George Soros knows how to throw his money around in order to champion liberal-progressive causes.

We have seen how the Hungarian billionaire has contributed significant funds to immigration activist groups, LGBT organizations, the Black Lives Matter movement, and anti-Israel groups among many others.

Apparently, Soros is also trying to silence groups and individuals who speak out against radical Islam. The Daily Caller reports on how Soros’ groups are targeting the counter-jihad movement:

The 2011 document, entitled “Extreme Polarization and Breakdown in Civil Discourse,” is one of more than 2,500 files stolen from Soros’ Open Society Foundations and published online on Saturday.

It names prominent critics of radical Islam, such as Pamela Geller, Frank Gaffney, and Robert Spencer as targets for opposition researchers working on a project operated by the Center for American Progress (CAP), a liberal think tank that has received millions of dollars in grants from Soros’ groups.

In the memo, Open Society Foundations (OSF) executives lamented that progressive groups and members of the Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South Asian-American (AMEMSA) community lacked “high quality opposition research” to combat “anti-Muslim xenophobia and to promote tolerance.”

To close that gap, OSF sought to provide a $200,000 grant to CAP, which was founded in 2003 by Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta.

The CAP project, called the Examining Anti-Muslim Bigotry Project, set out to engage progressives and journalists to raise awareness about the critics of radical Islam. In addition to Geller, Gaffney and Spencer, CAP planned to “research and track” the activities of David Horowitz, Daniel Pipes, Cliff May and Liz Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney.

“CAP’s first step will be to interview and engage journalists, researchers, academics, and leaders in the anti-hate movement who are researching and writing on Islamophobia, and to develop a roster of knowledgeable and credible experts to whom journalists and policymakers can turn for information,” it continues.

OSF did fund CAP’s project. Its 2011 tax filings show that it gave CAP the $200,000 grant as well as two others totaling $500,000.

This kind of targeting against counter jihad activism is typical knowing Soros’ efforts to flood Europe with Muslim refugees, and exhorting President Obama to support democracy in the run-up to Egypt’s 2012 Presidential election knowing the Muslim Brotherhood’s strength.

Soros likely views Islamists as key allies in changing the international power structure from being more nation-state oriented to becoming more globalist.

By supporting the ‘Islamophobia’ narrative – which seeks to ultimately silence opponents of Islamists – Soros likely sees an opportunity to quiet the opponents of not only Sharia but also multiculturalism.

Soros can try to stifle opponents of Islamism all he wants but he cannot suppress the truth about political Islam and its Sharia agenda even with his billions of dollars.

For leftists like Soros, their pact with Islamists is myopic at best – if they ever succeed at crushing their competition on the political right, they will have to deal with an emboldened political Islam that is extremely hostile to their liberal-progressive values.

It looks like Soros and other leftists will continue to try and purge the West of its Judeo-Christian foundation in favor of multiculturalism that gives way to an Islamic civilization rooted in coercion and extreme inequality of the genders. Soros may end up eating sour grapes in the end.
