2) Western governments: US and France in particular along
with their Saudi,Qatari, and Turkish allies are directly
responsible for the rise and expansion of ISIS through their
policies in Syria which cuddled and nurtured ISIS and its
sister terrorist organizations.
3) there is no way on earth to stem the menace of ISIS and
Al-Qa`idah like organizations without going to the source,
in Saudi Arabia which is the official headquarters of the
Ibn Taymiyyah's terrorist interpretation of Islam.
4) Ibn Taymiyyah is the one thinker/theologian who has
inspired and guided the deeds and thoughts of terrorists
striking in the name of Islam.
5) Western governments AND media have been rather cynically
silent about victims of ISIS terrorism if the civilian
victims happen to be categorized as "enemies". Western
governments AND media (look at the dispatches from Times and
Post over the last 4 years about Syria) have consistently
ignored and even cheered sectarian massacres of Syrian and
Lebanese civilians if seems as being perpetrated by foes of
the Syrian regime.
6) Just as ISIS and Al-Qa`idah brought terrorism to the
heart of the West, Western governments have also been
exporting death and destruction to the Middle East and North
Africa: from Mali to Libya to Egypt to Sudan to Somalia to
Syria to Iraq to Pakistan to Afghanistan. Terrorism has
been inflicted on people in those countries by the terrorism
of ISIS and Al-Qa`idah and by the bombs and rockets and
drones of Western governments.
7) All Arabs today have noticed something that can't be
ignored: how ISIS and Al-Qa`idah terrorists travel the world
to inflict their terrorism by yet spare Israel and its
interests. The relationship between the Israeli Zionist
occupation entity and Nusrah Front--the official branch of
Al-Qa`idah in Syria--is not a secret anymore.
8) ISIS can't be defeated from the air as long as Western
governments and their Gulf and Turkish allies assist it on
the ground, directly or indirectly.
9) Just as Western powers created and nurtured the precursor
of Al-Qa`idah in Afghanistan in order to defeat the
communist regime there, those same powers have created and
nurtured a cocktail of the worst Middle East terrorists ever
in Syria in the hope that they would bring down the Syrian
regime.
10) the story of ISIS terrorism began with not only the
invasion of Iraq and its repercussions in 2003 but also with
the creation of a vast save haven for Islamist terrorism in
Libya. Libya was the biggest gift to Jihadi terrorism since
the fall of the Taliban.
11) US and France have been creating the culture of
terrorism in the region (along with GCC regimes) but
creating a reckless and terrorist haven in Syria in the name
of fighting for "democracy and secularism"--in the stupid
language of John Kerry--by making dubious distinctions
between various terrorists in Syria through making allies
with Nusrah Front there and its affiliates.
12) The myth of moderate Syrian rebels in Syria has to be
discarded. The remnants of Free Syrian Army units are
basically ISIS in the waiting.
13) Western correspondents in Beirut who are in charge of
covering the Syrian savage war are all guilty (with the
exception of Patrick Cockburn) for misinforming their
leaders and misguiding them. They have been ignoring AND
JUSTIFYING the scores of car bombs and war crimes by Syrian
rebels in Syria and Lebanon because those crimes fit into
their struggle against the Syrian regime.
14) Western human right organizations are also guilty for
creating a culture of bogus human rights rhetoric which
belittled and even justified the war crimes of Syrian rebels
(see the latest human rights report by HRW on placing
Alawite women in cages).
15) French policy under the socialist government has even
elevated the relationship with the Saudi and Qatari
regimes--the two governments which more than anyone have
sponsored and armed and financed the cocktail of the most
dangerous terrorists in Syria.
16) It is high time that Western governments give up on
their policies and wars in Syria not to preserve the Syrian
regime (as Iran and Russia would like) but to exclude from
the future of Syria both sides of war criminals there.
17) I don't like Bashshar Al-Asad one bit and I wanted the
overthrow of that regime since 1976 when its army invaded
Lebanon and smashed my dreams of a progressive leftist
revolution in Lebanon, but who can now disagree with the
warnings given by him three years ago that those terrorists
that they are helping will one day strike in the heart of
Europe? Syrian regime supporters are today all over
reproducing those remarks and reairing them.
18) The Saudi and Qatari regime media (Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiyya
in particular but others as well) have created a culture of
terrorism in which crimes against civilians who happen to be
Shi`ites or Alawites or Christians or Sunnis who reside in
"regime dominated areas of Syria" are justified on a daily
basis. Just yesterday, after the bombs of the southern
suburbs both Saudi and Qatari regime media provided ample
justifications and rationalization for the crimes and
lionized the terrorists who perpetrated them. This culture
of terrorism is responsible climate in which crimes of Paris
take place.
19) Western governments can't have it both ways: they can't
continue to support gulf regimes and arming them while
claiming to want to fight terrorism.
20) US and Western governments and media are responsible for
the selective denunciations and condemnations culture: they
are silent about the daily crimes against the Palestinian
civilian population by key West ally, the terrorist state of
Israel.
21) Arabs/Muslims and Westerners can't get to reach a common
understanding against all manners of terrorism as long as
Western governments and Arab regimes continue to be
selective in condemnation of terrorism.
22) Western support for dictatorships in the Arab world are
responsible in many ways for the creation of ISIS and those
terrorist groups.
23) terrorist groups in the Middle East have been used and
misused by local regimes and Western powers and Israel for
many decades.
24) Yes, the Iraq invasion of 2003 has proven to be exactly
what Jacque Chirac has warned it would be: a dangerous
pandora's box.
25) Obama has really not deviated from the dangerous
policies of Bush and his expansion of wars in the Middle
East fueled the rise of ISIS.
26) The Islam of Arab regimes is a dangerous and
conservative Islam. It can't be changed by the military
commanders of Western powers but it can be changed by the
people of the region if they are allowed to choose and think
freely: but neither the West nor the Arab regimes want the
Arabs to think freely. Al-Azhar University has become
through bribes a tool for the Saudi Wahhabi regime.
27) It is not sectarian to declare Saudi Wahhabi doctrine as
the official doctrine of Jihadi terrorism. Wahhabiyyah is
not a sect: it is a school of fanatical terrorist thought
and practice.
28) How does Western powers fight ISIS? They foolishly rely
on a royal buffoon in Jordan and on the UAE regime to engage
in promoting a kinder Islam in social media. The fools in DC
who think that those potentates have any standing among the
young Muslims need to have their heads examined.
29) Western powers and media are all hypocrites: they still
cheer or cover up the war crimes of ISIS and Nusrah in Syria
if the affected victims happen to reside in Syrian regime
controlled areas.
30) there should be a categorical end to external support of
ALL Syrian rebels and to the Syrian regime by all sides.
31) there is more but I have to run.
32) Oh, also: why does the media coverage make these
massacres West-versus-Islam when many of the victims in
Paris would most likely include many Muslims and when ISIS
in the Middle East kill more Muslims than non-Muslims,
despite the fact that members of US Congress only see Jews
and Christians as victims but not Muslims.
