Exactly.
This seems like the worst kind of meddling that is sure to backfire. We are helping with the great Islamic dream, which is far from good news to the world.
McMaster seems like yet another Islamist, advancing the Islamist cause.
Yep—the Saudis have been the biggest exporters of sharia-supremacist, brutal, Wahhabist Islam-spreading mosques across the US and worldwide.
The Saudis are not our friends.
A NATO-like organization? Sounds more like he's pledging American soldiers to fight for the area.
Pres Trump has been doing the heavy lifting and laying the preliminaries on a Nato-type ME coalition for months. It’s time the ME took care of their own regional conflicts and problems instead of relying on foreigners which they can then turn around and demonize. If Trump can pull it off, it will be YUGE!
I like the concept.
If a Mideast NATO could build member countries economically then the rule of Islam would be diminished and capitalism could flourish. Islam cannot govern where capitalism rules. IMO
The official revealed ... According to a Washington Post report
Sounds like more FakeNews.
Of course he is....but you would not know it from the hum of Comey firings and Trumps is a raving lunatic who does not know what he is doing...He is turning the moderate arab world into a group that will declare war on the jihadists so we don’t have to send American troops to every hot spot in the Arab world. Saudi Arabia has as much to fear from Iran as we do so the coming together is natural...we need to ask why no other POTUS came up with this thought.
I know the president means well, but any US involvement will do more to foster the growth of Islam than to stifle it.
Forming a NATO-like organization of muslim states would be the international equivalent of forming a Neighborhood Watch group comprised of all the local burglars, muggers, housebreakers and sexual predators in the neighborhood.
“after eliminating ISIS” ...
snort
This will never happen or happen in name only. There have been ISIS-like groups in the MENA for over 1,000 years. Their ideology is embedded within Islam itself, so they are not going to be “eliminated” by some NATO-like force ... or anyone else.
Also, MENA countries will never be able to get along to become a NATO-like force. Sunni and Shia religious civil war (which has been going on for over 1,000 years) will prevent that from happening.
What it will be is like what we have now .... Muslim countries get non-Mulsim countries to fight their civil war for them.
Because we are stupid.
We will win the Darwin award for doing this.
But seems like every thing is falling into place.
It’s been tried before.
It did not work.
The Arabs squabble to much among themselves and the biggest ones have big agendas in the region of their own.
Better the U,S. have a Middle East “foreign legion” of its own, open only to Middle East recruits. U.S. leaders and material backing, Middle East “boots on the ground”.
Not just no, but F no.
NATO allies have no intention of going to war against ISIS......
“It’s totally out of the question for NATO to engage in any combat operations,” NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Wednesday May 24, 2017.....
