I was inclined to dismiss the alliance of campus leftists and Islamists as a lunatic fringe,\u201d she says. \u201cThey are not the fringe anymore.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Detailing how the leftist dominance of the media, academia, and the corporate world, Ali explains how intolerance of other viewpoints has been inculcated among many young people.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Going back to the threat of radical Islam, Ali describes how many in America chose to adopt a materialist explanation for why the U.S. was attacked on 9\/11. She asserts that the attackers were instead underpinned by firm ideological convictions, with the end goal of creating a caliphate in mind.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cTwo decades later we see a similar dynamic, only this time it is within America\u2019s borders,\u201d she claims, pointing to the materialist explanations given for the Black Lives Matter movement and protests. While noting that social concerns are real, she says that there is a deeper ideology behind the movement and unrest.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWokism is just another version of Marxism; it scorns religion and the idea of an afterlife. Wokism divides society into myriad identities, whereas Islamists\u2019 division is simpler: believers and unbelievers,\u201d Ali says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>There are many differences between Wokism and Islamism, she says, but there are many similarities too.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe adherents of each pursue ideological purity, certain of their own rectitude. Neither Islamists nor the woke will engage in debate; both prefer indoctrination of the submissive and damnation of those who resist,\u201d she says.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>She continues, \u201cBoth like burning the American flag. Both take offense at every opportunity and demand not just apologies, but concessions. Islamism inveighs against \u2018blasphemy\u2019; Wokism wants to outlaw \u2018hate speech.\u2019\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>WATCH:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What Radical Islam and the Woke Have In Common | 5 Minute Videos\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-tkGEFhHM5I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
