islamists

"Of course I have read a lot to understand the inner workings of the political Islamists, the rebels. But then I should also warn you that I have political Islamites in my part of the world, and they had so many affinities, say thirty years ago, with radical Marxists. Among the old fashioned Marxists and political Islamists there is a continuity and repeated pattern of anti-Westernism, of parochialism and all sorts of conspiracy theories in place of logical thinking, especially nationalism disguised as anti-imperialism. Varieties of these thoughts and sentiments are shared by the Marxists and Islamists in many ways." (Pamuk)

da mesma entrevista. mas também há antigos marxistas que são agora anti-islamitas, em quem o sentimento anti-'imperialista' está presente, o que não é difícil encontrar hoje em qualquer ponto do mundo, mas que repudiam veementemente o islamismo, são os filhos de Atatürk.

sobre este assunto que não deixa de ser bastante interessante:
Political Islam: a Marxist analysis
Marx's Lessons for the Muslim Brothers
Marxists and Islamists, Oh My
The Sinister Alliance of the Islamist-Marxist axis (Israeli newspaper)
The Rise of Militant Islam and Marxism
Taksim square in context

(de certo ponto de vista, associar marxismo e islamismo na Turquia pode ser muito ofensivo)
