FWIW, I perceive this is maneuver warfare being advocated by the same pagans who have inherited the Green Line and have been reaping the consequences of the Green Line Strategy of the 70s/80s.
The Green Line was a US strategy to use Islam as a natural barrier to Soviet and Communist political intrusion from Northern Asia towards warm water ports. Instead of occupying the terrain, the US promoted the empowerment if Islam with more worldly control to oppose the Soviet advance southwards.
The strategy was partially successful, combined with other maneuvering in economic and political spheres, in ultimately collapsing the USSR. An external effect has been the GWOT we witness today.
It appears the GWOT is being maneuvered now to redirect Theist faiths against one another, draining their resources, while allowing paganism to reign without respecting faith.
It wouldn’t surprise me if a large number of collateral attacks aren’t waged to counterfeit a conflict between dogmatic fundamentalists of different faiths between one another. It provides cover and feints for antichristian pagan worldly systems to advance their orders, while further attacking believers, and elevating the stature of pagan unbelievers above other unbelieving systems.
Thanks for the information. I learn so much reading Freerepublic.
