I can't believe Lou thinks Islamism is progressive.

Uhh, unless I am mistaken we are talking about OSAM BIN ALDEN and his
Islamists, are we not? Osama bin laden, billionaire representative of the
royal family of Saudi Arabia, who are scum bags as bad as any, and of his
faction, born of the Wahabbi Islamist rape of Afghanistan. The U.S. and
Saudis did not pour SIX billions into the hands of these "anti-imperialists"?
Into the hands of precisley the forces of osama bin Laden?  They were not
backed to the hilt by the worst reactionaries, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan?
They did not attack Afghanistan like a disease?  They were not then sent out
to the balkans, into the former Soviet Republics and elsewhere to act as part
of the US assault?  This is "progressive"?

Unbelievable.
