Peloni:  I have mentioned this before but it is highly relevant to Dan Burwami’s thesis below.  America and Israel each in turn found inspirations in each other’s history when America was founded and Israel was reconstituted.  Of course, Israel’s history goes back three millennia, and America’s goes back but 250 years, but America sought to emulate itself around the principles favored by the Founding Fathers in the history of the ancient Hebrew commonwealth, and in so doing, it created what would become the foundation of the Western world.  Simultaneously, the founding of Israel saw the image of its own history displayed in American governance, reinforcing the template of its own heritage in reconstituting the state of Israel.  So when Burwami finds the relevance of Zionism being close to the core of Western civilization, the overlap which exists between the Zionist project and the Western world predates the establishment of both the reconstitution of Israel and the founding of America.  Hence, the the principles of the ancient Hebrew nation which exists in both the American and Zionist projects are what has risen to both strengthen the West, while also drawing the ire of its enemies into forging the current alliance which stands poised to defeat both of these great nations, as discussed in detail below.

Here was Islam as a political system that commands its followers to fight until the religion of Allah reigns supreme.
