Let Them Kill Each Other
American Thinker ^ | 06/16/2014 | Mike Konrad

Posted on 06/16/2014 6:47:49 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

I know, I know, the recent ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Levant) gains have everyone scared. No doubt, the Islamophilic administration will want to step in, and save Islam from itself once again. Let me advocate a course of action that will make sense to all sides in America; the left and right; from militarists to pacifists: Let the Muslims kill each other.

After the administration blundered on Benghazi, on the Arab Spring, and Syria, Heaven itself has afforded it one last chance to set itself right. It is almost impossible for the administration to screw it up. All it has to do is nothing.

Yes, Nothing!

ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Levant) is presently a large group of thugs with guns. They have no navy, no air force, except for a few captured helicopters, which they will soon break. The only ones they can threaten are their fellow Muslims. If they take over Iraq, who cares? They will soon reduce the Levant to the seventh century. And this is a problem to us? OK, oil prices may spike for a while, but they are going to need to sell their oil because they’ve got nothing else to produce for export and can’t produce any of the fruits of modern industry. Meanwhile, the high prices will encourage domestic drilling and production of our nearly boundless reserves held in shale deposits, to the point where we will become a major oil exporter ourselves.

These mujahadeen are incapable of maintaining the weapons they already have. Weapons need upkeep. Weapons have to be oiled, cleaned, and upgraded. Upkeep interferes with raping, pillaging, and chopping off heads. Within two years, they will be slaughtering each other with scimitars and rusty AK-47s.

Iraq's president, Maliki has asked for US assistance. Oh really?

I finally reached that point this weekend. I have clung to Kennedy's "....Bear any burden.." promise hoping the light of liberty would shine in that hellhole.

We gave the Iraqis the best shot they would ever get to emerge from the dark ages. They have decided which way they want to go. Now there will be fewer of them.

The author's idea would only ensure the worst people will win.

You are correct. No matter if the sunni win or the shiite win the worst people will win. They are all moslems. The wisdom in the article is that they are killing each other off leaving fewer that we will have to kill. Any time a moslem dies it is a good thing. If he dies while killing more moslems it is a great thing.

Get our huge billion dollar embassy closed. Then let them kill each other. Sounds good to me. It will be fun to watch the Saudis squirm.

The national lines in these countries were drawn sometime before WW 2. Redraw the lines in Iraq into Sunni, Shiite and Kurd. Draw these lines far out in the desert away from cities. Give everyone 30 days to get where you want to be. Any group who crosses these line will be take out by a drone or cruise missile.

NEXT problem.

Just another bunch of Islamic nuts - killing each other but a lot more wary of offending us.

Its much easier to conquer territory than to occupy it. Occupiers, regardless of motivation soon wear out their welcome and a people only changes its thinking when it really wants to.

But mine it before leaving, wait for the overrun, and detonate with glee!

When it comes to muzzies nothing will ever be enough. Their objective is world domination.

If they are not fighting themselves then they will be fighting us somewhere closer to home.

I hope our military and intelligence communities are thinking the unthinkable and I hope the prevention of the next attack starts at the mexican border.

Let's play this out.

Iran is already in country helping their Shia brothers.

Who will come to the aid of their Sunni brothers?

What role will the Kurds play?

As long as we get our embassy people out of harms way I don’t care what happens in Iraq. Muslims killing muslims is a win win.

“You are correct, sir.”

Yes, not one more drop of our blood or penny of our treasury. Let these Mofo cretins go about killing each other. This country has not been in a single war since WWII that has been ultimately worth the cost. Further, I am tired of the US stationing troops all over the world so the a$$holes in whose countries they are located can have a “free” police force to protect them. If Germany wants us to keep troops there, they should pay the entire bill. Ditto for South Korea and Japan. Keep our airbases, but $hitcan the rest of it.

They are their own independent kind ... :-) ...

Quoting ...

Before the spread of Abrahamic religions, many Kurds were followers of Zoroastrianism, Mithraism, or local pagan beliefs. Kurds were assimilating these religious practices into their cultural domain as early as 800 BCE. Arab conquests, however, began in the seventh century AD, eventually overpowering Kurdish resistance.

Over time, Sunni Islam became the dominant religion of the Kurdish people, following the Shafi school. There is a minority Shia population, the Fayli Kurds, who live in central and south eastern Iraq. Though Islam is thought to be a religion of governance as well as spirituality, Kurds made sure to keep spiritual identity separate from national identity. Today, many Muslim Kurds do not consider themselves particularly religious when it comes to adhering to the call to prayer five times a day, but secondary practices of Islam have a stronghold in Kurdish culture. Following Islamic food restrictions, refraining for alcohol consumption, circumcising male newborns, and wearing a veil are all very popular customs to follow.

A minority of Kurds, primarily in the Nineveh Province of Iraq, follow the Yazidism. Yazidism combines complex Kurdish cultural beliefs with Zoroastrianism and Islamic Sufi doctrine. It applies traditions of the Abrahamic religions such as the story of Adam and Eve, the importance of pilgrimage, and daily prayer ritual, to more mystical elements, focusing on the importance of ancestry and the four elements on the Earth. The religion is practiced in the Kurdish dialect of northern Iraqi Kurdistan, Kirmaji. Most Yazidi traditions are transmitted orally rather than through written text, making it difficult to source many Yazidi origins.

Independent. Support their formation of an independent state and they’ll be your ally forever, like Israel. They should also have their share of the oil over there.
