GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR RUSSIA/USA COOPERATION TO DESTROY ISIS

THERE EXIST NOW A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR RUSSIA AND USA TO BREAK THE BACK OF ISIS IN SYRIA AND IRAQ AND GAIN THE GRATITUDE OF THE WORLD.

Both Russia and the U.S. look at the Middle East and THEY SEE THEMSELVES. The U.S. religion is democracy; they look at the Middle East and they think: “Oh, we can solve all those problems, give them democracy and then the swamps of terrorism will dry up, Salafism will be gone” The US mindset has failed in Afghanistan, in Iraq in Libya....Russia looks and says: Democracy doesn't work in Islamic societies “we need a strong man, there needs to be stability, or things will crumble”. Russia knows that Karimov of Uzbekistan & Assad of Syria thoygh secular leaders are also dictators, but “both are fighting the Islamists” and that's what counts for Putin “We need somebody strong”.

_____________________________________

I am now going to recommend a battle plan with specific objectives for each Russia and US, but first

 

PREAMBLE 1

Though the foreign ISIS fighters number approx 30,000 (Saudis, Tunisians, Pakistanis, Chechens, Kossovits, European Arabs, Jordanians, Syrians, Druzes, even a few hundred Egyptians) neither Russia nor the US will commit ground troops which means that both countries will use only airstrikes against specific targets.

PREAMBLE 2

America doesn't KNOW what to do in Syria. The country has a) no oil, gas reserves or mineral deposits and b) no geopolitical strategic importance “let Russia have Syria, it is of no consequence”, but it’s very difficult for the U.S., which has been used to being the superpower, the DECIDER, being the policeman of the world - to come to the understanding that it can’t do it, that it can’t be the Decider in places like Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria - and that’s very hard to relinquish that role to someone else, and particularly, to Russia; so they’re trying to keep everybody weak, they of course don’t want Assad to win, but they don’t want ISIS or Jaish al-Fatah to win either. Letting the swamp boil is probably what America’s policy will add up to in the end.

PREAMBLE 3

By contrast, Russia knows what to do in Syria: control of terrain, that is presently the key issue: how much ground is held and by WHOM. This is what matters, it is what will count at the second Vienna meeting. Putin doesn't believe that Assad will last long, but NOW is not the time for his departure, after ISIS is defeated YES.

                           
Click to enlarge to see how crucial the issue of Control of Terrain is ... In the end it is how much land is controlled in Syria and by WHOM.
                           









                                            ________________________________

THE BATTLE PLAN

A. RUSSIA
Russia war policy MUST be centered on what I call TRIPLE A: Aleppo + Airfield + Air strikes.



The city of Aleppo is only 5 minutes fly time from the Russian airfield at Latakia which means that they can launch 50-60 airstrikes a day. The Syrian Government forces aided by Iranian volunteers and Hezbollah must assault the city in 3 pronged fronts under the cover of continuous Russian strikes. Retaking Aleppo will of course boost Assad Government forces' prestige, but the world will know that such a victory would have been impossible without the sustained, unrelenting and accurate Russian airstrikes.

ALEPPO FOR RUSSIA

      

                                           ___________________________________

B. USA
The US war policy MUST be centered on what I call TRIPLE R: Raqqa + Ramadi (Iraq) + Raids.



Sunni Syrian Arab battalion firing at Raqqa.

Raqqa must be freed of ISIS which will be a crushing defeat for the depraved Islamists, that's why ISIS moved a convoy of nearly 100 military vehicles packed with arms, ammunition and fighters from the eastern countryside of Raqqa to one of the terror group's bases within the city. Fortification of the group's de-facto capital in Syria comes just a day after Kurdish YPG forces backed by U.S.-led coalition airstrikes wrested control of the town of Ain Isa. The tactical victory puts ISIS' formidable rivals just 55 kilometers (about 34 miles) away from the city of Raqqa.



Kurdish Peshmarga YPG formidable, pitiless sworn enemies of ISIS


First, however, expect the fight to be long, bloody and dangerous. A significant ground force composed of Kurds aided by Sunni Arab groups of composite fighters under a sustained US airstrikes could be required to expel Islamic State fighters, who are heavily armed and well dug in, and then free the city of 200,000 people.

As much as half the city could well be flattened in the battle. Assuming the city is reoccupied the nightmarish scenario of governing & preventing revenge killings would start almost immediately.

NOW THE QUESTION IS WHO WILL FREE RAQQA?

Right now, there doesn’t seem to be many interested in carrying out this difficult mission.

