Across Western universities, newsrooms, and halls of government, an unholy alliance has been forged between secular progressivism and political Islamism—two ideologies united by their shared rejection of Judeo-Christian civilization. In An Unholy Alliance, Dr. Michael Youssef—a cultural anthropologist trained at Emory University and raised in Egypt under Islamic socialism—exposes the "Red-Green" convergence: a strategic partnership between Western socialists and Islamist movements that exploit democratic freedoms to dismantle the very foundations that make those freedoms possible.
