File under: al-Nusra

#1 WRONG AGAIN everyone

"Any strategy that leaves ~~Jabhat al-Nusra~~ any theocratic Islamist organisation in place will fail to secure the American homeland," the report warns.

Only truly secular muslims pose no threat to the USA or anywhere else

all theocratic fascists are a threat to democracy and freedom. Even the shia in Iran. Yes.

#2 Only truly secular muslims pose no threat to the USA or anywhere else

The Assads were secular Muslims, anon1, as was Saddam Hussein. Both sponsored and trained terror groups that attacked Israel and elsewhere.

#4 Christopher Hitchens demonstrated that Saddam Hussein was not secular

Saddam enjoyed a long relationship with Islam's holy men, inscribed the worlds "Allahu Akhbar" on the Iraqi flag, and sponsored holy jihadis, built mosques, and murdered thousands of people in his "Operation Anfal" borrowing a term from the Koran.

the Baath party modelled itself on European fascism, which was not modelled on secularism and proposes the worship of the state, the party and the leader. In Iraq in the last 15 years under Saddam morphed completely into an Islamist regime and changed all its rhetoric to Jihadism, complete with a koran written entirely in Saddams blood.

Saddam pretended to be secular as he was a minority sect (Sunni) in control of a majority Shia country.

Similarly Bashar al Assad ran a completely religious regime - a minority Alawite religious clan. A variant of shia. It sponsors clerical terrorism around the world and its main ally is Iran, a shia theocracy, and co-sponsors hezbollah.

That is NOT secular.

Finally, you can be a bad leader and secular or a good leader and secular. It is not enough on its own.

but it is an absolutely necessary precurser to any ally being long-term safe for the West.

That means we should have long ago dumped the Saudis and have kicked Turkey out of Nato when Erdogan began sponsoring IS and supporting Islamism

#5 Sad-be-dam was an admirer of Stalin. Hard to square that with being a nazi.
