But to help people understand the context:
"French philosopher
Pascal Bruckner understands Islamo-leftism as "the fusion between the atheist Far Left and religious radicalism".
[7] According to Bruckner, Islamo-leftism was "chiefly" conceived by British
Trotskyites of the
Socialist Workers Party. Because these dedicated leftists perceive Islam's potential for fomenting societal unrest, they promote tactical, temporary alliances with reactionary Muslim parties. According to Bruckner, leftist adherents of
Third-Worldism hope to use
Islamism as a "battering-ram" to bring about the downfall of free-market capitalism and see the sacrifice of individual rights, in particular of women's rights, as an acceptable trade-off in service of the greater goal of destroying capitalism. Bruckner contends that
Islamists, for their part, pretend to join the left in its opposition to racism,
neocolonialism and globalization as a tactical and temporary means to achieve their true goal of imposing the "totalitarian theocracy" of Islamist government.
