The sinister alliance of the Islamist-Marxist axishttp://blogs.timesofisrael.com/a-sinister-alliance-of-the-islamist-marxist-axis/
Whoever alerted on this wrote this was something "Free Republic" would run; that it bashed all leftists and Muslims, etc.
The author of the article couldn't possibly be more respected (Robert Wistrich who is one of the world's foremost and esteemed authorities on anti-semitism). He's not a right-winger, but like most elected democrats, he's a liberal.
A jury voted 5-1 to hide the OP.
What gives?

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:
Shira is posting a blog post that one could easily find on Freerepublic; "The left is evil, Islam is evil, people were killed in France because France is liberal," all written by a fellow who was a major adviser for the blatantly islamophobic film "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West."

I get the feeling many here are confused and therefore equate criticism of Leftists with criticism of all liberals (democrats included).
Same WRT folks equating criticism of extreme Islamists with criticism of all Muslims in general (liberals included too).

I might be confused, but don't the admin or that MIR lot deal with TOS violations?
