With the rapid changes that have occurred in the West over recent decades, many people have been forced to make quick strategic decisions. In some cases, grievous errors have been made. In other cases, great amounts of complete and utter bullshit have been spoken. This article looks at one egregious example.
On 11 January this year, Radio New Zealand ran a smear attack against Right Minds columnist Dieuwe de Boer, calling him a “far-right activist”. This was part of a report detailing how de Boer had been raided by Police in connection with a recently-prohibited firearm part (none was found). This hit piece led to a couple of complaints to the New Zealand Media Council.
Beholden to the same globalist corporate interests as the rest of the New Zealand media, the New Zealand Media Council ruled in favour of Radio New Zealand. In a decision that the Marxists at the Human Rights Commission must have applauded, they declared that it was not unreasonable to use the term ‘far-right’ to describe de Boer on account of that he was “openly critical of Islam”.
As usual when it comes to Governmental proclamations, the truth is closer to the opposite of what they say it is. In this instance, the truth is that open criticism of Islam is left-wing, not right-wing.
Islam is practically no different, in either ideology or action, to the far-right-wing Christian conservatives that the left has always opposed. Just like Christian conservatives, the vast majority of Muslims oppose homosexuality, oppose women’s liberation, hate non-believers and oppose the use of spiritual sacraments.
There are 12 countries in the world that currently punish homosexuality with death: Afghanistan, Brunei, Iran, Mauritania, Nigeria, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen. All of them are Muslim-majority countries.
The vast majority of Muslims support punitive measures against homosexuals. Koranic passages such as 26:165 and 29:28 describe homosexuals as evil, and declare that they should be destroyed. Hadiths such as Sunan Abu Dawud 38:4447 are no less horrifying. This one cites Muhammad himself as saying: “If you find anyone doing as Lot’s people did, kill the one who does it, and the one to whom it is done.”
These attitudes and beliefs are firmly right-wing conservative. The religious sentiments that inspire Muslims to persecute homosexuals are almost identical to the religious sentiments that inspired Christians to persecute homosexuals in decades gone by.
Hatred for homosexuals is not the only thing shared by Muslims and conservative Christians. Both have taken measures to oppress and enslave women. Both have taken measures to persecute non-believers. Both have extremely relaxed attitudes to child abuse. Both have imprisoned users of spiritual sacraments.
In all of these instances, Muslims and Christians have been opposed by the left. It was primarily the left that fought to change the laws that were persecuting homosexuals. It was primarily the left that fought to criminalise child abuse. It’s primarily the left fighting now to end the persecution of cannabis and psilocybin users.
Therefore, opposing the attitudes and beliefs held by Muslims is left-wing.
It’s left-wing to oppose Islam because Islam itself is far-right. In fact, Islam is so compatible with the far-right that there was even a Muslim division of the Waffen-SS. The 13th “Handschar” Division was made up of German officers and volunteer troops, mostly Muslim, mostly recruited in Bosnia with assistance from the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.
Nazism and Islam are highly compatible on account of that they are both hate-fueled supremacist ideologies that share a common enemy in the Jew. If Nazis are the kind of far-right extremists who we should all be scared of, and if Muslims fight side-by-side with Nazis out of shared ideological sentiments, then Islam itself is far-right. This is basic logic.
De Boer opposes Islam, not because Islam is left-wing, but because the Christian vs. Islam conflict is part of the interminable internecine warfare that Abrahamism has inflicted upon the world. Everywhere there is Abrahamism, there is war, whether war against non-believers or war against heretics. Christianity and Islam have been at war for almost 1,400 years, and de Boer is merely playing his part in that.
One point needs to be emphasised, however: just because there is an internal conflict within Abrahamism, one that sees Christians and Muslims fighting with each other, doesn’t mean that anyone criticising one particular faction of Abrahamism becomes “right-wing”. Christianity is itself divided into Catholic and Protestant factions, but no serious person would claim that a Protestant who opposes Catholicism on account of Catholicism’s barbaric attitudes towards spiritual sacraments is ‘far-right’.