1. It does not look like the Kurds are spoiling to take the largely Arab city.
   
2. The United States will not be sending in significant ground forces to do the job.
   
3. Turkey seems disinclined to send its forces across the border to wage war, particularly given Ankara’s hostility to most Kurdish insurgents.
   
4. The various groups that make up the Free Syrian Army are far too weak to take on Islamic State directly.
   
5. In addition, the coalition fighting against Islamic State is certainly not eager for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his Iranian backers to march back into the city.
   

                         __________________________________________

The only option is the destruction with heavy and sustained air stikes; but if US military advisors can somehow consolidate an effective ground offensive, it would regain its tarnished status as a major player in the future of Syria.

AFTERMATH

In Aleppo & Raqqa, once the shooting ends, any liberating military would quickly confront a significant infrastructure and refugee problem. This invariably would lead to the second big conundrum: the critical effort of providing an effective government.

BRAVEPUTIN NOW CORNERED ... HAS TO CARRY THE FIGHT IN SYRIA AGAINST DAESH (ISIS) AND ONLY DAESH

I am reprinting my article POSTED on F/B SATURDAY OCTOBER 31, immediately after the Foreign Ministers of 15 nations met in Vienna the day before to come to a resolution to end the war in Syria.

 

BRAVE PUTIN HAS BEN CORNERED IN SYRIA

Russian President Vladimir Putin (R) greets his Syrian counterpart Bashar al-Assad upon his arrival for a meeting at the Kremlin in Moscow on October 21, 2015

Anyone who thought that the USA would sit with arms crossed while Russia is bombing the anti-Assad factions in Syria is deluded. The USA is militarily & economically the globe's SUPER POWER. Started to hail Russia as the saviour of the M.E. was optimistically premature. As much as I despise the Americans M.E. STRATEGIC AGENDA for the entire region, it would be foolish to ignore USA capabilities, in particular the old double standard tricks of getting the nose of camel into the tent. I expected the USA to take steps concomitant with its declared policy to support those who fight Assad and IT DID ... BRILLIANTLY by doing two very smart moves:

1. Sending US military personal with order to supposedly fire back ONLY at ISIS is a cover-up. Its troops will be deployed on the ground held by the anti-Assad factions (Free Syrian Army + Al Nusra + Agnad Al Sham). In essence, to protect them from a) being targeted by Russian airstrikes and b) being overrun by any attempts of the Syrian Government Forces to reoccupy lost grounds.
2. Announcing to give $100 millions to the Rebel Forces is a blunt message to Putin that the rebels will receive US high tech weaponry and that Russia may/will now face losses of equipment & lives.
3. The USA knows that Putin will NOT risk a prolonged campaign with mounting losses.

THE US HAS IN EFFECT BACKED PUTIN INTO A CORNER.

    _______________________________________________________

Putin now has only 2 choices:

1. Carry the fight ONLY against DAESH (ISIS) IN SYRIA which was the official reason for Russia's intervention; in other words the US is now forcing him to make good on his morally based principles & intentions to defeat ISIS, though the REAL Russia's REASON WAS TO PROP UP THE REGIME OF ASSAD by smashing his enemies and regaining as much lost grounds as possible or

    2. HOLD the present ground (Port & Airport facilities) and wait for the planned Syrian November 

       election. 

PUTIN HAS BEEN OUTMANEUVERED IN SYRIA ... AND THAT IS PRECISELY WHAT I FEARED, HOWEVER HE STILL HAS A FEW OPTIONS, THOUGH LIMITED, TO ANCHOR RUSSIA'S PRESENCE IN THE M.E. (refer to end paragraph entitled WHAT RUSSIA MUST DO)

___________________________________________________

After the foreign ministers of 15 countries held an international meeting in Vienna, Austria, on Friday to resolve the years-long conflict in Syria, let's look at how does the USA vs Russia Balance Sheet in Syria/Iraq look like:

John Kerry with British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif during Vienna meeting

USA

• NEUTRALIZED RUSSIA'S “KNOCK OUT PUNCH” BY ESCALATING MILITARY PRESENCE
• RUSSIA GAVE AMERICA THE COMPELLING EXCUSE FOR PUTTING BOOTS ON THE GROUND WHICH, TO DATE, HAS BEEN MISSING DESPITE ITS BEST EFFORTS TO FABRICATE ONE
  
• REBEL GROUPS ANTI-ASSAD BETTER ARMED
  
• GROUPS ASSURED OF HOLDING CONTROL OF LARGE PART OF SYRIA
  
• REGIME CHANGE SOON - ASSAD “OUT”
  
• AMERICA’S ARMS PRODUCERS AND THEIR STOOGES IN CONGRESS ALL SALIVATING WITH JOY IN ANTICIPATION OF THE PROFITS THEY WILL REAP BOTH FROM THE DESTRUCTION AND THE SUBSEQUENT REBUILDING OF SYRIA.
  
