Why Radical Islam Just Won’t Die Once again the NYT declares radical Islamism is created and strengthened by American extremist ideologies. The mysterious zones of extremist ideology he writes about are anything but that. No matter which side you are on.

In today’s Middle East, the various radical Islamists, basking in their success, paint their liberal rivals and opponents as traitors to Muslim civilization, stooges of crusader or Zionist aggression. And, weirdly enough, all too many intellectuals in the Western countries have lately assented to those preposterous accusations Extremes meet. Islamist fanatics and leftist Western intellectuals find themselves on the same page. Both groups think that they can invent something better than the chaotic greedy materialistic capitalism -- which, of course, in their opinion does not deserve to be as successful as it is.
