This is one of the most important books to drop in 2026.

“When Marx Meets Islam: Navigating Radical Ideologies in Defense of the West” (Pitchstone Publishing) explores how the rise of democratic socialism and communism actively collaborates with Islamism and the Muslim Brotherhood, with the shared target of dismantling the U.S.-Israel alliance and undermining the West at large.

Out October 13th. Mark your calendars, and let me know your thoughts on this topic in the comments.

The congregants of Qadhi’s mosque will overwhelmingly back Talarico, the pro-trans candidate who views God as non-binary. Sounds real Islamic, right? Their vote won’t be driven by shared principles or values, but by political convenience: they see Talarico as easily influenced, eager to champion the Palestinian cause to signal his progressivism and validate his standing with “marginalized” groups. This captures the essence of the tactical Red-Green alliance. Talarico is actually more dangerous than Qadhi, and that is saying something.

@willchamberlain The resumes are always the same, like they are scripted and planned by a structured farm system from the woke DEI world.

@DanBurmawy @KonstantinKisin @francisjfoster @triggernometry @ComicDaveSmith He couldn’t hold a candle to you.

[Dan Burmawi @DanBurmawy]

Today, as I arrived at the studio to record with @KonstantinKisin and @francisjfoster for @TRIGGERnometry, I met @ComicDaveSmith as he was leaving the building.

He was on the phone, but I stopped him anyway.

He didn’t recognize me, so I introduced myself and asked him to have a conversation with me. He refused and walked away.

I’m not sure whether he eventually recognized me or not, but for the past two years I’ve responded to nearly every lie Dave has spewed on this platform, and some of those posts have received millions of views, so at the very least he should have recognized my name.

Anyway, I asked Konstantin to get Dave Smith to debate me.

Let’s see if he accepts.

@SenSanders “Boycott Bernie.” Stop taking the fun and joy out of life. Allow people to love the game of basketball. Good grief.

"I'm sorry it offends you when I point out you're a tool of the Iranian regime"

That was for everyone who wanted to say that to Trita Parsi over the many years he has been undermining US foreign policy towards Iran.

@cmconsidine Georgetown should be renamed MB University.

Imagine being so mad about a book that you have to attack the guy who reviewed it

[Nathan Lean @nathanlean]

Pipes has advanced the lie of European "no-go zones" overrun by Sharia; written that Obama was a practicing Muslim; advocated racial profiling; denigrated "brown-skinned peoples" and their "strange food;" and hailed Geert Wilders as the "most important politician in Europe."

[Canary Mission @canarymission]

Using a diagram from our groundbreaking report on extremist PACs reshaping American politics, @Gideon_Askowitz and @realDailyWire expose the influence of @CAIRNational on U.S. politics.

Texas has formally designated CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations under state law. CAIR is challenging the designation in federal court.

Florida has also designated both groups as terrorist organizations. A federal court blocked its earlier designation against CAIR, while a subsequent designation remains the subject of ongoing litigation.

For all those still trying to justify the rioting in France: If protestors are just concerned about better conditions in schools, why are they targeting synagogues and Jewish businesses?

This is the “long march through the institutions,” per Gramsci and Mao’s strategy.

[Sarah Adams @sarahadams]

You think indoctrination in our colleges is bad….here CAIR says, hold my beer.

We are allowing this to occur.

Deeply grateful to Dr. Daniel Pipes for this thoughtful review of "When Marx Meets Islam."

Dr. Pipes is one of the most important scholars of the Middle East and radical ideologies of our time. A historian who taught at the University of Chicago, Harvard University, and the Naval War College, he served on the policy planning staff at the U.S. Department of State, held roles in the Department of Defense, and served across five presidential administrations - including two presidential appointments (vice chairman of the Fulbright Board and on the board of the U.S. Institute of Peace). He founded the @meforum and has spent decades documenting the threats of Islamism and the strategic challenges facing the West and Israel.

His review captures the book’s core argument with precision: that the survival of the U.S.-Israel partnership is decisive for whether the West ultimately prevails or succumbs; that Marxists and Islamists have formed a strategic alliance to subvert Western civilization, dismantle American systems, and destroy Israel through internal ideological subversion that exploits our commitment to tolerance; and that this is carried out through the coordinated efforts of students, professors, organizations, politicians, and foreign actors. He also notes the call for an “intolerance of intolerance”—clear red lines—and the personal dimension of reclaiming truth.

Thank you, Dr. Pipes, for your generous and serious engagement with the work. It means a great deal coming from someone with your record of scholarship and public service.