  ______________________________________

RUSSIA

 

Meeting of 15 Foreign ministers in Vienna sponsored by Russia  to find solution to end war in Syria.

• US HAS BEEN CAUGHT “FLAT-FOOTED” BY RUSSIA’S BOMBING CAMPAIGN IN SYRIA


• RUSSIA INTERVENTION WAS NOT AN ILL-CONSIDERED, OFF THE CUFF RESPONSE BY AN ISOLATED LEADER, IT WAS INSTEAD WELL PREPARED MONTHS AHEAD
  
  
• SYRIAN ARMY LESS DEMORALIZED AND REAPED A SHORT-TERM TACTICAL ADVANTAGE - RUSSIANS SUCCESSFUL
  
• DRIVING FORCE FOR THE VIENNA MEETING - ANOTHER RUSSIAN SUCCESS
  
• FORCED A CHANGE IN THE US M.E. STRATEGY THAT INCLUDED DIPLOMATIC EFFORTS TO FIND A POLITICAL SOLUTION TO THE SYRIAN CONFLICT – RUSSIAN SUCCESS
• ABLE TO BRING TOGETHER REPRESENTATIVES OF US, KSA AND IRAN – YET ANOTHER SUCCESS
• DESPITE LONG AIR & MARITIME LINES TO SYRIA MANAGED TO RESUPPLY ITS FORCES - A FEATHERED IN ITS CAP
• ABILITY TO LAUNCH MILITARY CAMPAIGN FAR FROM ITS SHORES - ANOTHER FEATHERED IN ITS CAP


• PROVED TO THE WORLD THAT MILITARILY RUSSIA IS NO LONGER A PAPER-TIGER
  
  
• KERRY SPEAKING ABOUT WHAT THE US-CONTROLLED COALITION WILL AND WILL NOT ALLOW IN POST-WAR SYRIA IS MERE POSTURING

Option for Russia

Military situation in the Syrian Civil War.   

Controlled by Syrian Government forces   Controlled by Kurdish forces (Rojava)   Controlled by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant   Controlled by al-Nusra Front   Controlled by Syrian opposition forces

Show the US that RUSSIA can also play the game of Opportunism and self-interest. A game which is indisputably the cornerstones of the corporatist ideology that now holds full sway in America. To this end here is:

___________________________________________

what Russia MUST DO Militarily and politically

 

 

 

 

Russian fighter jets over Syria

1. Continue DAESH bombing campaign in Syria
2. Convince Iran that Assad will eventually go
3. Seek China involvement by asking it to provide 10-12 Chinese fighter-bombers & supply ammunition
4. Cut off the supply line of ISIS between Iraq and Syria
5. Accept Iraq request to bomb ISIS stronghold in Iraq
6. After securing & coordinating joint agreement with US (who has 10,000 troops in Iraq)

            ______________________________________________


Conclusion

Since there is no prospect that the US will remove itself from the conflict, I would say that Russia’s direct involvement is, for the time being, preferable to it doing nothing, however unpredictable the ultimate consequences of Russia's involvement may be.

If it destroys ISIS & other Jehadists in both Syria & Iraq, Russia's intervention will have indeed STABILIZED THE WHOLE MIDDLE EAST and made it a principle stakeholder in a post-ISIS war.

    ____________________________________________________________________

ADDENDUM

 

 

My recommendation is for RUSSIA to execute immediately a COUNTER MEASURE feasible scenario that cannot be criticized by the US which can only watch as it unfolds. My scenario involves two (2) phases: A) military solution followed by B) political compromise.

         __________________________________________________

A) MILITARY SOLUTION – phase 1

1. Pound DAESH - ONLY DAESH areas – with non-stop airstrikes
2. Sustained & coordinated OFFENSIVE by Syrian Government Army to
3. REOCCUPY all or at least most of the DAESH ground

In this scenario the Syrian government forces RECONQUER 2/3 of Syria.

Once accomplished, phase 2 start at once.

B) POLITICAL COMPROMISE – phase 2

1. Announce a new POWER SHARING CONSTITUTION which will take into account the various major ethnic groups i.e.
2. P.M. a SUNNI (pop. Majority)
3. C-in-C of armed forces a KURD (Sunni)
4. Chief of Police an Allaouite
5. Mixte cabinet Ministers
6. PRESIDENT becomes a figure head with no executive powers (Italy, India, Lebanon, others)

This new power sharing agreement will terminate the 40 year stranglehold control of Syria by the minority ALLAOUITES and ASSAD can remain a caretaker figurehead President for a short period before RETIRING.

