It was interesting read , but lots of things were exaggerated ..
To counter ISIS , we need to learn the Origin of ISIS which is more connected to Syrian Civil war rather than Iraq Invasion from the US , Bhagdadi was Ex AQ , and he was detained after the US invasion , so we can assume that he does have the idea that AQ as a Organization has failed miserably in order to mobilize a huge amount of Fighters .. AQ and Taliban were only talking about bringing back the Caliphate where Baghdadi has played his master stroke with introducing the Caliphate to the Radical Muslims , who are waiting for that Caliphate since early 90's ..
US has done grave mistakes in Iraq which US itself accept multiple times , the entire Iraqi Army was treated like shit , and leave them for Organization like AQ to use them as their Military trained Fighters with battle experience ..
US continuous war's and Strikes in ME has been the major cause of the recruitment for these Organizations . and US has dragged the EU along with them in this shit .
and later US has done much more bigger mistake by leaving the Iraq in chaos with a Shia Govt in a country which is sunni majority .. and the Govt itself has done horrible things , there were no representation for Sunni in maliki govt .. there were rebels from both Shia and Sunni fighting a bloody civil war's in part of Iraq , and when the Syrian War started , it becomes the new recruitment ground for both Shia and Sunni's ..
ISIS has not just Physically implemented the Caliphate but they have run the Caliphate from the wealth looted by banks and selling Oil in black market ... and so far there is no step is taken to take down these Oil fields , which are cause of their finance ..
Recently US has declared to Trained rebel again and arm them .. but can they guarantee that those rebel will not turn against them later ? Libya and Syria is a example for that ..
massive stocks of weapons were given to Libyans rebels to fight the Ghaddafi , now who will take back those arms from them ? who will dismantle those Rebels forces which were created to fight a Existed Govts ?
ISIS and their crimes can never been justified but keeping the blind eye on their creators and supporters is itself a punishable crime .. lots of people from the west have moved to fight Assad along with Orgs like Al-Nusra , and ISIS and when they become guerrilla fighters they came back to EU and West without any issues .. and now they are been used by the ISIS to launch their attacks ..
and as expected the West will retaliate without understanding the cause of this whole war and attack, more Civilians will die and more recruits for ISIS , same old Propaganda will be sell from both sides , ISIS will recruit fighters to fight against the Evil West , and West will send its forces to bomb those evil terrorist who kill innocent people in France or any other western Country ... so with this there is no solution in sight ..
Maybe Islamism is more precise, I heard CNN start to use this definition.
Islamist definition:
"An advocate or supporter of a political movement that favors reordering government and society in accordance with laws prescribed by Islam. Do not use as a synonym for Islamic fighters, militants, extremists or radicals, who may or may not be Islamists.Apr 5, 2013
but majority of the reports and coverage actually based on words like Radical Islam , Islamic Terrorist , Islamist , Islamic Jihadist ,etc ..
You mean the land mass or the people?
