It's a book that will make so-called "progressives" see red.

In "United in Hate: The Left's Romance With Tyranny and Terror,"
author Jamie Glazov says there's an unholy alliance between jihadists
and people like Michael Moore, Sean Penn, Ted Turner and Noam Chomsky,
and, at the heart of the mutual admiration is a willingness to accept
massive numbers of deaths to achieve their objectives.

What's bound to be most infuriating to those Americans and many other
westerners mentioned in the book is the way Glazov uses their own
words to make the point.

"Not only do I think it's possible [a Muslim-leftist alliance] but I
think it is vitally necessary and I think it is happening already,"
explains leftist British lawmaker George Galloway. "It is possible
because the progressive movement around the world and the Muslims have
the same enemies. Their enemies are the Zionist occupation, American
occupation, British occupation of poor countries, mainly Muslim
countries. They have the same interest in opposing savage capitalist
globalization, which is intent upon homogenizing the entire world,
turning us basically into factory chickens which can be force fed the
American diet of everything from food to Coca-Cola to movies and TV
culture and whose only role in life is to consume the things produced
endlessly by the multinational corporations ..."

Within hours of its release, "United in Hate" was No. 1 among books
relating to communism, No. 3 among those relating to fascism and No. 5
among those relating to communism and socialism on Amazon.com.

There, reviewers were impressed.

"A great thought provoking read," said Ben R. Furman, former FBI
counterterrorism chief. "Should the book cause even one radical
Leftist to re-examine his or her contorted beliefs and return from the
'dark side,' Dr. Glazov's efforts will be a resounding success."

"As a conservative in all things pertaining to freedom, I highly value
the knowledge I gained from this book, 'United In Hate.' The title
says it all and the diabolical linkage that Jaime Glazov reveals
between those who kill for god and leftists who kill, because they
think they are God. I really admire the way Mr. Glazov compared
apparent contradictions, bringing out very clear and convincing proof
that tyrants and fanatics have a natural affinity to one another,"
wrote Steven Clark Bradley.

Gary Mack said, "Based on what he's written, there's little doubt in
my mind that if an alien ship arrived in America, most of our
Leftists, from Springsteen to Spielburg, would beg to be taken away.
After paying homage to our captors, and after paying their way to the
front of the lines, they would get on their knees, with their arms
stretched out in the direction of the sinister ship. Then they would
chant, 'Free us from our freedom! Free us from our freedom' over and
over."

While it's hardly news that there's cheerleading of anti-American
Islamists on the left, what is news in "United in Hate" is the
startling diagnosis of what is at the root of the alliance.

Glazov concludes: "This is where the Western Left and militant Islam
(like the Western Left and Communism) intersect: human life must be
sacrificed for the sake of the idea. Like Islamists, leftists have a
Manichean vision that rigidly distinguishes good from evil. They see
themselves as personifications of the former and their opponents as
personifications of the latter, who must be slated for ruthless
elimination."

With both ideologies, explains Glazov, the cause is the dividing line
of morality. If you are against it, you are an enemy of the people.

"We'll ask the man, where do you stand on the question of the
revolution?" explained Lenin. "Are you for it or against it? If he's
against it, we'll stand him up against a wall."

Lenin was serious about extermination of political enemies and others
who were inconvenient to the cause of the communist revolution in the
Soviet Union. But that didn't bother western leftists who traveled
there and covered up his crimes and those of his successors.

A legendary and persistent hero of the left in the U.S. to this day is
Ernesto "Che" Guevara, Fidel Castro's second in command, whose image
still emblazons designer T-shirts on college campuses around the
country. His life was recently celebrated in the movie "Motorcycle
Diaries."

But here's what Guevara wrote in his book of the same name: "Crazy
with fury I will stain my rifle red while slaughtering any enemy that
falls into my hands! My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor
of gunpowder and blood. With the deaths of my enemies I prepare my
being for the sacred fight and join the triumphant proletariat with a
bestial howl."

Long after Cuba's firing squads had eliminated tens of thousands of
dissidents and the gulags swallowed up the political prisoners, Glazov
shows, American leftists, including many celebrities, were still
holding up Cuba as the pinnacle of freedom.

Francis Ford Coppola said: "Fidel, I love you. We both have the same
initials. We both have beards. We both have power and want to use it
for good purposes. Harry Belafonte said: "If you believe in freedom,
if you believe in justice, if you believe in democracy, you have no
choice but to support Fidel Castro."

Likewise, Glazov illustrates how many American leftists turned a blind
eye to the potential for mass murder in Vietnam in the event of a
communist victory. Few had second thoughts or expressed regrets or
denunciation of the atrocities when they took place.

"Once again," writes Glazov, "the believers did not care about the
victims of their idols. In the eyes of the Left, those victims had
merely gotten what they deserved – because their existence was an
obstacle in the path to earthly utopia."

Glazov points out that modern Islamism was actually incubated by both
the Nazis and Marxist-Leninist thought.

"While militant Islam has its own unique religious component, it
shares with the secular totalitarianisms the impulse to create an
earthly paradise by washing the slate clean with human blood," he
writes. "There is in fact no sacred/secular distinction in Islam, and
Islamists envision enforcing the kingdom of heaven on earth. The
greatest obligation of the Islamist, like that of the believer in the
other two totalisms, is to submit his will to the deity and, if the
opportunity arises, to give his life for it. Martyrdom and suicide
become the favored expressions of this submission and of the radical
desire for perfection. It is precisely this ingredient that has so
attracted the Western Left to Islamism."

Besides anti-Americanism and bloodlust, leftists and Islamists share
another common denominator, writes Glazov – hatred of Jews.

"Like its ideological cousins, Fascism and Communism, Islamism wages
war against Jews in its effort to secure its own survival," he says.
"Totalist ideologies detest modernity, individual freedom and any
value place on individual human life – notions with which Jews are
strongly identified. Jews also personify the enduring struggle to
survive, rather than the impulse to destroy and perish. … [S]uch a
disposition is tantamount to a declaration of war."