 

Whatever happens to Assad, one thing is certain the steely grip of the minority (17%) Shia allaouites will be gone forever. Syria is 75% SUNNI ... numbers count and majority rules.

         ___________________________________________

THE TOTAL ELIMINATION OF DAESH (ISIS) IN SYRIA would satisfy BOTH USA & RUSSIA who can now claim “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED”.

1. Obama can now report to Congress that in accordance with stated US policy Assad has been clipped and is on the way out.

2. Putin can also take immense credit for having prevented the reconstruction of Syria and ensured the survival of the country's territorial integrity ... Syria would remain INTACT.

                ___________________________________________________

The losers will be Israel & Iran ... with Turkey as the odd man out.

 

KING GHAZI I OF IRAQ ---- AN UNFULFILLED DESTINY.

KING GHAZI I OF IRAQ – AN UNFULFILLED DESTINY.

Ghazi bin Faisal (Arabic: فيصل ابن  غازي ‎ Ġāzī bin Fayṣal) (2 May 1912 – 4 April 1939) was the King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Iraq from 1933 to 1939 having been briefly Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Syria in 1920. He was born in Mecca (in present-day Saudi Arabia), the only son of Faisal I, the first King of Iraq. The Hashemites had ruled the Hijaz within the Ottoman Empire, before rebelling with British assistance, in the later stages of World War I.

Unlike his worldly father, Ghazi grew up a shy and inexperienced young man. Following the defeat of his grandfather's army by Saudi forces in 1924, he was forced to leave the Hijaz with the rest of the Hashemites. They travelled to Transjordan where Ghazi's uncle Abdullah was King. In the same year Ghazi joined his father in Baghdad and was appointed as crown prince and heir to the Kingdom of Iraq. His father had been crowned King Faisal I of Iraq following a national referendum in 1921.

On 8 September 1933, King Faisal I died, and Ghazi was crowned as King Ghazi I. King Faisal sent Ghazi, his only son to a MILITARY SCHOOL, NOT FOR OFFICERS, BUT FOR NON-OMMISSIONED OFFICERS (SERGEANTS/CORPORALS).

The subject of this article is King Ghazi and whether, on 5 April 1939, he died aged 27, BY ACCIDENT OR DESIGN. But what may be described as a historical ‘WHODUNIT’ (BRITISH WITH THE COMPLICITY OF NURI EL SAID) also constitutes the peg on which a broader tale hangs: the story of Iraqi politics in the months and years before and after the king's death. Above all, my intent is to convey some idea of the conditions in which politics have taken place in Iraq and the wider Middle East. This episode offers an opportunity to observe the clash of British and Iraqi versions of historical truth and discover, if we choose to believe the Iraqi version, an example of how British officials and British or pro‐British witnesses and historians have denied fabricated, omitted or diverted attention from the facts.

At age 18, King Ghazi was a competent flyer.

Mercedes given by Chancellor Hitler. 

 Like a growing number of others in the Islamic world at the time, KING GHAZI WAS A PAN-ARAB NATIONALIST. The Pan-Arab movement looks to unify the Islamic world as if it were one state. Pan-Arabism is generally secular, often socialist in nature, and opposes western influence in Arab nations. The British still exercised strong influence in Iraq and Ghazi's pro-Arab unity, anti-colonial, anti-western views became an increasing thorn in their side. It is of course my personal opinion, but I AM CONVINCED THAT HAD KING GHAZI LIVED, HE WOULD HAVE PLANTED THE SEED FOR THE END OF BRITISH COLONIALISM and BROKEN THE BRITISH IRON-CLAD GRIP IN THE ARABIAN PENINSULA.

 His government worked towards a union of Arab countries under the Pan-Arab movement. He signed Treaties and non-aggression pacts with Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan and Turkey. Although the British had helped install his father as King, Ghazi often acted against British interests in Iraq. He angered the British with Pro-Arab national broadcasts to the people delivered through his private radio station. During his short but RELATIVELY POPULAR RULE OF ROUGHLY SIX YEARS, Ghazi fostered the nationalist and military movements that would eventually bring the monarchy to a brutal end. His reign was marked by improvements to Iraqi infrastructure in the form of new roads, irrigation, railroads and schools. His reign is also noted as being a time of expanded exploitation of Iraqi oil reserves resulting in new pipelines and resulting in greater oil revenues.

For this purpose he had his own radio station in al-Zuhoor royal palace in which he promoted that claim and other radical views.

