Im equally disgusted by ISIS, but I wonder if they will feel God justice, look at Hitler, he did MUCH worse things than beheadings to alot more people, and still God never intervened…another case,look at how many babies have been aborted in the US alone since the 1970s, this is a much higher number than Hitler killed!!!..but again, God has yet to intervene, somehow, I doubt he will deal with iSIS if he has been a no show on all these other cases.
God’s justice doesn’t have to mean divine intervention on earth. I think God’s judgment upon death is plenty fair enough.
Did not hitler lose the war? Wasn’t communism miraculously overthrown in a short space of time? God intervenes! Just not in the way you expect. Have faith
That is correct as to the state of affairs between sunni and shia. They have battled against one another since the death of mohamed over succession. And like many zealots, the reigning group use any means at their disposal to further their agenda. The current group are intent on regaining an islamic caliphate across all of the traditional Arab lands. It will be interesting to see how Iran, and the House of Saud respond. But the intent to draw the west into a Religious war is being played to solidify the Sunni line.
Would I be right in saying they want a global caliphate?
I think to hubris you can add stupidity, which has resulted in a lethal combination.
You would be right; for all the hubris of the western world, they can match us blow for blow.
I would say that’s a matter of the pot calling the kettle black. North Americans and Europeans are pretty overt about whatever sexual immorality they engage in, just as Europeans in times past nearly always were. And western women, even chaste women, tend to flaunt their sexuality with clothing and makeup, just as they always have. But how does one, say, compare the immorality of intentionally alluring clothing on an occidental woman to the beatings, rapes, pedophilia, genital mutiliations, temporary marriages, polygamy, and, yes, homosexuality (remember the “Afghan dancing boys”?) so common in the Islamic world that it makes one wonder whether the Marquis de Sade learned his predilections in the Middle East.
One can research Assad and genocide. The family has been bombing their own people for decades and when the Arab spring occurred, they shot their own people. Their acts have been I’d say, more pronounced in Syria.
I don’t always agree with McCain but the long time oppression and iron-fisted dictatorship of Syria has definitely spurned a lot of this conflict.
Well said. And one of the biggest mistakes westerners make is not understanding the true nature of this enemy. And if we play into their hands, by turning this into some sort of new crusade, all bets are off. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” is much more than just an Arab saying. Bin Laden was on our payroll as long as he was shooting at Russians. And Saddam was our guy when shooting Iranians. You cannot form an allegiance with those who wish your destruction. We ( our govco) simply cannot understand that. I am afraid this ship has sailed, and the sky is mostly red.
Syrian girl tells what is behind ISIS:
Lol… you’ve got to be kidding me. Some Youtuber who thinks Obama is a warmonger and that he’s attacking ISIS only as a pretext for “destroying the Syrian state”.
I can’t speak to the “Afghan dancing boys”, only to the number of individuals I have seen hanging, both in Saudi Arabia and Iran.
I am familiar with the issue; the point I am trying to make is that Assad, like Saddam, and Mubarak and Kaddafi were all dictators, keeping a lid on dissent, and in particular, dissent from the minority whether it be Sunni of Shia.
And given the amount of oil still beneath the surface, this is of global concerns. We have Russia, China, and the US as the big players in the sandbox, and given that we can’t agree on a whole lot, it makes for strange bedfellows, both united against ISIS, and lacking any unity, based on economics…
Syrian girl is actually not pro-Assad. I think she says that although she supports Assad currently, after the peace to Syria is restored, she favors a change in regime.Sounds totally legit and in no way pro-Assad propaganda.
This is a woman who thinks Obama’s plan is to take out Assad and nation-build/split up Syria. That is such ridiculous nonsense that basically anything else she says is automatically suspect.
Of course chaste women in the west flaunt their sexuality. That has always been true in the West, and the west is better off for it. I am not talking about nudity or near-nudity here, but (without getting too graphic) does no one know that even high heels are designed to give the calves a pleasing trimness, push the buttocks outward and taut and push the breasts forward? Do men not know that? (Orthopaedists do, though they also caution about undue wear on the front part of the menisci of the knee)