The left would like to claim Muslim voters for their own on account of that Muslims tend to be non-white and outside the Establishment power structure. But neither of those things is close to sufficient. Homosexuals, women and users of spiritual sacraments are already outside the power structure – therefore anyone who hates these people is in service of the right wing.
It is left wing to stand against doctrines that call for the subjugation and oppression of homosexuals, women, outsiders and users of spiritual sacraments. This is especially true when the subjugators claim to be acting in the name of the God, and it goes double when they specifically claim that it is their destiny to rule over the rest of the planet.
Therefore it is left wing to stand against Islam.

So a lot of this is BS. I don’t know ANY Christians that believe you should persecute anyone. Homosexuality is condemned by Almighty God. Deal with it. Real Christians don’t judge. But that doesn’t mean we will support what they believe. Nazism isn’t right wing. Never was. They were/are National SOCIALIST. The nationalism is the only “right wing” component. Socialism by its very definition is a left wing ideology. This is another attempt at gaslighting by the author.
There are left wing Muslims pushing for women’s rights and homosexual rights in Muslim countries. Hating islam doesn’t make you left wing. You can be left wing and an ally of left wing muslims and muslim women.
In Iran the protests are lead by muslim clerics. In Turkey the urban middle class is more liberal. There are significant movements within muslim countries against islamofascism.
“Muslims oppose homosexuality, oppose women’s liberation, hate non-believers and oppose the use of spiritual sacraments.”
The position of Islam is that one should strive to live within what might be described as “the natural order” or “the scheme of things”. Since the biological purpose of sex is procreation, one cannot escape the conclusion that homosexuality falls outside this natural order. But it is also axiomatic in Islam that one should not pry into the private affairs of others. So provided a homosexual couple do not publicly parade their homosexuality, they should not (in theory) have any problems in Muslim society. But the reality is, of course, that they often do have problems, for a variety of reasons, not all of which are either legal or theological.
On the status of women, Islam is clear: A woman is the equal of a man, but has a different role in the family. Outside the family, there should not, in principle, be any impediment to her gaining an education, running a business, and possessing property. The Prophet’s first wife was a businesswoman, and he was, initially, her employee. In modern times, Muslim women have held the highest offices of state.
The claim that Muslims “hate non-believers” – i.e. that a hatred of non-believers is intrinsic to Islam – is incorrect. Ideally, the Muslim should regard the non-believer as a potential believer, and should treat him with kindness and respect – unless, of course, the non-believer is hostile to Islam, and makes that hostility manifest. One should also remember that there are some Muslims – the “takfiris” – who hate Muslims from other sects as much as, or even more than, they hate non-believers. Islam is not, and has never been, a monolith.
I’m not sure what you mean by “spiritual sacraments”. Are you referring to the seven sacraments of the Catholic Church? If you are, I would only point out that, in Islam, the seventh sacrament of Christianity (i.e. marriage), is the highest calling. That is why Islam has no monasticism and no celibate priesthood.
“…in theory…in principle…ideally…”
Communism, Nazism, Satanism and Judaism are beautiful in theory too. In reality, you have to speak about the practical manifestations of a system. Otherwise you’re just saying “True Islam has never been tried.”
The Koran makes Muslim hatred of non-believers manifest. It’s the single most hostile and hate-fueled book in existence. It’s even worse than Mein Kampf.
QUOTE: “Hatred for homosexuals is not the only thing shared by Muslims and conservative Christians.”
Christians do oppose the act of sodomy as they are taught that it is a sin. Hatred of homosexuals, (or anybody), is forbidden by the same teaching. I would suggest that anyone who claims to be a Christian and proclaims to hate homosexuals would be a in a very small minority.
To make the above quote accurate, ‘conservative Christians’ should be replaced with ‘a small minority of extreme right self proclaimed Christians’.
Bro, can you please define what you man by “spiritual sacraments” in this article? It’s quite confusing; a muslim above said the same thing above so it’s not just me.
Cannabis, psilocybin mushrooms, dimethyltryptamine, among others.
