I note that the links between Nazism and modern Jihad, both in tone and approach, are numerous enough to be noteworthy. The Jihadist approach to the West is informed and influenced by agitprop victimology street-thuggery tactics developed and perfected by Hitler and other leftists.

You are correct that the Left regards Hitler as Right, and that the Left regards the Right as a bigger threat than the Jihad, and so is happy to combine with them against a mutual foe. I am not so condescending as to attribute to stupidity what can be with fewer assumptions be ascribed to sin. The desire to be God is pride -- and, no, the Left may lack a metaphysic to define and justify this desire, but neither do they place any weight on definitions and justice, only in the desire. The fact that there is no God in a materialist universe does not stop materialists from wanting to be Gods, or, at least, superhumans who live beyond good and evil and ergo are allowed to continue to visit their whores.

Speaking as an intelligent man who intellect is corrupted by pride myself, let me affirm that the appeal of reckless, self-destructive pride as a temptation is not one I would underestimate.
