"In Mohameddanism there is no regenerative power; it is 'of the letter, which killeth,' - unelastic, sterile, barren.... To... progress it must prove an obstacle from its very character... It has no power of adaptation, expansion, development." - Reverend Lees, 1882[1]

Petro-Imperialism

European anti-Ottoman Propaganda... informed the representation of Islam as despotic by Enlightenment figures... (They) described despotism as a system that does not recognize private property, facilitating imperial disposession by Europe... Imperial arguments with regards to "Arab" and "Islamic" oil since World War I through the present moment, articulated under the sign of "development"... (argue that) colonized natives... had no right "to deny their bounties to those who need them." By the conclusion of World War II, a report produced by the Office of Strategic Services for the US State Department argued that "the principle of equitable distribution and exploitation overrides to some extent the sovereign rights of the oil producing countries and presupposes a kind of trusteeship of the big Powers over the world's oil resources."[2]

Climate Denial Network

Many of the leading U.S. foundations funding climate denial and islamophobia are one and the same. For example:

  • Donors Capital Fund & Donors Trust: The billionaire Koch Oil dynasty's "shadow money" network has covertly funneled more than $100 million to leading climate denial organizations and more than $27 million to leading ideologues of islamophobia[3][4][5]
  • The Scaife Family Foundations: the Scaife Family is one the 30 richest U.S. billionaire dynasties, using its historic oil wealth as a top funder of leading climate denial and islamophobia organizations and think tanks[6][7]
  • The Lynde & Harry Bradley Foundation: one of the top 7 non-profit funders of both climate denial and islamophobia over the last decade, financing key institutions in each sector[8][9][10]
