For a while, the Ottoman Empire was able to keep the more violent types under control. But then references how the British and Americans acquiesced to the spread of Islamic puritanism in order to arrange the global pieces after the fall of the Ottoman empire. One thing I noted is that the purists preferred to use knives to kill since guns and such were Western creations.
The harsh ultra-violence of Muslims vs Muslims and other non-Muslims is documented. The author suggests that ISIS and movements like it are really about the control of Medina and Mecca and theres nothing Western powers can do but stand by and watch.
Well worth the read even if it is on Huffington.
Except be ready to put someone down if they come at us with a knife, gun, truck or pressure cooker.
Bkmk
Wonder if ISIS would blow up the Kaaba in Mecca?
If our NEA was in charge of their history education, they would not have had a chance to remember anything.
I read that the British encouraged Wahabbism to weaken the Ottoman Empire. British and French Orientalism got us involved in this mess of a region.
Sorry but I neither need nor do I want to understand hateful nonsense. Nor do I want to understand or try to reason with a rabid dog. I simply want them to be hunted down and slaughtered like the rabid dogs they are!
Sorry, have little or no interest in wasting an hour of my life reading about the problems in that sandy shithole far enough away from us that I don’t give a chit!
Let’s use our OWN f**king oil and NG as efficiently as possible, get the hell OUT of that region, let them kill one another off if they must — as they have been for centuries —, bomb any segment of them that poses a REAL, HONEST-TO-GOD THREAT to US or a needed ally back to the STONE AGE.

Nuke ‘em all - let God sort them out.
I will always believe that saudi arabia should have been the first take down in the immediate aftermath of 9/11.
Any dignitaries should have been meeting with the American military governor.
The history of Wahhabism in Arabia is but a modern iteration of periodic phases of the History of Islam wherever it has spread. Wahhabism was not a problem for the world so long as it was confined by the poverty of Moslem society under European colonial domination and did not rise to trouble the saner parts of the earth until the West endowed it and all of Greater Arabia with excess resources in order to make Worldwide Jihad a possibility then a reality. Islam is like the Thugee cult of India writ very very large.
Remarkable document coming from the Huffington Post.
Extremely accurate and less lurid than the real details.
Wahhabis are savages who kill their own and anyone outside Islam with unmatched brutality.
“To appease a party that hates your way of life, you must change your way of life. The only way America can appease the Muslim world is for America to cease to be America.”

What if there is no more Medina/Mecca?
Should be read by conservatives. But i had a hard time believing i actually reading this on Huffpo. I thought i was reading the Atlantic.
You Cant Understand ISIS If You Dont Know the History of...
"Islam did not rise except through Ali's sword and Khadijah's wealth,"
