You Can't Understand ISIS If You Don't Know the History of Wahhabism in Saudi Arabia Posted: 08/27/2014 BEIRUT -- The dramatic arrival of Da'ish (ISIS) on the stage of Iraq has shocked many in the West. Many have been perplexed -- and horrified -- by its violence and its evident magnetism for...

When the US defeated Iraq after the 2003 invasion they disbanded the entire Iraqi army, which resulted in many Ba'athists going underground and joining the insurgency against US forces. Former Iraqi Ba'athists collaborated with Al-Qaeda in Iraq, many for sure even defected to Zarqawi's group...

Analysis: Could support for the 'other' Kurds stall Islamic State? By Cale Salih and Mutlu Civiroglu Kurdish affairs analysts The US and European countries have started arming and co-ordinating with the Kurds to fight the Islamic State (IS). But the Kurds are by no means a monolithic body...

Dont trust the Americans, they may strike at IS in Syria but they'll find ways of trying to arm Nusra front and other terrorists. Why do you think Nursa released that American hostage just yesterday? Civil war in Syria is the interest of Israeli and American hawks. The Obama admin will cave into...

Dont pity me al-Qaeda, because i have none for you. I will raise a fist in the air the day the war crosses into the thiefdom. I certainly will have no pity for the lizard eaters there on either side of the conflict. So forget history, leave that to the experts and to the bookworms, of which you...

al-Qaeda, nobody knows your history, nobody cares about your history. You can call it a great history all you want, but to the rest of us, its just camel piss. We dont care. It was camel shit then, it is camel shit now. Even Mohammad himself told the Arabs how shit they were and that is why God...

Bitch, please. Honestly, leave the history to those that know what they're talking about. Me, i live today, and today, the Arabs are the biggest uncouth savages anywhere in the World. Today, the Arabs are fighting and killing each other over some religion or another. Today, the Arabs are living...

Everybody has an agenda, mine is pro-civilization, pro-freedom, pro-human rights, pro-environment etc Basically, my 'agenda' then is much like most other civilized people. Idealistic as that stretch of an agenda may be. As such, Islamic State does not fit into the picture, nor any other...

For sure they'll try to deflect the fire away from the thiefdom for as long as possible. But the real fun will begin when IS crosses the border and starts killing the Arabs, Saudis, whatever the **** you want to call them. I say, let IS fully establish itself in Anbar and take their caliphate...

You cant question the Qur'an in Islam so if something contradicts the Qur'an, the clergy will have to pick the Qur'an rather that the...

You are right, the West should stay out of the Middle East's internal conflcts. Only in the case of preventing genocide like the situation faced by Yezidis should the West intervene. As for the rest, let the Arabs fight over religion and kill each other. Its not the West's business unless it...

Air force? Navy? Be serious.. These things take decades to build, let alone master what you've already got. IS can try to snatch some jets from Syria, but they wont be able to maintain them for long, let alone have people capable of flying them effectively.
