7% of the population of the United Kingdom, but Muslim mayors govern more than 60% of the British population. And so, every day, they further transform daily life and, above all, cultural policy and police conduct to the benefit of Muslim interests. Islamic penetration of the administration and of local power is constant and immensely effective

In Germany, it is now the turn of the capital, which has been degrading for decades, also thanks to the woke drift of part of the CDU. After two decades of governments led by the Socialists with the Greens and the Communists, a brief CDU government changed almost nothing, and now the Communists stand as the leading force for the first time, thanks to the Muslim vote. Everyone knew that the Muslim vote in the neighborhoods with the most immigration is controlled by Islamist groups that follow the instructions of the Muslim Brotherhood and of the organized crime clans.

But few knew the extent to which radical Islamist groups have control and power within the parties of the German left, and especially within Die Linke, the Communists, heirs of East Germany’s Socialist Unity Party (SED). The mistaken sending of some confidential notes along with the answers to an interview that the Communist leader of Berlin and the city’s next head of government, Elif Eralp, gave to the magazine Der Spiegel has revealed that this Communist politician of Turkish origin lives terrified and under pressure and coercion from agents of Hamas, the Palestinian terrorist organization, and its partners, the Muslim criminal clans of the Arab world, especially Syrian and Lebanese ones.

Die Linke’s election victory party in Berlin, with Elif Eralp as the great winner, turned into a parade of figures linked to Palestinian terrorism and to the Arab organized crime clans omnipresent in the Berlin underworld. The notes mistakenly added to the corrected interview answers revealed the fear that the Communist Eralp, from a Muslim family, has of the party’s Islamic milieu, and made clear that she considers both herself and her family threatened by it. As she stresses, her husband also shares that fear.

Things being as they are, the Social Democrats and the Greens, who call themselves virulent opponents of antisemitism, are going to ally in Berlin with a Communist who lives under the coercion and influence of Islamist and Palestinian terrorism, which has a broad majority of supporters in Berlin’s Muslim community. Through money from the mosques, from the underworld clans and also from abroad, the pro-Hamas movement has achieved great strength and activism in Berlin and other German cities against the State of Israel and also against the increasingly threatened Jewish community.

The three forces of the left in Germany, as is happening in France with Mélenchon and in the United Kingdom with the Labour governments, have intensified their aggressive militancy against Israel, against the Jews and against Western society itself as Muslim candidates and groups have gained relevance, power and presence. The threat that parts of Europe will be governed by a left in the service of Islamism has already come to pass in many corners of the Old Continent. Berlin is next, and certainly very symbolic.
