‘They don't have to fight alone’: Why victims of jihadism are turning to the Jews
TERROR AFFAIRS: Jewish activist Charles Jacobs has launched a global coalition bringing together Jews, Christians, Yazidis and other minorities facing jihadist persecution.
Dr. Charles Jacobs has co-founded the International Freedom Coalition (IFC) to combat the shared experiences of persecution faced by various minority communities, including Jews, at the hands of jihadist movements worldwide. He believes that these communities, like the Jewish people, have a natural alliance due to their collective struggle against radical Islamism.Jacobs asserts that the Red-Green alliance between Islamists and far-left elements is often united more by a common opposition to the West rather than shared values.
He argues that those who align with such groups may themselves become victims of jihadist persecution in the future. The IFC aims to unite these communities and amplify their voices, demonstrating that dismissing the grievances of a single persecuted group is easier than addressing the collective concerns of multiple communities.He emphasizes that the IFC supports Muslim victims of jihadist violence just as strongly as it supports other persecuted groups, rejecting accusations of Islamophobia.
Recent efforts by the IFC include raising awareness about the jihad murder and enslavement of black Africans in Nigeria and Sudan, pushing back against the silencing of critics by those accused of Islamophobia.