On 25 January 1934 Ghazi married his first cousin, Princess Aliya bint Ali, daughter of his uncle King Ali of Hejaz. Queen Aliya eventually separated from King Ghazi.

 

 

When Ghazi died in a car crash on 4 April 1939, the politician Nuri as-Said was widely suspected of being implicated in his death. At the royal funeral crowds chanted: “YOU WILL ANSWER FOR THE BLOOD OF GHAZI, NURI.”. Nuri as-Said was suspected to have been in contact with queen Aliya, who lived, separated from her husband and plotted with the brother of the queen, 'Abd al-Ilah, to depose the King. Nuri supported the accession of 'Abd al-Ilah as regent for Ghazi’s successor.

 

 

During World War II, Iraq was on the British side, but did not take part in the war. When in 1941, an Iraqi nationalistic military coup sympathetic to the Nazis removed regent Abdul Ilah, a brief Anglo-Iraqi war broke out. Faisal’s mother, Queen Aliya, then divorced from King Ghazi, fled with young Faisal II to Abdullah I in Jordan. The British restored order with the help of Jordanian forces, and Abdul Ilah was put back in power. Faisal II and his mother returned, but the Queen died in 1950. Faisal II went to school in England, together with his second cousin Hussein of Jordan and they became close friends. 

 

Queen Aliya - estranged wife of King Ghazi I - was the only and last Queen of Iraq. She died in 1950, aged 39.

NOW, I urge everyone - it is a must - to listen to the interview of the last princess of Iraq – Princess Badeea bint Ali al-hashimi – the younger sister of Queen Aliya. Their father was Ali ibn Hussein, the last KING of Hejaz 1924-1925 - a very honorable & talented man who had only ONE WIFE. King Ali & Grand Sherif of Mecca (1879-1935) was the ELDEST BROTHER of Future Kings Abdullah of Transjordan and Faisal I of Iraq. It is difficult to understand her because she uses the FORMAL - LITTERARY Arabic lexicon and not the modern popular e.g. the verb to go is ZAHABA (formal) and not RAH (popular).

Born in Syria in 1920, Badeea bint Ali al-Hashimi* is the last surviving princess of IRAQ. She has been living in London for more than three decades. At the time of this interview she was 88 years old. Let me put her in perspective: She is 1. The GRANDDAUGHTER of Grand Sherif Hussein of Mecca, the leader of the Arab revolt in 1916 (Lawrence of Arabia), 2. Her FATHER - Sherif Ali ibn Hussein - was the last KING of HEJAZ, 3. Her UNCLES were King Abdallah of Transjordan & King Faisal I of Iraq, 4. Her SISTER -Princess Aliya bint Ali – The last & only QUEEN of Iraq - was the wife of KING GHAZI I of Iraq, 5. Her BROTHER - Prince Abdul ILLah – was the REGENT of Iraq, 6. Her nephew was King Ghazi I, 7. Her grandnephew – King Faisal II – was the murdered last King of Iraq … SHE LIVED AND WITNESSED ALL THE MAJOR EVENTS OF THE LAST 100 YEARS IN THE ARABIAN PENINSULA ... INCREDIBLE!

 P.S. Princess Badee’a came with her family to Iraq in 1927 and left it in 1958 after hiding for one month following the July 14 revolution. King Faisal I was her uncle and Prince Abdul Ilah (who was killed in the 1958 revolution with PM Nouri Saeed and King Faisal II) was her brother. She has three sons.

 

 

RUSSIA'S GAMBLE

I am posting this article here on my blog because of the stupidity and dogmatic idiocy of many Islamic societies. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. As usual, I shall not mince my words, especially in view of the fact that there are millions who still have ambivalent feelings towards the MBs, ISIS, DAESH, BOCA HARAM and similar horrors why? Because they are unable or unwilling to resist the atavistically induced state OF CATATONIC ADORATION at the mere mentions of the words “KORAN & MOHAMED”.

Now, I want them to face and admit the harsh reality and meaning of the present catastrophe in the M.E., no more hesitation or cover ups. THE CONFLICT we are witnessing IS A BATTLE BETWEEN SECULARISM & ISLAM. I repeat ISLAM, not just a few break away sects. Let me encapsulate it further by saying that this is a repugnant and monstrous example of THE CRISIS OF CIVILIZATION. Remember those words and what they stand for “THE CRISIS OF CIVILIZATION.”

