Michael Youssef
An Unholy Alliance: How Progressivism Brought About an Islamist Invasion
Nashville, TN: Ascaine Press, 2026

On May 21, 2025, a gunman murdered Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim in Washington D.C. Milgrim was not killed in the immediate flurry of gunfire; she was wounded and then killed by being shot execution-style as she tried to crawl away. The pair were in a serious courtship and Lischinsky, a practicing Christian, had an engagement ring in his pocket. The couple worked at the embassy of modern Israel. Their alleged killer was not a Muslim or a Palestinian, instead he was a well-known US-born progressive protestor who often walked the streets raging against corporations and the police.

On January 7, 2026, Renée Good, a Leftist woman in a lesbian relationship, stalked ICE agents in Minneapolis in her SUV and was then shot and killed by an agent as she attempted to run him over. A few weeks later, on January 24, Alex Pretti, was shot after agents of the US Customs and Border Protection Service recognized that he was armed while he resisted arrest. Pretti had become radicalized as a Leftist online. In the days prior to his death, his style of protest had become dangerously aggressive and reckless—he’d spit at immigration officials and kicked out a tail light of a government vehicle. Both Good and Pretti were protesting on behalf of Somali Muslims who formed the most troublesome central core of the migrant dilemma in Minnesota. It is unthinkable that a Somali would ever help either Good or Pretti, so they were, what the Soviets called their liberal American supporters during the Cold War—useful idiots.

Obviously, there are significant differences between the diplomats working at the embassy of the modern Israeli government and the Heritage Americans who are greatly aided by the operations of ICE. These differences, however, are not so insurmountable that junior staffers from the Israeli diplomatic mission should be ambushed on date-night. Modern Israel’s egregious actions against the United States—espionage and lobbying—are also emulated by other nations whose individual citizens are much less personally charming than Israelis. What the politics underpinning the events described above have in common is that Leftists were committing violence on behalf of Muslims.

The Omnicause

This convergence of Islam and insane Leftist violence is the Omnicause—a collection of progressive beliefs which merge LGBTQ dogma, climate hysteria, and “civil rights,” with sympathy and support for Islamic communities and the terrorism which comes with them.

What aligns the far-Left in America with Islamic forces? Michael Youssef, a Christian minister of Christian-Egyptian heritage, has written a book which seeks to answer the question. The book takes on an Evangelical Protestant theological perspective which accepts the concept of Judeo-Christianity.

While this might seem like the neo-conservative goyslop that appeared everywhere after September 11, 2001, Youssef’s book has two critical ideas that separate it from the neo-conservative dogma of two-an-a-half decades ago. The first is that Leftism is dangerous, the second idea is that Islamic Civilization is also intrinsically hazardous. The neo-conservatives of the Bush II regime were ex-Trotskyites who wanted to invite in immigrants from the places they bombed. The neo-conservatives even insisted that Islam was The Religion of Peace^TM.

There is also some race realism in the book. Youssef writes,

The Omnicause will never collapse under the weight of its logical fallacies, because leftist and Islamist ideologies don’t care about logic. No less an authority than the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture has declared that “objective, rational, linear thinking” is a “white value” to be distrusted and rejected! Unreasoning passion and emotion drive the Omnicause – not logic. (p. 4) [My emphasis.]

The Omnicause is extremely powerful. It caused members of the British Establishment to deliberately suppress and hide the grooming gang scandal and make no rational reforms after years of Islamic terrorist bombings across England. Other parts of Europe are poisoned by the Omnicause. After a Muslim migrant from Afghanistan who shouted “Allahu Akbar” drove his car into strikers in Munich Germany in early 2025, the victims downplayed the Islamic immigrant angle:

[T]he leaders [of the strikers in the union who were attacked] didn’t want any union members to blame Islamists for this attack – a reminder that the leftists, Progressives, Socialists [Reds], and Islamists [Greens] are all part of one big Red-Green Alliance, the Omnicause, and no one is allowed to break ranks and tell the truth about a terrorist attack in Munich. (p. 108)

The Theology of Leftism & the Theology of Islam

Youssef offers a theological critique of Leftism, but he pulls his punches. He focuses on the trends within Protestant Christianity whose internal logic cannot resist Islamic advances. A simplified form of his critique divides Protestants into two camps. The first is the ideology of universal salvation—which is propagated by denominations such as the Unitarian-Universalists. Within the borders of the idea of universal salvation lie Pogressive Christianity, Post-Evangelicalism, and Antinomianism.

The second camp in prostrate Protestantism is that of the Trojan Horse. The Emerging Church is the first of this batch. It deconstructs the meaning of Christianity. The Insider Movement is a strategy whereby Christians live entirely as Muslims and change nothing. The last faction is a merging of Christianity and Islam called Chrislam which is basically Islam.

Youssef doesn’t mention the fact that Leftism is a religion in and of itself which emerged out of the ideology of the radicals who made the French Revolution. These Leftists have an impulse to do violence that masquerades as moral compassion. Leftism is also infused with Negro Worship, a theological poison which Anglo-Protestants developed during the slavery debate prior to the Civil War.

There is something within Leftism which attracts cruel women, also. The most vocal proponents of Leftist flapdoodles are liberal women. Gay marriage and transsexualism had many feminine supporters. These issues are fads, however. When the transsexual craze burned out like the coonskin cap fad, liberal women got interested in other things—like refugees. There is a girl boss psychological issue here—a ravenous desire to spread unhappiness—that I cannot fully understand or explain.

