John Guandolo's article discusses the political left's support for groups he perceives as oppressing minority rights, specifically focusing on the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood. He argues that progressives inadvertently align themselves with enemies of these minority groups by engaging with Islamist organizations. Guandolo posits that the Islamic jihadi movement is not irrational, but rather strategically pursuing a global Islamic state through sharia doctrine.

Oppressors

3. Islamist Oppressors
• John Guandolo notes that progressives claim to
support the rights of minority groups and those
oppressed by society for reasons of gender, religion,
and sexual orientation. He advises that in engaging
with groups such as the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood,
these leftist entities are “working with our enemies.”
In particular, they are assisting an organization
dedicated to oppressing many of the minority
groups whose rights they vocally support. Mr.
Guandolo goes on to note that the Islamic Jihadi
Movement is patently not “insane.” They are simply
using the Sharia doctrine to create an Islamic global
state, through whatever means possible.