 

Every society is trying to adapt to the unfamiliar grounds they used to stand on: A ground which is shifting beneath their feet under the technological marvels of GPS, cell phones, computers, TV, etc. It is a new world led by the continuous technology-innovations of a few countries (USA, GERMANY, JAPAN) and the economic mass-productivity of some (China & India). In this highly fractured times we live in, every culture is trying to GO FORWARD, to bridge the gap, to be part of the 21th century, to belong to “CIVILIZATION”, every culture that is, except THE ISLAMIC CULTURE which claims that its salvation is to adopt the ways Moslems lived in the days of the prophet by adhering to a set of belief-system existing in the VII th century i.e. more than 1400 years ago.

 

The relentless message of the degenerate clerics is FORGET THE MODERN ERA and its temptations; looking BACKWARD is ISLAM’s salvation and the duty of every Moslem. Such dogmatic behavior is symptomatic of the fundamental delusion that has prevented many ISLAMIC REGIMES from responding rationally to THE CRISIS OF CIVILIZATION. That delusion consists of an unwavering fundamentalist faith: READ THE KORAN, BELIEVE IN SHARIA AND PRAY TO ALLAH AND HE WILL PROVIDE THROUGH THE MIRACULOUS GENIE.

 Such deep-rooted structural realities & mental insanity mean that Yemen, Libya, Iraq and even Saudi Arabia are indeed on the brink of protracted state failure. Thus, instead of helping to establish the dignity of human relationships, man/man, man/woman and to search for fairness of justice in a strife-torn humanity, these sicko clerics who are nearly all covert supporters of Islamists do everything in their power to REJECT the introduction of social practices of justice and ideas conducive to freedom in a global society. The last thing on their diseased mind is to defend the notions of harmony and unity by going beyond the realms of cultural differences and without sacrificing local/individual ties and to admit to no artificial boundaries— political, ideological or geographic.

RUSSIA’S GAMBLE

Shoring up Assaad and bombing ISIS MAY PAY OFF. If it does the US & UK will no longer be the sole ARBITERS of the M.E. future. Russia will be the new player. However time is Russia’s enemy. It must continue its air assault relentlessly, day and night, and present the West with a “fait accompli” very soon.

WHY ARE THE DOGMATIC SECTARIAN ISIS/TALIBAN/ISLAMISTS PERPETRATING CRUEL ACTS UPON THEIR OWN PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY THE TALIBAN ON AFGHAN WOMEN AND WHY IS THEIR DISTORTED PHILOSOPHY GAINING GROUNDS ALL OVER MOSLEM NATIONS.

 

Taliban Army Bases in Afghanistan

This dissertation is not exclusively limited to the TALIBAN, it also applies to all aberrant ISLAMIST GROUPS as they all share the same fundamental reasons for existence. The article is divided into headings: FACTS…THE WEST QUANTUM LEAP….ISLAMISTS FUNDAMENTAL MOTIVATIONS….WELCOME TO THE 7TH CENTURY….EPILOGUE.

PREAMBULE

Islamic nations are in turmoil, imprisoned in a dogmatic religious fervor. The present conflict is between on the one hand the modern world (21th century) and on the other hand Islamic FEUDAL fundamentalism. To many it is simply SECULARISM VS. ISLAM.

 

 

FACTS

The TALIBANS, during interrogation, look at you WITH BLANK DEAD-EYES RECITING A FEW SIMPLE VERSES IN ARABIC - A LANGUAGE THEY CANNOT READ, WRITE NOR UNDERSTAND…. The fact is that THEY VISCERALLY HATE THE MODERN WORLD, ALL OF ITS LAWS AND ACHIEVEMENTS BY REJECTING WESTERN CULTURE….With glaring expressions, they mention higher motivational reasons stating with fanatical affirmation that their actions are justified because they are rooted in the belief of ALLAH and the KORAN…. They are deaf to any academic consideration such as, for example, the possibility that the 4000 BCE (Before Common Era) notion of one single Creator-GOD could be a fable and that the word-of-mouth HADICE collected 1400 years ago is but a clever propagandistic myth…..These Taliban monsters, both men and women – yes there are women Taliban (sisters & daughters) show no hesitation, no human decency nor remorse in kidnapping school girls, then burning with cigarettes butts 50 % of the bodies and face of 9, 11 & 13 year-old Afghan girls because they attended school…These degenerates are impervious to logic and reasoning, explaining that “WE DO THIS SO THAT THE NEXT 2 GENERATIONS OF OUR WOMEN REMAIN PURE BELIEVERS IN ISLAM AND MOHAMED”…..repeating incessantly to UN troops “YOU SHALL NEVER DEFEAT US”.

