America and Russia must both be brain dead in ignoring Islamic State's increasing threat to their vital respective interests in the Middle East
Whilst the American—led coalition continues its largely ineffectual air strikes in Iraq and Syria—Islamic State has spread its barbaric tentacles into Libya with alarming rapidity.
Islamic State has claimed responsibility for:
Attacking Tripoli’s downtown luxury hotel in January - the Corinthian - which left 11 dead The brutal mass beheading of 21 Egyptian Christian Copts A multi-pronged suicide attack that killed at least 45 people in the town al Qubbah in Libya’s east. Seizing the university in Sirte - deposed dictator Muammar Gadaffi’s hometown.
Egypt’s President - Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi—has called for intervention by the United Nations:
“What is going on in Libya could change this country into a breeding ground that could threaten the whole region, not only Egypt. Egypt, the Mediterranean Basin and Europe have to deal with this problem because the mission was unaccomplished, was unfinished by our European friends. We abandoned the Libyan people as prisoners to extremist militias.”

I caught something on twitter this morning saying that Egypt is considering airstrikes in Gaza. It appeared to come from Israeli radio but I don’t know how accurate the report was.
"Brain dead"??? "Ignoring"???
Nonsense. Barry "Choom Gang" Soetoro is an islamist; an enemy agent. He clearly APPROVES ISIS' increasing threat to America's vital interests.
Just under 4 minutes of ABSOLUTE DYNAMITE re. ISLAM!

IOW, the author doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Thanks! He told it like it is.
I predict Egypt will eventually occupy Libya.
Thank you for this great video.
Jimmy Carter, a Democrat, had then, egyptian president anwar sadat and the Israeli leader meet. Wha’ hoppen?? Ol’ anwar got shot, by his own people.
Obama, a Democrat, had the egyptian leader removed, and it’s been downhill ever since!
al-Sisi might be the new Ataturk. A bit diluted, perhaps, but sane.
Perhaps it is providential that the fight against ISIS will appropriately be initiated and launched by a Muslim country.
isis holding 150 Christians. barky praises allah.
You’re welcome. Please share it. We’re running out of time to stop these savages!
I don't think either country is "ignoring their vital respective interests in the Middle East". They just have a different approach.
