Islam and the messes in the Middle East
Dan Miller's Blog ^ | June 14, 2014 | Dan Miller

The Obama Administration has led America down the wrong road.

An article at Front Page Magazine presents two excellent YouTube videos. The first video knits together the multiple kerfuffles in the Middle East -- Libya, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq and, indeed, the entire Middle East. The discussion of Iraq begins at 00:08:00.

The second video suggests why libruls make themselves dangerously unaware of the evils of Islam.

Why do librul feminists tend to ignore female genital mutilation? Do they lack compassion or simply hope to ignore what is happening to their sisters? Why do the "legitimate" media ignore it? Perhaps because to mention it would neither be politically correct nor comport with their ideology?

As I understand it, most of the violence in the Middle East is Moose Limb on Moose Limb.

So how come they're not being called Islamaphobes?

A quote from an 1899 book by Winston Churchill, "The River War", in which he describes Muslims he apparently observed during Kitchener's campaign in the Sudan

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”

The mess in the ME is not a mess - it's the plan. We destabilized Iraq, were instrumental in creating the phony Arab Spring and are attempting to destabilize Syria. Why? To create a virulent jihadi Middle East.

Why would we want this? For World War 3! Once the jihadis control the entire ME, whichever NWO idiot is in the White House (Jeb? Hillary?) will be shocked... SHOCKED, I TELL YOU... that jihadis are fomenting terrorism around the world. That idiot will pull together a worldwide coalition to fight the threat that we created!

This is how elites have done it for the entire modern era - create a threat and use it to justify war. Eisenhower warned us of the military-industrial complex and we didn't listen.

Thanks to the string pullers, we have not been exposed to the real dark side of Islam. Here is a little insight to that dark side and how many centuries, they have been killing each other.

Why the Sunnis and Shites hate and kill each other, courtesy of Fitzy_888 :

This blood feud dates from the beginning of Islam, a tribe that would later be Sunni’s from Syria beheaded Mohammed’s grandson (the Mohammed) and brought his head to Damascus as a trophy. Sunni’s broke the blood line of the prophet, this is why zealous Shiites will kill Syrian Sunni’s with zeal. It dates back to the four caliph, under the fourth successor to Mohammed, Mohammed’s cousin...also his son-in-law. Mohammed’s cousin married Mohammed’s daughter Fatima, their son and heir to the Islamic caliphate was killed by a tribe from present day Syria who would later identify as Sunni.

Iran having a Shiite majority already has military forces fighting ISIS (Sunni) in Syria along side their
proxy Hezzbulah.

All eyes have been on ISIS as the jihadist group, in a matter of days, cut Iraq in half and declared its own state in the cities it captured. With fewer than 10,000 fighters ISIS forced the retreat of the better-armed Iraqi army forces many times its size. Their incredible success on the battlefield has fed into a growing lore about the group: the small band of fanatics that can take down a country. The truth is more basic and it’s something ISIS doesn’t want to admit—they weren’t acting alone.

It wasn’t having God on their side that let ISIS conquer Mosul and Tikrit with hardly a fight, analysts say. It was the other Sunni insurgent groups that were there alongside them, unacknowledged partners in the coalition. Those groups have deep organizational roots and were instrumental in the takeover but have been largely overshadowed by ISIS.
The standoff in Iraq isn’t between a single militant group and the government. There is a broad coalition of Sunni groups—both nationalist and Islamist—who had been plotting against Iraq’s Shia government for years before ISIS’s rise provided the chance to strike. ISIS and its partners are unnatural allies. Maintaining their unity was the key to their early success, and is the only way they can hold the ground they have taken, but that incentive may prove to be weaker than the force of their natural hostilities.

“ISIS control in Mosul is contingent on political alliances they have made with the Baathists and the tribal groups,” said Brian Fishman, a fellow at the New America Foundation, who has been following ISIS since the group’s early days during the Iraq war.

The Middle East (and anywhere the Muslims are a majority) ARE a mess. They have caused messes on a worldwide level for 1,400+ years. The Sunni vs. Shi'ite hate fest has gone on that long. That George W. Bush and his advisers thought he could ‘fix’ the ME without fixing Islam is mind numbing. Worse, GWB brought Muslim terrorists into his own administration so he could be ‘inclusive’ with ‘moderate’ Muslims. He totally ignored his best adviser on Muslims, Daniel Pipes. This has gotten worse with Barry as POTUS.

>The Obama Administration has led America down the wrong road.<

.
We set our steps on the wrong road when we accepted that foolish statement that ‘Islam is a Religion of Peace’ and every member of government rose in applause. That statement made by the POTUS was never retracted so, as far as the American people are concerned, it still stands.

We set our steps on the wrong road when the succeeding POTUS boldly stated that he would side with Islam if the situation would turn ugly for it, while NO ONE (congressman, journalist nor American citizen) questioned that remark.

Has any prominent journalist ever asked: “Mr. President, what do you mean when you say that you will side with Islam? Al-Qaeda, ISIS, CAIR, Boko-Haram and the Taliban are all part of Islam. Will you side with any of them?”