Youssef’s exploration of Islamic theology is the perfect balance of depth and simplicity. Islam emerged when its founder, Mohammed, dimly picked up religious ideas he heard from Christians and Jews and applied it to the astrological cult practice by his fellow Arabs. His faith made quick conquests across the Middle East in no small part because the nearby empires of Rome and Persia had exhausted themselves in a bitter war and were wracked with plague. Mohammed’s god, “Allah” is not the same god as “I Am Who I Am” in Christianity or Judaism. In the latter faiths, Divine Providence is knowable, in Islam there is nothing to do but submit. Youssef writes that in the Bible humanity is made,

…in the image of God (see Genesis 1:27). In contrast, the Quran emphasizes Allah’s otherness, making it clear that nothing is comparable to Allah – least of all, human beings. In fact, Quran 8:22 compares unbelievers to stupid animals: “Lo! the worst of beasts in Allah’s sight are the deaf, the dumb, who have no sense” (that is, unbelievers, non-Muslims). This stark contrast between the Biblical view of humanity versus the Quranic view may help explain why radical, political Islam places so little value on individual human lives, whether the lives believers or unbelievers. This may also explain why, in its most extreme, radical, fundamentalist form, Islam easily becomes a death cult, whereas Judeo-Christian beliefs place a premium value on the life of every individual, because every individual is made in the image of God. (p. 73)

Youssef also showcases several of the writers who created the Muslim Brotherhood. This group has done a great deal to damage progressive governments based on Arab ethnonationalism. The first theologian of the Muslim Brotherhood was Hassan al-Banna (born in 1906). The second, Sayyid Qutb, was also born in 1906. Qutb spent time in Greeley, Colorado in the 1940s. He seems to have been partially radicalized by his failure to woo white American women. His writings also portray Americans as brutal and obsessed with violent sport. He also criticized segregation, which was then ongoing.

There is a generational tie between the proponents of radical and expansive Islam and the Anglo-Saxon true believers of “civil rights.” Both groups were born plus or minus eight years from 1900. Not only do al-Banna and Qutb match this pattern, but the anti-American hostage-taker Ruhollah Khomeini, who created Iran as an Islamic Republic in 1979, was born in 1900. I cannot explain why this is. Regardless, Khomeini’s ideological followers portrayed George Floyd as a Shia Muslim saint in 2020—an obviously hostile act towards white Americans as well as another marker that showcases the Red-Green Alliance. Youssef believes that Twelver Shi’ism, which is dominant in Iran, is exceptionally dangerous.

Stealth Jihad & Qatar

There is an ongoing colonization by Muslims of Europe and America. Several towns in Michigan have entirely Islamified local governments, which means that we will see more Muslim ambassadors, senators, and judges across the United States all of whom will rule over a population of Heritage Americans who they will despise and abuse. Immigration restrictions and remigration policies will help mitigate this problem.

Jewish control of the American media and the influence of the Israel Lobby is now an open secret. Jewish influence is a fact openly discussed at the highest levels. This knowledge is so widespread the case can be made that Jewish influence in the United States has passed its peak. It is therefore only a matter of time before the Palestinians get a just settlement. However, there is another Semitic Lobby out there that isn’t yet identified—the stealth jihadis that are the Gulf Arabs—especially the Qataris.

Qatar is a nation with a population of 300,000 native Qataris who rule a guest worker population of more than two million. They also host a massive American base which is the central hub for the US Air Force in the region. Qataris have also developed a sophisticated media network and twenty-four-hour news channel, Al Jazeera.

While Al Jazeera does accurately report on Jewish issues and the crimes of Zionism, it is every bit an information operation against Anglo-Americans as any other news agency. Israeli media figures do mention Islamic grooming gangs in England and express awareness of white American concerns on occasion. Al Jazeera does none of that. Youssef writes,

Al Jazeera is thus a powerful propaganda weapon funded and controlled by tiny, oil-rich Qatar. From lavishing expensive gifts on Western politicians to hosting global sporting events, from indoctrinating Western students to shaping Western public opinion, the Qatari connection is a web of subversive relationships. Though Qatar is tiny and sparsely populated, its enormous oil and gas reserves have given the Qatari ruling family the global influence of a superpower. And Qatar unapologetically supports such dangerous Islamist networks as Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. Now more than ever, Westerners – and especially Western leaders – should beware of Qataris bearing gifts. (p. 40)

Qataris are also starting to flex in America. Youssef writes,

Bruce Hoffman – a Georgetown professor who focuses on terrorism and insurgency studies – posted on X.com, “Of course Hamas acquired this arsenal using the largesse bestowed on it from Iran as well as Qatar.” After Hoffman posted the comment, he was contacted by a former Defense Department official with a message from the Pentagon: The Qataris were unhappy with his post on X, and the Pentagon wanted him to stop tweeting. Hoffman’s remarks, they said, might “endanger” the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. The American base in Qatar may have given the U.S. a strategic foothold in the Middle East – but it also gave Qatar leverage over the Pentagon. A Qatari official could pick up the phone, express his country’s displeasure – and suppress the free speech of a Georgetown professor. Every American should find this incident chilling. (p. 33)

Hoffman is probably Jewish, so this controversy has the sense of the imported conflict from the Middle East to it. Hamas is also a group—a militia—that will naturally develop when a people is under pressure as the Palestinians are. But Islam more broadly is not defensive—it is imperialistic and demands submission. It is very likely that Qatar is sending money and weapons to Jihadist forces everywhere—perhaps even Michigan. It is also obvious that a nation with so much money will eventually seek to push around Old-Stock Americans also. In doing such a thing, Qataris and other Muslims will find a willing ally in useful idiot Leftists.
