My American friend asked me to give him a fair assessment about this article that went viral on social media talking about ISIS (1st comment), and I like to share with you some of what I have told him.
That's about right dear Mike, but there is a lot more that was not stated here. However, you are a clever man and you can tell what is going on, even if you don't know.
Almost two years ago, I asked you this question: Why the US is bombing Islamists almost in every corner of the world, except in Syria and Iraq? Well, my friend few months after Mosul city have fell in ISIS' hands, do you remember?
Next question for you Mike, which I have blogged about it here in Arabic (see 2nd comment):
The US government have spent little over 3 billion dollars fighting ISIS in the past 18 months, however, it used to spend between 5-7 billion per week when it occupied Iraq, why the dependency? Why the US is not serious about defeating ISIS?
Try using google translate to see my analysis. however, I prefer if you use your brains 1st. Understand the balances of powers in the region, and think hard.
In nutshell my friend, ISIS isn't Islamist, you and I are closer to Islam than them. They are Sadami Baathist but wear Islamic clothes. They are after power as most dictators.
Here are credible resource about ISIS, I hope you shall find helpful:
1) PBS Frontline did a a great investigation called: The Rise of ISIS (a link in the 3rd comment)
2) Der Spiegel of Germany, did a wonderful analysis. This one, you have to read. (a link in the 4th comment)
You are aware dear that al-Qaeda is fighting ISIS for over two years already, and both get a kick out of chopping each other's heads. LOL, and both are going to heaven DOHHHH.
