Whittaker Chambers could just as easily have been writing about Islam in this excerpt but he wrote these things before Islam was on his map because of his time frame in history. If he had been a couple of hundred years earlier his topic may have been Islam instead of Communism. In any case, the Communists think of Islam as their attack dog. No doubt the Jihadists consider the Communists their attack dupes. Each one of them is convinced he is wiser that the other. The serpent who wares many masks though “was more subtil than any beast of the field that the LORD God had made” and has made both of them his minions. When one peers behind the curtain it is still the same Lucifer doing the same things. “They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?”

“The more things change, the more they stay the same.”
