ISIS has already morphed into a global killing machine. Hundreds are killed daily, soon thousands, then the apocalypse. Obama claims the US is an Islamic nation. That is not wishful thinking. At a thousand deaths a day the masses of people will bow down to Allah.
This is why strongman dictators like Saddam worked in places like Iraq. He could keep these groups in check with brutal force. Not sayin’ he was a good guy, just an iron fist.
All you have to do is read history.
It is all right there.
ISIS-like ideology has existed since the dawn of Islam.
It is embedded within Islam and is part and parcel with Islam.
It has never been ‘defeated’ or gone away.
Ever.
I beg our military and political leaders.
READ HISTORY
ISIS isn’t the biggest problem, demographic Jihad is. How can we win there when our leaders won’t even acknowledge it’s a problem?
Excellent and well-written article. Shared it with everyone. This is key information about an enemy that isn’t going anywhere and people need to know that.
Coming from an expert in all things Islam like Daniel Greenfield; people should listen!
Looks like a key word was left out. I do this all the time too. Thinking faster than I can type and I get ahead of myself. Care to fill in the missing word? I can guess (bigger) but then I could be wrong.
“bloodier”
much worse and much bigger
I skip things when I am tired
No kidding. That is why Obama and Clinton destabilizing the Middle East was like throwing gasoline on a fire.
Me too. Sometimes I look at things I’ve written while tired later on after getting some rest and my own words look like gibberish to me.
I do wish there was at least a 5 minute window for correcting mistakes in a post but a 24 hour window would be even better. I’ve made some posts late at night I wish I could just delete.
Purposeful
I think Bannon does get it: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/feb/03/steve-bannon-islamophobia-film-script-muslims-islam
Ditto for Bahrain, the other tolerant outpost in the region.
Indonesia is another story still. With the exception of Aceh Province (where a radical separatist movement dating back to the days of Dutch colonialism thrives), Christian missionaries are welcome in most of the country. They do good stuff and leave money. Even in Aceh, which has special status as Sharia law, pockets of tolerance may be found but it should be considered a no-go zone. All of the perps in the Bali bombing came from Aceh.
Finally, there is oil rich Brunei, surrounded by Indonesia but officially practicing the same tolerant brand of Islam as the UAE.
There are also places like Egypt and Jordan, where the rulers may (currently) be strong and sincere U.S. allies but a strong undercurrent of radical Islam makes itself manifest in random killings of tourists and Christians which make the news from time to time. The world might hold together if that type of leadership spreads or if Arab or Persian version of Ataturk emerges. We had just such a model under the Shah in Iran before Jimmy Carter helped force him out and got thanked as radical Islam always thanks such useful idiot Infidel allies.
The Circassians are another and those in Israel can and do join the IDF, same as the Druzes who are also one of the Assad-protected miinorities in Syria.The Kurds qualify for the time being but have been ferocious in the past. These are tiny minorities and so long as they are in a highly defensible situation or constitute a wealthy emirate that donates resources for Jihad they can pursue their recognized apostasy but both Sunni and Shia look to a reckoning. All the Saudi Ire is focused on Qatar for supporting Jihad but more money has gone from the the USA and the Sauds to the various jihadist groups than from all other sources with Qatar and Dubai in next place.
Indonesian Islam in general fifty years ago was Islam in the big cities and the traditional animism/spirit and ancestor worship throughout the Countryside except for East timor and Bali. Arabia exported a seedbed of Wahhabis to Indonesia and the whole country has been developing basic Koranic Islam complete with honor killings and beheading of infidels. Brunei is just beginning to be affected as it has kept the Arabians out so far but now there are plenty of fellow Malays (Indonesians)seeping into the Sultanate. The Malaysian Malays retained their traditional religion with the Moslem overlay a little longer but if you have watched the news from that area, Malaysia is changing now also. There is a large Chinese population in Malaysia which is so far immune to Islam but that will change just as it has changed in Indonesia.
