Every
Western nation is confused as to why their Muslim youth is flooding to support
the Islamic State, yet it’s an easy question that no Western leader will
confront. The answer is deeply imbedded in the Muslim psyche. The answer is
this, it has been sitting there for 1500 years and will never change:
The
Muslim way has always been to gravitate to the winning side, it is how they
learnt to survive constant tribal ideological wars between Sunni and Shia which
served only to temporarily define Islam’s confusing doctrines. Loyalty is a
word they have never known.
But it’s
not just Sunni and Shia that drives the atrocities, it’s the myriad sects and
tribes that bubble within both. They have developed over centuries, aligning
with bitter tribal enemies to defeat a greater threat only to return to killing
each other once the threat has been destroyed. Islam is borne of a violence
that can never be appeased.
The US was shocked that the Iraqi soldiers they
trained and supplied over ten years dropped their arms and fled in the face of
an apparent greater foe.
They hid their uniforms, donned T shirts and jeans and pled their Sunni
doctrine but the Islamic State had anticipated the cowardice with laptops to
determine their IDs. Where there was doubt, they simply asked questions from
the Koran and if the responses indicated a Shia doctrine they were sprayed with
AK47 bullets.
This is the way of the Muslim. He will betray his Islamic sect and join
in killing his own people. He will willingly join the winning side until that
side becomes the losing side and it starts over again.
Islam will fight itself until it gains ascendancy over the West via
immigration, then every sect and tribe of Sunni and Shia will align as
one.
The need to join the winning side beats in the chest of every Western
Islamic youth. Western Muslims were keen to join Al Queda only until it was
degraded and now they are scrambling to join the Islamic State which despises
Al Queda as weak and defeated... so what is the likely outcome if Obama
succeeds in his aim to degrade the Islamic State
The US will never defeat the Islamic threat simply because it doesn’t
understand the Islamic psyche. How is it possible to define, confront and defeat
an enemy with air strikes when it’s an enemy that was formerly your ally but
has melded seamlessly into the ranks of the greater enemy? But Obama’s latest
“strategy” seeks to achieve that impossible task.
The West needs to stop its interference in an Islamic world it has never
understood. It needs to resist its addiction to destroying tyrants like Assad,
Gaddafi, Hussein and Mubarak.
The Islamic world successfully maintained precarious balances of powers
only because these tyrants ruled with an iron fist and a bloodied sword. The
West has now upset that balance and the Islamic world is fighting for new power
bases with new tyrants.
With mid-term elections looming, Obama is determined to keep his
southern borders open and US troops out of Iraq. The danger the Islamic State
poses to the West is that it has expanded unopposed while Obama
equivocated.
Without a military ally, an air force or naval capacity and with only
the weapons the Americans left behind in Iraq and the small arms supplied to Syrian
rebels the Islamic State has successfully projected an international image of
strength that has psychologically spooked the West with graphic images of
executions.
Those atrocities were always there but it wasn’t until they were shown
on our nightly newscasts that voters awoke from their slumber in a watershed of
realisation of what true Islamic doctrine was all about.
Political heavyweights, including Abbott, have
not yet caught up with public concern over Islam.
The Islamic State itself has almost no military capability. Their stolen
US tanks and artillery need regular maintenance as does all equipment subjected
to desert sand.
They now have attack helicopters but have no idea how to fly them and
even if they did, they can’t maintain them or ask the US for spare parts.
Maintenance time equals time in combat and engineers are not part of their
armoury.
They have no ability to deploy heavy equipment efficiently. They have no
carriers in the Gulf, no satellites no drones and no training in sophisticated
warfare apart from their knives, Koran handbooks and laptops.
They can easily be defeated, but as said here ad nauseum, they will not
be defeated with airstrikes alone, they can only be contained. It took ground
troops to create this mess and it will take ground troops to fix it.
It’s to be hoped if the Islamic State can be degraded then the West will
step away and allow this backward cult of Islam to define its own future with a
new set of warlords, who are already jockeying for position and battling to see
who can aspire to recognition for the greater atrocities.
The less we interfere with it the less we will
suffer their terrorist atrocities.
Obama is a fool preoccupied by mid-term elections.
He was warned of the rise of the Islamic State eight months ago but chose to
ignore it.
Now it has had time to establish itself in Iraq’s second largest city of
Mosul, Obama actually believes he can identify and destroy the enemy from the
air? Is he kidding? No, he is serious, and he actually intends to arm the
“moderates”. But his former “moderates” are now part of the Islamic
State.
There is only one way this scourge can be defeated and that’s with
ground troops and integrated air strikes. Once defeated, Western Islamic youth
will no longer be attracted there... until yet another terrorist cell gains the
ascendancy and Islamic youths’ hearts will again start beating excitedly in
anticipation of the West’s annihilation.
There is no greater threat to world peace than a good orator who
espouses bad policy.
Obama has determined to wrestle with smoke while we nurture, finance and
embolden the enemy within.
