George Will: Fascism, Alive and Abroad: "'That man[who killed Daniel Pearl? ]', Levy reports, 'was able to recite entire pages of Mein Kampf by heart.' Levy's book suggests that the Cold War may come to be remembered as a parenthesis in a much longer war against the remarkable resilience and insufficiently understood variousness of fascism."
This is a perceptive review by George Will of the book Who Killed Daniel Pearl by French Author Bernard-Henri Levy. The sentence quoted above is provacative, but incorrect. Whitaker Chambers, years ago, perceived that Communism was another form for fascism. But the main issue remains. The Islamic world bought deeply into fascism, because of the Anti-Semitism of Hitler and his thugs. The petty dictatorship's like that of Saddam were modeled on the fascist model, using terror as a means of control, keeping the tight economic control, and brutal control of the press. Murder was and is a state policy in these states, and this world will never progress to acceptable civilization until the theories [religious] that are based on a skewed view of Israel and the Western world are abandoned.
For years the dreadful and spurious pamphlet, The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, has been circulated and widely read in the Muslim world, feeding the anti-Semitism and hatred in that world. A world view based upon hatred and conspiracy cannot produce a civilization--it can only destroy what is around it.