THE WEST QUANTUM LEAP

Up until the mid-fifties, the technological and scientific gap between the WEST and a few progressive Moslem nations, such Egypt & Turkey, even Iraq was significant but not insurmountable….it was just a question of producing more doctors, engineers, laboratories and creating consumer-related industries….It was thought feasible in time….but today 60 years later, Western achievements in every field has left the Islamic world far behind. What was considered as feasible 2 generations ago is now impossible to even contemplate. The WEST’s advance is indeed near science fiction, with satellites orbiting the earth recording & analyzing every inches of the globe, multiple landings on distant planets, stars explorations, nuclear submarines & aircraft carriers armed with tridents missiles, not to mention computer technology and its regular innovations, the gap faced by Moslem nations has become a deep, nightmarish abyss, when compared to the WEST’s quantum leap. Any hope of catching up or narrowing the gap is now pure illusion. The sheer magnitude, given the present conditions, of poverty, ignorance, technological backwardness and above all, the realization of the sustained gigantic effort required, by a culturally lazy, contemplative & fatalistic society, is an insurmountable objective.

SUCH REALIZATION IS AT THE ROOT OF THE ENDURING FEELING OF:

 1. INFERIORITY (WHICH IN TURN CAUSED)

 2. THE EXPLOSION OF FEUDALISTIC FUNDAMENTALISM 

“We know now we can never catch up, but we do not want your materialistic and greedy culture….we have our non-Western tradition and our own separate culture…. Our refuge is ISLAM, SHARIA AND KORAN”. Notice how SHARIA comes before Koran.

The sad fact is that such a fallacious argument is the characteristic defense mechanism of a desperate, if not destitute people…of an overwhelmed society about to lose its identity under the repeated blows of Western technology, culture and who in protest opted to reject the 21th century as the symbol of Western superiority…. preferring instead to fall back on the medieval dogma of its religious root and the belief in magic….the genie syndrome who out of a bottle, on a magical carpet, will spread wealth and give the Moslem world the technology it needs to equal the West.

 

ISLAMISTS FUNDAMENTAL MOTIVATION

The purported message of the West to Islam is that of a mutual partnership for the good of all…it would have been believable as well as acceptable were it not belied by the continuous unilateral support of Israel who carries out with impunity daily humiliations of nearly 4 million subjugated Palestinians + 6 million expatriates….and so, LIKE HAMAS AND OTHER MOSLEM RESISTANCE GROUPS, ISIS, TALIBAN & ISLAMISTS VIEW THE WEST/MOSLEM RELATIONSHIP, NOT AS A PARTNERSHIP, BUT AS THAT OF MASTER/PUPPETS…A CONFLICT BETWEEN WESTERN LIES AND HYPOCRISY VS. ISLAMIC HONOUR AND RIGHTEOUSNESS.

The Taliban enjoy wide support of many Afghanis and are helped geographically and climatically, unlike the flat desert of the Middle East, by an ideal guerilla mountainous terrain which give credence to the “you will never defeat us”….Once this stance is fully adopted, a complex additional set of factors are also at play in this conflict, namely:

1.  General Ignorance of the modern world and how it works. The Taliban's extremely strict and anti-modern ideology has been described as an "innovative form of sharia combining Pashtun tribal codes”.         

2.   Ignorance of Islam’s great civilizing contributions from the 8th – 13th century….like all break away sect (Shiites, Wahhabis, Ismailis), the Taliban knowledge of Islam is limited to Mohamed, Caliph Ali and Islamic introduction to the Indus valleys in the 14th century….They have no idea that from the beginning the real West/Moslem arena was in the Mediterranean…..Christianity in the North and Islam in the south….the prize being the hegemony of the Mediterranean basin….and that

3. What happened in Afghanistan, India, Pakistan 5 centuries later was but a parochial affair.

Lack of Government Police Stations and communication network which allowed them to get rid of employment, education, sports for all women, dancing, clapping during sports events, kite flying, and characterizations of living things, including drawings, paintings, photographs, stuffed animals, and dolls.

Strict Adherence to the SHARIA: which means prohibiting satellite dishes, cinematography, musical equipment, pool tables, chess, masks, alcohol, tapes, computers, VCRs, television, anything that propagates sex and is full of music, wine, lobster, nail polish, firecrackers, statues, sewing catalogs, pictures, Christmas cards. The Taliban are averse to debating doctrine with other Muslims. The Taliban do not allow even Moslem reporters to question [their] edicts or to discuss interpretations of the Koran.

Against the endemic corruption of multi-party Government Officials, ISLAMISTS offer a government set up as a secret society run by CLERICS ... mysterious, secretive, and dictatorial. They do not hold elections, as their spokesman explained, because the Sharia does not allow politics or political parties. 

 

Kalashnikov assault rifles and RPGs (endless supply) abound. In such an environment, war meant employment while peace meant unemployment.

