The red-green alliance is a name for tactical cooperation between the revolutionary left and political Islam. They disagree about faith, society, and individual liberty. Yet both have at times opposed American power and Israel, and both know how to organize. The danger lies in the shared campaign that masks incompatible long-term ambitions. A mere count of socialist and Muslim officeholders doesn’t tell the whole story. The evidence lies in the organizations working together.
History supplies a warning about alliances whose members believe they can use one another.
