Again, from Melanie Phillips’s The World Turned Upside Down:

We noted earlier how Islamism, as a form of revolutionary utopianism, marches alongside the left. But as a revolt against liberalism and modernity, it is closely allied with both communism and fascism. That is because, just like these two secular Western movements which also led to fanaticism, terror and mass murder, Islamism repudiates modernity and reason in the interests of creating a perfect world.
…
As Laurent Murawiec noted, there was also an eerie similarity between the Marxist-Leninist and Islamic outlooks in their Orwellian inversion of aggression and self-defense. For communism, aggression was specific to class society while the Soviet Union was by definition peaceful. Likewise, Islamic thinkers held that Islam represented peace on earth and so anything un-Islamic must trouble the peace by its very existence. As a corollary, since neither the Soviet Union nor the Islamic world could be guilty of aggression, any terror committed by either was by definition self-defense, while self-defense by the outside world was aggression. (Emphasis mine) —”The Red-Black-Green-Islamic Axis”

That’s right, fellow kuffir, your very un-Islamic existence is an act of aggression against Islam.

This curious inversion is well illustrated by the recent “Zombie Mohammad” case, wherein the atheist who wore a Zombie Mohammed costume was the provocateur and the man who assaulted him was merely acting in self-defense.

Furthermore, many wife-beaters see themselves not as aggressors but as acting in self-defense against their wives’ unbearable provocations.

Also see the performative today, wherein progressives, who by definition are tolerant and compassionate, are obligated to defend The Coming Paradise against aggression from Dar al-Harb their filthy opponents.