Return to an Agrarian society in the name of Islam in which the women will do all the field work

 WECOME BACK TO THE 7th CENTURY

The Taliban, ISIS like the Ikhwans are saying that Moslem men need only to read the KORAN which provides all the answers…. What is important is to be brought up in a totally male society, where dominating women simply affirmed manhood. Furthermore, education in mathematics, science, history or geography, traditional skills of farming, herding, or handicraft-making are superfluous, because God the almighty will feed everybody one way or another. (the genie syndrome).

“We want to live a life like the Prophet lived 1400 years ago, and jihad is our right. We want to recreate the time of the Prophet, and we are only carrying out what MOSLEM MEN have wanted for SO LONG. GENERAL ELECTIONS ARE INCOMPATIBLE WITH SHARIA AND THEREFORE WE REJECT THEM”.

EPILOGUE

Though long ago I understood that all religions are nothing but bunk (the Opium of the masses), yet as a Middle Eastern man, born in Egypt with a Moslem birth name, I used to feel proud….Not anymore… seeing how fast the distorted philosophy of sectarian sects like the Ikhwans, Taliban, the aberrant ISIS monsters & others has spread all over the Moslem world, infecting and poisoning even the traditional moderate Sunnis, my feeling of shame today is indescribable…. Take women’s rights under Islam:

Moslem women, as early as the 8^th century could inherit & administer their property on their own and that was centuries before European women were given the same rights … But everything became corrupted in the last 800 years, including the sickening belief that women must be subjugated & are nothing but perpetual slaves to men. SUCH A NOTION IS A TRAVESTY OF THE HISTORICAL ROLE AND RIGHTS OF WOMEN GIVEN UNDER TRUE ISLAM.

Think of that AND OPEN YOUR MINDS...NO MORE PROSTRATIONS 5 TIMES A DAY OFFERING YOUR HEAD AND MIND IN SLAVE LIKE BLIND SUBMISSION….NOBODY IS BORN TO BE A SLAVE … 800 YEARS OF MINDLESS SLAVERY ARE ENOUGH!

My message to all women, born a Moslem anywhere in the world, is that they should unite and ask to REGAIN their inherited Islamic rights, insist on a religious reformation …  or failing that declare themselves to be proud agnostics and take KORAN, HADICE, BIBLE, GOSPELS, TORAH and shelve all in the house library under the “FICTION & LEGEND” section… never to look at them again.

NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO REFORM ISLAM

President Al Sissi, the brave ex-Field Marshall has ASKED THE ULEMAS OF AL-AZHAR UNIVERSITY TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX ...
"EGYPT & ISLAM NEED A RELIGIOUS REVOLUTION"

 

The Koran, a LIVE WORD (and like all living things subject to natural evolution) must be interpreted according to the context. The revelation was given in the 7th century under very different conditions from those which prevail today. The reflection on the REFORM of the Islamic thought is not new. Many thinkers proposed to reinterpret the Koranic message according to the HISTORICAL CHANGING CONTEXT. But each time this approach turns short or is crushed ….the reference to the pious obedient ancestors, the contemporaries of MOHAMED DOMINATES EVERYTHING AND EVERY ATTEMPT….it is as if today’s modern Moslems do not have enough confidence in themselves to GO FORWARD.

HADITH

(a collection of opinions about many subjects attributed to the prophet MOHAMED - the first such collection occurred 200-250 years after the prophet's death by the Persian researcher Mohamed Al Bukhairi. However, there were earlier collection of opinions written by contemporaries ... who were told most emphatically by MOHAMED to destroy/burn any writings which is not the KORAN).
 
As reported by Al Bukhairi, the prophet said with no equivocations: "do not write anything from me except the KORAN, those who wrote anything else must erase it"

 

 The first four Caliphs - Abu Bakr, Omar ibn Khattab, Othman Ibn Affan, Ali ibn Abu Talib -, all four obeyed the prophet's instructions and forbade the writings of all Hadiths. In fact, they burned all copies of Hadiths, including their own notes. "... and we have given you, the word of God in the KORAN which is complete ... what is mentioned in the KORAN, you must follow, for it is the law of ALLAH ... what is not mentioned is up to you...."

 

Eliminating and excluding Hadiths from the teaching of Islam means that the clerics become toothless ... no more 800 years of interpretations ... no more FATWAS ... NO MORE SHARIA LAW ... No more wearing of Niqab ... no ISIS, etc.

 

DISMISSING ALL VERSIONS OF HADITHS AS FALSE AND UNTRUE ... THAT IS THE RELIGIOUS REVOLUTION ... advocated by President El Sissi of Egypt ... there is no need to do anything else.
